Do they make any kind of mirror you can attach to your helmet give you rear view? It wouldn't be that difficult to do if it doesn't exist.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Anyone ever use these?

Because side view mirrors are so 2001.

I bought a pair years ago but they were very difficult to get a good place to situate them on my Simpson RX7 so's I could get a good view.

Maybe one day I'll dig 'em out and try 'em again.

I just got a pair a couple days ago. I may break them out this weekend. I can't see a damn thing with the stock mirrors vibrating so badly. May look a little odd, but I plan to take off my mirrors if they work. That might offset the slightly different look of the bugeyes. Also, if I can see clearly without turning my head, if will be well worth it.

I have the "Bugeyes" that stick on your helmet. The stock mirrors in my XB9SL are only there to satisfy a state requirement. Mine are virtually non functional do to frequency vibration.

The "Bugeyes" are easy to apply with supplied double-stick tape (extras are included). The Bugeyes' performance is pretty good. The rearview picture is crystal clear. Maybe it's just me but I am taking alittle while to get used to setting the proper angles for the best rearview picture. My helmet is a flip-front by Jarrow with the Bugeyes mounted on the lower jaw flip front but I might try to relocate them onto my visor. My Joe Rocket Revolution shoulder pad blockes my vision somewhat causing me to tilt my helmet up in front to get a clear view.

The Bugeyes were reasonably priced. After having used the Bugeyes for about 5 months I still think I will add Barend mirrors later and still keep the Bugeyes.

Whoa! That rear view helmet is simply amazing.
I really hope it works, I'd love to try one out someday.

I've been using the bugeyes for about 1.5-2 years now. They work great. You can really see what is behind you. As you turn your head you can visually "sweep" the lanes next to you so there is no blind spot. Pretty cool.
