I put a set of handguards on My Apex and then used the Nytro handguard mounted mirrors. They are the best mirror setup yet for the Apex.

Is it a complete kit? Got any part numbers? Handguards and mirrors? Any problems installing them on an Apex?

I don't have pics right now but all you have to do is look at the Nytro pics with the mirrors. Its the same setup. The easiest thing to do is put the Nytro stock handguards on and all you do is bolt the mirrors on. I put a set of the black handguards part no: SMA-8GFHG-00-BK and installed the mirror set part no: 8GL-W2628-OO-OO. With these handguards you have to remove the screws holding the plastic guards and drill out the holes a little bigger so the mirror screws will fit and then just put them back together with the mirrors attached.

yammi has some new handlebar mount ones. You buy the brackets & mirrors to install on the handle bar. They remind me of a touring style design. Will try tehm when my sled comes in. hoping that will be in next week.

This is what I did with my Apex http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=18369
The mirrors are good enough to see a headlight behind you but that's about it. Probably all that most need anyway.

I have a taller windshield then the stock one on my Attak. Will these guards clear a taller one?

Do you think they'll clear the slightly taller windshield on the Attak?

Probably not, the hand guards contacted the low windshield.CaptCaper said:SledderSteve said:This is what I did with my Apex http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=18369

Personally, I would look into the FX Nytro mirror kit listed by jds1000, part no: 8GL-W2628-OO-OO, as shown on page 27 of the 08 Yamaha Snowmobile Accessories & Apparel catalog.

Did they clear the mid-height 07 windshields?
The handguards for the Apex and Nytro look the same on the Yami website...

How do they mount?
Do the Nytro handguards mounts have 10mm threads tapped into them?
I'm using the same mirrors on my 07 RTX (at least they look the same - mine are normally for an 07 Phazer), but I removed the hard guards and used universal aftermarket mirror mounts for a Yamaha bike.
I heard that Yamaha was going to offer mirror mounts similar to what I used this season so the Phazer mirrors could be used an any Yamaha (using only Yamaha parts). I haven't been able to confirm if this became a reality or not though.

I hope so as this all gets confusing..I have the taller Attak Windshield and I'm afraid the handguards won't clear.
I might have to do what you did
