Tucson, AZ | I have the round ones you buy at the auto parts store. REALLY a big help. The mirrors on the Vision are not the best. |

Bonita Springs, FL | Get the standard set, the large ones are more square looking and would not look good. They are not pictured on the web site, but I have the catalog and you would not like them. |

O'Neill, Nebraska | If these are the large oval ones that sit on top of the stock mirrors....I'll pass. What about adding some fish eye mirrors? |

This is a great point. Too many times have I looked in my mirror, then turned my head and lo and behold there was a car there.  |

That sometimes work  but I've really taking to checking over the shoulder anytime I do a lane change. I'm quick on the throttle from the light and I actually had a jerk "racing" me. When I thought I was well ahead of the crowd, I checked to move over not expecting anyone and there he was.
This safety message is brought to you by VaRyder and the "Virginia is for Lovers" foundation....
I like those mirrors from autosports and may have to order them. I've been looking for similar ones from the auto stores and can't seem to find them.

I tried the small ones from the auto parts store b4 I put on the Reliant Spot mirrors. The little ones helped some but the new ones are great. Rode 150 miles w/ the S.O. & noone slipped into my blind spot becuz there isn't any blind spot w/ these mirrors. Luv 'em ! |

Those are $20 a piece by the way. But still worth it.
