Third EyeBar End Mirror(Return to Product Page)

I purchased this mirror as an upgrade from an older bar end mirror. The method of mounting makes it very secure and the adjustable tighten allows it to stay where it is aimed. This is a must if you're riding in traffic.

This mirror gives a great view of what's behind you. I regularly ride on the shoulder of two-lane highways and in my mid-60's I've lost some comfort level when looking back, so I bought this mirror. I do wish it fastened more securely. I check it before every ride. 200+ miles though and no problems.

Don't let the price for you this is a top quality glass mirror that is easy to install keeps it's setting and can be adjusted at just the right angle for you to see behind you without having to lift your head

have installed a pair on my Norton Commando motorcycle.

Matching mirror on the ol' Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. Great functionality. Logical design.

It is a flat mirror, the addition of a little convex would be nice. I had to replace the aluminum button nut since i went down it snapped it. But the mirror was still ok. The only thing about the mirror is that it does reqire fairly often readjustment but from reviews i see that all of the ones that mount in this way do.

I purchased two of these to replace one that was damaged when my bike fell over.

This mirror becomes a necessity because without it I found myself continually looking for it on my bar end. Now I have a spare.

This mirror was easy to install and easy to use. Mounted it on my Trek Silque road bike and it allows me a quick glance at traffic coming up behind me. Would definitely recommend this product

My last one of these mirrors had the glass portion fall out. This is a good mirror for the handlebars, but the vision is always limited by where it is aimed. I found that I much prefer a helmet or glasses mounted mirror.

Works great but be careful not to drop you bike as it is real glass

Great product for the money.

Flawless. Great for day or night use. Bike dropped and support arm broke, my fault. I like 3rd Eye Barend Mirror

There are many bar end mirrors out there, and I have tried several for my road bikes, this one works best for me, durable, no probe to scratching, I use some tire patch cement to give a better grip, this gives me the rear view I need to see problems behind me

I found the method of attaching the mirror to the bars to be awkward and, in one case, impossible. To fit the mirror one must choose between two plugs. Shims are provided to help with fitment, but fitting the mirror depends upon rotating the mirror at the bar end to expand the plug to fit. I was able to fit one bike, but even with shims, I could not fit another of my bikes. There are mirrors available the tighten to the bar with a screw type arrangement , and I found those much better. Once installed, the mirror is fine, but I found that two sizes do not fit all. I ended up buying another brand and have those on all of my bikes because they fit without hassle, and are easier to adjust. The Third Eye mirror just isn't as good.

I've purchased and installed several Third Eye Bar End Mirrors in the past, but these were installed on a tadpole trike and not intended to be used in the bar ends. I added a small piece of angle aluminum to each fender mount on the tadpole, took the mirror base apart and removed the bar end pieces, replaced the bolt with a shorter one with a Nylock nut, and attached the adjustable mirror head to the angle aluminum so that the mirrors are mounted directly over the front fenders. Worked out great. The mirrors look good and are out of the way. And of course they provide excellent rear vision which is really needed on a tadpole trike because it's very difficult to turn and look back in the form fitting seat.

A really good mirror. Takes a bit of getting used to avoiding my left leg when off the bike walking or whatever.

Good view when riding.

Downside: Very poor screwhead on the pivot bolt. Easy to damage, soft metal, shallow slot.

Suggestion: I wanted to make it more secure, but not permanent. I disassembled the pivot, put rubber cement on the faces, reassembled, adjusted, let it dry. Hasn't moved since even when bumped. And if I need to change it, the rubber cement will give.

I placed the mirror on the left bar end of my drop bars. The pack offers two sizes of rubber plug that fit inside the bar. These are contracted and thereby tightened with a screw that attaches the mirror assembly. The large plug was too big and the small was too small for my bike, a Marin with what looks like a standard bar to me. Eventually, I banged the big plug in most of the way with a mallet and was able to tighten it down. It's been very secure. The mirror optics are fine and it stays steady once positioned. It's a small mirror, so If I shift my position significantly I have to adjust the mirror. That's reasonably easy to do while riding.

Used a lot of mirrors over 45 years of riding and eventually stopped because I couldn't find a good one. After get rear-ended for the 1st time in 90K miles, I tried again and settled on the 3rd Eye, and I couldn't be happier. Really gives me a good stable view w/o being in the way. Sorry I never tried it before.

I was most impressed with how little this mirror vibrates while riding. I'm not an engineer, but I think that's because there's almost no stem. Screwed tightly into handlebars, just like they said. Mine came with three different sized rubber expander sleeves, but not a lot of instructions, so it took a little experimenting to get it right.

This mirror gives a good rear view. It may take a little adjusting initially to get the rotation angle right in your bar end. Once installed it will pivot on the knuckle during a ride even if you tighten the screw pretty hard. If you're checking your mirror often it's usually just a small adjustment.

It never occurred to me to have a mirror before I started riding to work 2-3 a week. Now, I can't see how I ever got by without it. I just adjust it however slightly is necessary to get a good rearside view. This allows me to know when vehicles are coming up from behind, but the real difference I've found is when I've got to execute left turns or merge to a left turn lane. One little awkward bit is that when I'm in the drops, the mirror is in the way of my wrist. But that is a minor inconvenience when compared to the overall benefits of having a clear view of what's behind at all times without craning my head around and losing visibility of what's ahead at the same time.
