He's not putting them on to look cool.He is putting them on to save his
ass!There is always a trade off.If he can't get out of the way the bus would

Paul I think he already has those Elephant ear mirrors. I think the issue with the wobblies is not the arm, but how the mirror attaches to the arm. I know on mine I have a ball on the back of the mirror that fits into a clamp. A lot of the mirrors now-a-days are crap. The best ones that I have heard of are the Flat 4 stainless steel ones. I tried to look for these when I was in the market for mirrors but could not find them... There has got to be somebody on the Samba that has some of those Flat 4 mirrors!
