I have the first one on my bike, it works pretty good.

The second design looks like it would slip easily.

I used these with the clubman bars on my Enfield.

I'll see if I can track down an on-bike pic when I get home.

The second example looks similar to what I have on my bike. I like them fine but the small diameter reduces visibility.

Yeah the second ones work fine.  I think the Amazon mirrors are the same.  I have two pairs of these, one on my CB550F and another on my KZ1000.  They work great.
