Nice idea.

I couldn't see the vids on my cell but wouldn't the sun now be blinding anywhere behind you?

he addresses that in the last vid above.

Got to my PC and was able to watch the vids. Really pretty cool. I'd try one if it isn't priced ridiculously. Not sure how well it would fit the C-14 especially with the windscreen moving up and down. I know I think the stock mirrors on mine suck between the grips taking up part of the screen and the bags blocking out another portion.

I found the site. By today's exchange rate, it was only $55. I was going to order one but it said out of stock :-\

If you get one I'd like to hear how well it works for you.

The $5 per pair convex stickies on the stock mirrors do the job just about as well, IMO. I put them on everything I drive.

I'd say more like $3.00. I took my last bike back to stock before trading it in, and couldn't stand not having my spot mirrors on the short ride to the dealer.
The last thing I wanna do is turn my head around while moving forward. ::)

Buy the wedge shaped ones for best results. Lane changes are a no brainer with spot mirrors.
As stated above, I put them on everything I pilot.
Including the riding mower. ;D

Great idea, I hope it catches on.
If anyone gets one for their C14, post up on the results.
-
I got an email from the company. They said they should be back in stock Tuesday or Wednesday. I didn't check on overseas shipping costs though.
I may look over my C-14 tonight to get an idea of mounting location and appearance.
I may also look into those little wedge spot mirrors today.

I went out just after they said they were in stock to get an idea of placement on my bike. With the shield in the down position it would cover up the dash display. I wouldn't want it up high enough to clear the dash. I guess I'll be looking for the little rectangular spot mirrors.
It would be just fine on my V-Strom but it hasn't seen but maybe 50 miles since I got my Connie.
