You can secure this mirror with a zip tie also. Just punch a hole on each side up closer to the mirrors pivot point and feed a small zip tie through the holes and around the clamp.
I was initially thinking zip tie. Safety wire is more easily manipulative in case of on the go adjustment needs. Zip tie may get a better leverage. However, I suppose you then have to carry some zip extra zips and cutters but that's always a good one to have in the tool box when your riding. Nice video and great idea man. Thanks, this helped me find a very happy medium
D - A host of ways zip ties would work just fine I'm sure. I chose wire just because is small enough to sit down in grooves and you can get it really tight if you want. Very secure and out of the way. Wire is good for lots of stuff like that. I do a little twists on my brake cotter pins so stick etc.. don't poke them out of my brakes. Factory teams use safety wire all over to keep stuff from rattling out and falling off. It's actually a great little mirror and super cheap. Actually usable considering how small it is, because it doesn't really vibrate very much. Tons of adjustment, tuck it away, light weight and when it does get smashed in the rocks... you don't want to cry due to the price you paid 🤣
D I know there is a lot of stuff out there, but I've never seen anything less intrusive on the bars and function as well, especially for the value. It' practically disappears on the bars when riding. I've taken plenty of diggers and have yet to break one. Glad you like it. Enjoy 🤙✊
@@JohnHowerton137 haha all very valid points, just ordered a set. I suppose safety wire is a very valuable tool indeed to have in the truck. Hell, i regret not bringing the duct tape with me last trip! Going to go with this set up, super clean and tucked away to remain street legal.
D in the riding backpack... Baby Vice Grip, safety wire, JB Quick Steel. You can MacGyver about anything with that. Quick steel can repair anything from engine cases to levers and radiators. Baby Vice Grip works for most fasteners up to like maybe 15mm and is also a clamp to hold parts together you may be JBing together or whatever. Safety wire can hold on plastics, wrap up cables, stitch fenders back together... maybe even a "get you home slow" master link. All are light weight.
Check your local laws, but they’ve been on all my street legal enduros for years now. I rotate it forward and put big ones back on for DMV inspections just to avoid questions, but haven’t had any issues.
Maybe a local bicycle shop or Amazon in the description. Probably plenty of other online dealers. Only mirror I use now. Just too convenient and decent vision for the tiny size. On all 4 of my bikes. 3 I ride on the street daily.
Nope. It's small and not glass so it has "visual limitations" due to size, but outside of a huge fixed mirror... its basically the best. Nothing like those folding MSR type mirrors that are 100% useless.
Have you seen the crg mirror, about the same size but metal clamps that aren't supposed to move and I'm comparing these two on cost, the crg is 40 but is real glass so eont scratch when cleaning..
lsmaxxed these are a lot smaller than that. If you need really functional mirrors for the road, they are not that, but you can see with them. If you want a mirror that is functional but not in your way at all when off-road, this is you’re mirror.

Awesome vid! I was considering ordering these for my street bike, and your video convinced me! :) Take care!
For how small they are, they work pretty decent.
Very nice and discreet. I’ll give this a try on my WR400.
Super out of the way too. I've prob gone down 30 times since this video and still no issues (to the mirror 🤣).
Thanks for the tip. Off road with factory mirrors is just a pain. On road without is illegal.
Hello there! just have to ask if those are road legal? thank you!
Check your local laws, but they’ve been on all my street legal enduros for years now. I rotate it forward and put big ones back on for DMV inspections just to avoid questions, but haven’t had any issues.
@@JohnHowerton137 Thanks for the info! all love!
I love it...thanks JH!
Works good. Use one every day on my 690.
Great video just ordered some thanks 🙏
Works good. Use it every day. Just play around with the position. My fav at the moment is up top with the widest part horizontal with the bars.
Where do you buy these mirrors I'm in West Australia
Maybe a local bicycle shop or Amazon in the description. Probably plenty of other online dealers.
Only mirror I use now. Just too convenient and decent vision for the tiny size. On all 4 of my bikes. 3 I ride on the street daily.
@@JohnHowerton137 cheers 💯👍
Thanks!
Amazon saw your vid and increased the price $15. lol
LOL. WTF? Damn Bezos.
Cool mod!
Works super good. Only (consistently used) mirror I use on my 4 mirrored bikes for years now.
Sweet mirror!
does the mirror shake 0r get distorted with high speed?
Nope. It's small and not glass so it has "visual limitations" due to size, but outside of a huge fixed mirror... its basically the best. Nothing like those folding MSR type mirrors that are 100% useless.
Should be able to see one in a bunch of my 350 and 690 videos. I have them on 3 bikes.

Great tip! Love the New Intro. 👍
