So, I bought a Kolpin rearview mirror and am unimpressed. Getting in and out of ride, my helmet always hits it and knocks it out of adjustment, where it sits is not like in a car, you have to move your whole head to see it.
Looking to buy a set of side mirrors and see if they are any better. Anyone have a set they would recommend? ( bonus would be if when folded you maintain 50” clearance)

Wasted money on rear view in center, side ones that move if hit working fine, recommended by @trigger . Added round spot mirrors for backing up around trees.

I like the vertical mirrors, and was going to buy the Kolpin, but they redesigned them and the new ones have a weird diagonal line down the middle.

I ordered the chupacabra mirrors but had issues with the fit. Did you have to make any modifications?

Thanks for post Fellas, had the P5 since autumn of ‘14 and rear views have not been a priority, on the list just down a ways. There are times when I’m literally in alder brush well over the roof and pushing it over like a dozer, fact I’ve had the front end off the ground pushing thick alder brush over... Thinking side mirrors would get mashed off, so I’ve never really considered them. When folded in will they rotate inside the ROPS?
Thanks again.
