In the ols school dazes some guys would tape small mirriors to their shoes to get a peek... maybe she could start a new fashion craze. Or you could mount it right next to the passenger ejection lever
have you mentioned that she could sit on the bike backwards? i can imagine it'd be very boring in short order to be looking at the back of someones helmet all the time.
The wife wants to see what's behind us on the Ultra. Is there an easy way to add another mirror? If I add the fairing mount mirrors and keep the stock mirrors, can they be used by the passenger?
OK, at first I thought you were just messing with us.....Right?.. So then I see you get some Just Messin with us type of replies from the crew... Then I see.....(below)

So I see this was a real serious question from you.. So in the spirit of the Forum and trying to help a fellow rider.....
I hit the road this morning....set the cruise control at 65mph dropped the passenger footboards and slid back onto the pillion. The mirrors needed a minor adjustment up, then I could see behind me just fine. I rode about 15 miles like that, till I came to some sweepers and damn near fell off leaning that far out trying to steer through them...
So I guess your Idea about a his and hers set of mirrors will work just fine.
I don't think its crazy at all. A little help watching for a rear-ender approaching when stopped might be a welcome thing. Nothing wrong with the OL partipating and having a job to do back there. That isn't back seat driving in my book. If its done right its teamwork.

Ever since a Very Very close call with a 1500 lbs Black Cow on a night ride a few years ago...My wife helps watch AHEAD for critters and such. We also have alot of deer and feral hogs in our area.
(Yes I palpated her on the way by.....)
Just saying....
