    I use the Vheelocity ones. The base has a 3M double sided tape and the blind spot mirrors are adjustable. The angle doesn't change due to vibrations at high speeds or bumps. Serving me well, as of now.

    Just make sure before installing the base, clean the mirror with a soft cloth with cleansing solution and let it dry overnight and stick the base in the morning. The blind spot mirrors are also plug and play. You can detach it and attach it whenever you want to.

      Thanks ..dont know why my mobile browser sometime delete post when i try to edit on its own .
      Anyways currently i am planning to cut that swivel part and stick again using double side tape but will try the vheelocity one if the task is cumbersome.
      Does these mirror vibrates due to adjuster in between as mine vibrates some time although main mirrors remains stable.

          No, they do not vibrate, at least for me. They are very stable at triple digit speeds too. They do not lose their positioning.

            Circular ones are always better, these are convex lenses, which aid in pretty good FOV. Those fancy adjustable are a hit and miss, some last long, some give way soon like it happened to you. Circular ones are reliable, stick like leeches if properly stuck to the mirror.

            Cheers!

            And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

              Thanks..added some white cotton tape around swivel joint and some what it is fine as of now..if there is any problem i will keep your advice in mind..
              Also changed spark plug to iridium one and there is a noticible increase of smoothness and reduction of jerkiness in lower gear.....old spark plug was 1 month and around 400 km old.

                Indeed. As you've pointed out, the cold starting and rough idle is very much reduced and the bike starts a lot faster and low rpm stutter is very much reduced. The other important aspect is these plugs have a life of over 35+k kms. All Iridum plugs have 2x higher life than the conventional counterparts.

                        I'd suggest you go for RAM Mounts as your mobile holder as that is the best world class mount. Get a one compatible to your bike. Also, phone charger will be specific to the phone you use, you can get the one which is compatible with your phone.

                        Here are a couple of links for mounts -

                        https://mountsindia.net.in/ --> These guys are one of the official resellers in India.

                        These mounts are available on Amazon India too. Link --> https://www.amazon.in/Ram-U-Bolt-Mou.../dp/B006X387ZS

                        Hope this helps

                            No idea on any specific brands. I think you can use any cable for that matter.

                              Facing a weird problem. Inspite of always filling tankfuls, my fuel tank meter's top bar is not showing since the last 6 tankfuls. Anybody faced a similar situation? Even if I take it to svc, how much fuel should be inside tank?

                                you might want to take the fuel pump out and clean the contacts where the float slides/makes contact. over time this part could malfunction due to the fuel deposits and wear.
                                or maybe on an almost empty tank, try to squirt some electronic contact cleaner spray on that area.
