Perhaps. I Googled Heathkit and the pics didn't ring a bell; but that was all 52 years ago. At any rate, it was good enough to pick up "Good Morning Mr Walker" and doubtless other local favorites but, odd, I don't remember any of the others. On Sun, Nov 1, 2020 at 6:17 PM 'John Hawrylak' via RBW

Keep using the German mirror. Not sure if you’ve done the following, but make the mirror loose enough to twist on the bar. This helps allow for more hand placement as you can push/pull out of the way. Interactive like. On Saturday, October 31, 2020 at 8:39:09 PM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!

I've been using CycleAware reflex helmet mirrors for many years. The mirror arm has a swivelling ball attachment to the mount that sticks to the side of the helmet, and can be quickly removed with a knife or flat screwdriver blade for transport.
