seems like a clever design, suprised it hasn't taken off

I think it's one of those things where it's a nice idea but possibly flawed in execution or an answer to a problem that doesn't really exist

a) the inclusion of more "fragmentable" material within striking distance of your eyes
b) the "lense corridor" from rear view to viewing glass takes up valuable "cushioning" or padding space to save the brain getting hurt
c) your view will vary according to whatever angle your head is set at, meaning you will have to alter your view ahead to look behind Trail bike riders would have a good view of their pillion seats, whereas sports bike riders would have a good view of the sky

isn't that what mirrors are for?

Tried one of those at the motorcycle show a couple of years ago thought it had died a death and disappeared

its probably a good idea but bikers area funny bunch and it probably won't take off as all change is BAD BAD BAD as we know....

Every one of those should come with a free topless pillion babe

It's not actually made from glass, but polished plastic & as a result gives a less than sharp image...apparently.

Nice idea like you say, i wouldn't buy one.. it might start more bad habits, ontop of all my other bad habits.

sounds like a damn good idea to help overcome the blind spot

interesting video !

I like the idea alot actually, think its a really good design.

The only thing that puts me off is that fact that it could deduct from the saftey-ness of the helmet....but i guess you gotta weigh that up with how much it would reduce the chance of an accident !

Other than for police spotting and reversing your bike I really don't see the point. If something is going to go into the back of you then you're either not going fast enough or are at a stop at which point you're not going to stop it going into the back of you anyway. Personally I'll just use my mirrors.

Maybe one should come free with every woman's car...

When i tried it i thought it was a good idea as most sports bike mirrors are a total waste of time
