Very good.

Or you can just use Riderscan mirrors

There's a considerable price difference and I've been told they distort the view too much for some people's liking.

I made my first one with the mirrors that had been lying around in my garage. Made a second one for my other bike as it worked so well.

Yes, I'm a cheapskate  :old:

I have Riderscan laying on my shelf. Used it for a month or so, just to find out it was completely useless. Very close objects, like my arm, my helmet, etc are very well displayed in Riderscan. But when you're talking about the vehicle behind the perpherial vision of your eyes, it becomes too small and destorted to get your attention. So, you have to do shoulder check anyway because you can't trust your Riderscan.
That said, I removed it as it was just hanging on my screen for nothing.
