"Take A Look" Bike Peddler Mirror: Does anyone know if you can only wear these mirrors on one side?

The three rubber-covered posts are indeed curved for left-side mounting. But they can be bent to curve the other way. I have just done so, and the mirror is now solidly adhered to the right side of my riding glasses.

there should be no blind spot looking forward. The mirror is very much to the side, only a few inches from the left eye (assuming North America). It's not like a car's review view mirror, as it is actually too close to focus on the mirror itself, but the image behind is very clear. I wouldn't ride without it. FYI, if you have a conventional bike helmet with the usual glossy plastic surface, the adhesive won't usually hold unless the place you put it is flat (which never happens in my experience). I have used 60 second epoxy, roughing up the helmet shell and bracket surface a bit for adhesion, and this works great. Also, I commonly have to trim the bracket, with scissors, to fit and look the best. there should be no blind spot looking forward.

Yeppers... Just make sure you read the instructions because you have to tuck in the ends by the side view mirrors on the front. They are easy to put on just follow the directions.

Yes. Mirrors best about halfway up rails so don't interfere with side panels.

They are adjustable and mount to either side of the bike depending on how you want the mirrors to sit. They do vibrate a little more than I'd hoped they would, but otherwise they're great.

Just looked at my grips, I don't think you can add bar end mirrors. The extension part of the grip fits tightly over the bar and there is a screw to secure it. Be careful not to over tighten this screw, I have broken it in the past. This is my second set of grips in this style. You may be able to put the mirrors on if you are creative, but I don't think so

I believe they are. It doesn't really matter since once they are installed they can't be seen. One side is threaded in to the mirror base, and the other is driven in to the handlebar system.

No, you have to order mirrors for both sides. One for the passenger side and one for the driver side. If you are hauling a trailer you can extend the mirrors so you can see beyond the sides of the trailer. I tow a 22' camper and they work great.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but I have never seen, owned, or even heard of a pair of solid handlebars. Regardless, my answer to your question is yes, you can and will be able to use bar end mirrors with this handlebar.

Correct---one side is a normal mirror. It's holding up well and I'm still loving it.

the way you first mount them makes them left or right or you can change it. they can be mounted either top or bottom of mirrors

I have not tried to remove the mirror as I find it invaluable when riding in traffic or on bike trips when I am trying to keep track of my fellow bikers who are behind me. The mirror can be swung out of the way when you don't want to use it. Also it can swing it inside the helmet for safe, compact packing.

If you tilt it in a different direction, you can see your back. My objection to these mirrors is that the screw to tighten them wears out too quickly

I would not do that! You will impair your vision path to your side mirror and also impair you visual to the left.

Yes. One side is a regular mirror the other is 15x. Handy little thing for traveling!

Both outside mirrors open from the outside unfortunately. The middle mirror opens from either side depending on orientation.

This mirror is completely reversible. At least the compact model is - can someone check the "original" to see if the pivot hole in the mirror is drilled all the way through? At any rate, on the compact model, gently work the mirror off the stainless pivot rod, flip the mirror and reinsert the pivot rod on the opposite side of the mirror. If you find the mount also needs to be reversed, one gentle bend at the middle prong, and, voila! You're holding, pardon the expression, a mirror image of the original mirror, perfectly suitable for right-side mounting.
