This is weird but, went for a short ride today and noticed that me left side mirror was positioned is such a way that allowed me to see behind me and the left lane without the need to move my elbows. I kinda startled me at first and caused me to spend more time than normal looking at the traffic behind me - it was nice to see behind me when coming to a stop.

I park the bike in my garage in front of my daily vehicle that causes me to brush against the mirror as I past the bike - that and the cover I have, the mirror pockets are closer together than the Ninja mirrors so it also moves the mirrors when I slip it on. The combintation of the two placed my mirror in a way that totally changed the view - it made the left side totally functional - so the mirrors can work if you can find the "sweet" spot.
