Bike Peddler Take A Look Cycling Eyeglass Mirror Helmet Adaptor Kit

Unlikely to work as advertised on large helmets. Having a large head there is no flat surface to mount this on near the front of my helmet. Thus the mirror is near the center line and I cannot see behind me. Take a look at how long the mirror mount is. Remember you want the mirror to be about 1 inch in front of your helmet. Have a flat place close enough? If not think about carefully drilling out places in the Styrofoam and glue the tabs in. Careful to leave enough room to remove the mirror if you want to ever replace it.

I purchased this item to allow me to move my Take A Look mirror off my glasses to a more secure mounting point on my helmet. I absolutely love the Take A Look mirror but I have very thin wire frame glasses that just did not provide a secure mount for the mirror. As others have pointed out this is just a simple piece of translucent plastic with two tabs that are supposed to attach to the foam on the inside of your helmet with included adhesive pads. The problem for me with this approach is that I could feel the plastic piece against the side of my forehead and due to the curve of the helmet foam the adhesive would tend to pull away from the foam on one of the tabs. I fixed this by carefully drilling out two very very thin slots in the foam just thick enough to allow a tight fit for the tabs with the adhesive pads removed. Once I was satisfied with the dry fit I removed the tabs from the slots and covered them with some 5 minute epoxy and pushed them back into the slots. The tabs are so thin that once they are epoxied back in the slots the integrity of the foam liner should not be compromised. A very small amount of foam is being removed here and the void in the foam is being filled by the mirror mount. Now my mirror mount is rock solid and sets about 1/4 inch out from the inside edge of the foam. This provides me a very stable rear view even over bumps. I just leave the mirror attached to the mount all the time, but it would be easy to remove and reattach over and over if you are so inclined. Once the mirror is removed you would barely notice the small portion of the plastic mount protuding below the surface of the helmet.

Device works as expected but the 3M strips don't hold very well. Due to the design of the helmet I need to have the holder stick below the edge of the helmet. As a result it get caught on other items in my car and is starting to peel away from the helmet.so far I can press it back to the h helmet but not sure for.how much longer that will work

It takes some getting used to. Would not ride without one anymore. I’m a bike commuter and sometimes it’s combat - you gotta know what’s coming up your six without turning your head around.

I wanted to love this. But it wouldn't hold the mirror in place any better than the original adhesive did. So I now have duct tape holding this in place which is holding the mirror in place.
