I enjoyed the rear view mirror by Honda. As for side mirrors, I feel that depends in part on terrain you are traveling; that is, I was unable to use side mirrors because of tight trails, limbs, etc., and folding them in constantly wasn't really an option so I didn't add them to my unit. However, if I were riding in a more open area, then I would add side mirrors as well.

I've had this rear view mirror for a while:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07513F4B9?tag=sxsweb24-20

Sturdy, large but slimmer than some. Great view while not distorted. It did take just a little work with a hand file to get it to fit up on the p1000, but I would but it again. I really like it.

I just installed some D2 Moto side mirrors, but have yet to ride with them. They are just the standard plastic mirrors that Kolpin and about 100 other manufacturers make. On sale for 20 bucks I thought I would give them a shot.

I really like the looks of the round RM-ATV mirrors, but just don't use mirrors enough to spend 60 bucks on them.

Seizmik on my P500. I just emailed Seizmik and they were great to deal with. I explained to them that I could not find the right size to fit my rig, they explained that for my P500 I would need a bushing kit, which they sent to me at no charge including the freight. All of that and a lifetime warranty how could I go wrong

koplins on my 700, we ride 90% on super tight trails and trust me the mirrors get abused. I have only cracked one of them, but thats because it got squished between the ROPS and a tree.

I went with the Chupacabra mirrors. Used them for a year now. Holding up well and they are priced reasonable.

Side mirrors aren’t an option for me, I’d have them suckers tore off in the first mile where I ride. I like tight trails! I also see the 50” or less trails as a challenge!

We went with the Honda rear view. Solid mirror! No movement, and has good coverage. I also mounted it “upside down” so it didn’t hang down a foot into my view out the front haha.
