Ok the **** mirrors are the Polaris Mirrors. I have the Polaris Mirrors (box that is) and the mirror is marked ****. **** had changed the mounting ends from plastic to metal. Not sure what this looks like since I called them today and they are sending the new mounting ends out. Second thing I am looking at is changing the fasteners out with something more stronger. I am going to a fastener supply shop Friday and see what they have. Then I will compare the new **** mounting hardware with the ones I get on Friday. The mirrors will not move once I finished with them.</end quote></div>

if your able, put some pics of them on.

 

I have used one mirror from a Street bike they work great. Nice to see whats behind you at a glance. The clamp on between the grip and switches, I just pulled the gip out enough for the clamp to fit.

 

I posted 4 pics in photobucket of the Bell Safety bike mirrors.

they look pretty small. about 3" ? also it looks like they are pretty close to the outside of the fender and could get broke off from going thru heavy brush which we do alot. thanks for the pics.

 

Yes, about 3 " dia. The trees are no problem as the arm is flexible and swings out of the way.

 

Stendori, I have the Polaris brand. Its really good. To avoid the trail problem I mounted mine
on top of the handlebar assy. that mounts also the winch rocker switch. I added a 1 inch (1/4)
black bushing and a 1/4 (3" I think) lag machine screw w/nut. Its not the most prestigious way
but works, its tight and serves well. Check out my gallery pics # 11 and 15.

Mongrol, I had those same mirrors. Though I did not mount to the same place as you
did, my handlbars for me. I found it quite cumbersome as its twisty characteristic never
stayed still, constantly adjusting, finally when twisting back, the dumb thing (arm) just snapped.
Mine also did not really give a good rear view mirror reflection as good as mine (Polaris
brand) now. - Just my story...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The mirrors are just to make sure the "old fart" that I ride with hasn't dozed off and fallen off his bike.

Bug eyes
