Subject: Helmeit mirror design
I would like to pass on an idea for a mirror that has works good for me. I
ride a SWB, USS so I had to get the mirror higher.

Bend a coat hanger two right angles and attach a plastic frame convex stick
on mirror (sold at Grand Auto for you car sun visor) Attach the other end to
your helmet visor, I used wire ties and glue. Cheep and works great. See my

A used stainless steel spoke is better than a piece of coat hanger,
since the AISI 303/304 stainless steels typically used for higher
quality spokes are quite corrosion resistant.

Oh yes, I forgot to memtsion: Use some small sheet metal screw to attach
the visor to the helmet. Valcro will not cut it with the mirror! Kengee
