"Why not try a bar end mirror? It mounts at the butt end of the grip. http://www.bikeworldusa.com/product_...roducts_id/852"
I would like to and thanks for the suggestion KilroyCD. Problem is with the ape hanger bars I've got, the ends point back instead of out. There is not enough mirror adjustment to compensate. I just tried a helmet mount...hated it. Back it goes. May try a conventional mirror mounted on the upright portion of the bar and try to angle it appropriately. I'll just take the bike into the bike shop this time and let them see what will work. That should be interesting! Although I've done business with this shop for a few years and they've always been super with me.
"NUTTSY! Yoy need to be careful gas will eat through alot of plastics and if you have a frame mount it can cause a fire if it leaks onto something hot, at a minimum you might ruin your paint job."
Thanks for the heads up Darwin. I checked the bottle and it's the same as my gas cans. HDPE #2. Will definately keep a close eye on it though. Jeez, I love the way folks look out for each other here! Very comforting and reassuring.
