 Is there an Accessory Left Mirror Extension for Passenger use?
I have 2022 RT Limited. My passenger was used to a GoldWing and on it she could look into the left mirror to see what was behind the bike and warn the driver when someone was passing. She cannot see behind us on this bike. Has anyone found a mirror that can be easily attached to the existing mirror that will give the passenger the ability to help the driver? I did order the fasten-on convex mirror, but it probably will not be enough? The mirror set fairly low on the Spyder so I have to look down and take my attention off the road.
Follow up: I found an effective convex mirrow that sticks on the band over the left mirror and greatly increases my vision behind me and my handlebars do not block the view. The passenger can also see what is coming up behind.

The way we do it in Minnesota, we have the driver look in the mirror to see if someone is passing because we sometimes ride without a passenger. I don't much care for anyone passing me when I'm driving, but in Arizona it probably happens now & then. Good luck on that special mirror your looking for! Bill

I put these on the upper outside edges of my mirrors and they seem to work pretty good. Would also recommend the mirror lock things to reduce the mirror vibration.

The peel and stick wide-vu convex mirrors are great. They Look stock don't distort much and provide a nice wider view. I got mine at SlingMods https://www.slingmods.com/can-am-spy...9%20%28Pair%29

Nothing personal, but there is no way I would be relying on someone else to tell me what is happening behind or alongside me. If I haven’t got a mirror setup that allows me a clear rear/side view, and/or can’t turn my head enough to check, I won’t be riding, for both others, and our own, safety.

Have you considered a bar end mirror on the left side like those on the Ryker?
Just a random idea.
