    I just purchased a Catrike Road and the bike shop didn't have any mirrors
    that would fit. Does anyone know of a mirror that will fit the bars of a
    Catrike in black finish? A handle bar end mount won't work as the shifters
    are there. I've seen pictures of very nice looking mirrors on the Catrike
    but no info on them. Please help!

    I used a "bar end" on the left steerer bar and installed a "mountain
    Mirror"in the end of the "bar end" tube.

    As I said earlier, I have bar end shifters on both sides so bar end mirrors
    won't work.

    All Catrikes have barend shifters,I added a "barend" like they use on MTN
    bikes to the left hand steering bar.

    I've done just the same thing (except left => right for UK riding) for
    my Speed Ross. Only snag is that bar-ends are purchased in pairs, so
    I've got one left over. It has taken some filing away of the mirror's
    spherical mount to get it to point in the right direction. Good job
    it's only soft plastic.
