Question Saeng Quick Scan-Pros: Would that help with replacing the stock mirrors?

I did a search on mirrors and I wasn't satified with the bar-end mirrors or GS mirrors mounted on the handlebar. I wanted mirrors to be mounted on my windscreen for better visibility.

Then I came across this: http://www.saeng.com/2618.htm

I have done search on this and nothing came up. I am wondering if anyone have used these products on their bike? What was your impression of them and does it cause the windscreen to vibrate?

Seems to me you'd be putting the mirrors too far in and all you'd see is your elbows, especially if you mounted them low enough to keep the vibration and strain on the plastic down.

Yeah that would be my thoughts as well. Back to the drawing board...

Never tried the mirrors but Saeng customer service is terrible. I had to call my credit card company to be reimbursed for a product I returned. They wouldn't even give me a call back. Never again.
