    Default First ride yesterday since April

    Experienced a retina detachment in the right eye, two times in three weeks, so I've been unable to do any riding due to that. Next was having the eyelid worked on that was damaged on the 2014 accident. Vision in the right eye will never be 100% again, so I'm looking to add some additional mirrors to compensate somewhat and make the wife feel a bit more safe riding. Anyone have suggestions? I've found some rather large convex mirrors on the 'net, but haven't determined a really good way to mount them that offers good rear visibility, yet won't damage Scarlet.

    I can't help with mirror suggestions, but I can tell you congratulations on being able to ride again.

    on your first ride back. Sorry, I have nothing to offer on the mirrors for a Goldwing.

    Hopefully you are wearing goggles or a full face shield.

    could you rig a rear facing camera that would be easier to view with a display right in front of you?

    The only place I found to mount m convex mirror was a smallish 3 inch mirror in the lower right hand corner of the mirror. It mainly just lets me see the fenders. Doesnt really help with rear or side vision in my case.

    This may sound silly but how about mount mirrors on your helmet like bicycles do

    Congrats on your ability to ride again ... as for the mirror issue, I would consult a glass shop and see if they can custom make a dot approved mirror of you ... You could double sided tape it to the current one, like those spot mirrors.

    I've put these on every bike I've ever owned. Might not be great for you ... but I've had glass shops make mirror before when I needed a size I couldn't get. It's just tempered glass with silver backing.

    I too attach the 2" round ones to lower outside corners of oem bike mirrors. Don't give me details, but do let me know something is there, then I can do a head check if need more.
