I'm with you duTch. I've had a few near miss's merging left. And with only one eye it's even harder to judge distance. Flatties for me.

Yeah, Halcyon Mirrors are superb, I cannot recommend them highly enough . All stainless construction, and great image rendering. Mine has been on the bike for years, and still looks brand new. Whats more unlike some mirrors they do not vibrate loose. The fixings are very well engineered.

Look, with a convex mirror you get to see all of the recycling boxes, not just one!

and can't make my mind up which ones to fit 
820 Halcyon Bar End Mirror is what I have fitted. Which ever you decide to fit you have chosen well. Halcyon mirrors are extremely well made and will serve you well.
