Looks like you're trying to find something fat on the inside and skinny on the outside like mine... (this is before I put my apes on) :-DD.

But know that ANY mirror will vibrate a little on a motorcycle... you can't avoid that. :-DD.

Re:Mirrors 2 Years, 3 Months ago
Mine don't vibrate much at all but they are TINY and I like them that way. I do use blue Loctite on them (and everything else too). I look in them and then always turn and look back anyway when changing lanes. Mostly use them to spot the ChiPs. I have Ness Rad II's. You can see how small here: http://picasaweb.google.com/takehikes/BlackCherry#5292009527903099970
