==Bar-end mirrors==

These mirrors will give you more visibility to the rear. The main ~~advantage~~ to bar-end mirrors is that you do not need to move ~~your body or your head~~ to ~~glance at~~ them, and even with flat glass they give an unobstructed view of what is behind and to the side of you. Another advantage is that you can turn your bars while you're stopped and get a better view of what's coming up from behind.

There are different kinds of bar-end mirrors. Some replace the stock bar ends, some are designed to fit around bar ends, and some bolt through the bar ends into the bars. Try to get a mirror that will preserve your bar-ends, as they are there to reduce handlebar vibration.
