Helmet mirror or handlebar mirror?

I've had several people ask where I got my mirror. It's made by a gentleman in Ohio who's name is Chuck Harris.

This is from the paperwork that came with my mirror...

Continuously manufactured since 1970 by Chuck Harris. A Green product.

They are available in 1/4 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch, and 1 1/2 inch. You can get them for helmets or glasses.

He does make custom mirrors.

I got a "Third Eye" helmet mirror. I really like it! Takes a day to get used to it being there, then you don't really notice it unless you are checking it. As a new rider, I have a hard time looking all the way behind me long enough to get a really good look without starting to wobble. Now I can check my mirror first and get a pretty accurate wide scan, then take a quick last look over my shoulder to make double sure (as in driving a car, I would NEVER depend soley on a mirror when turning or changing lanes). Also, like with a car rear view mirror, I tend to check automatically more often while just riding along now, and that keeps me knowing what's generally around me even if I'm not planning to turn, and when I normally wouldn't be looking over my shoulder. I am learning to move my head just slightly to quickly scan around behind me with my mirror.
