I need a pair of descent mirrors for my 2008 vector...handlebar mounted only! Not drilling holes for mirrors. Wife keeping up isn't that important. I found poo ones online cheap #2877222 are these ok? I don't want to use Polaris parts as they may negatively influence my sled but hey if they work why not?

I just purchased a used set off of Hibsman from the classifieds, could check to see if he has anymore?

These are Yamaha ones and they look goofy imo but they do the trick.
(sorry, no better pics of them currently)

X2 search around for some used Yamaha mirrors like Irv suggested.
 
The Yamaha ones are good, but I found that they did not extend out far enough to see around my shoulders. I've read comments here on this forum where riders have found the same issue.

I believe both the Polaris and Skidoo handlebar mirror setups have longer stems, which likely will allow you see more around you.
 
Buy the Yamaha mirrors and bend them a little more. That widens the mirrors and drops the goofy bug antennae look. I think I paid $38 for two mirrors and brackets.

I noticed that too, had to move slightly to the left or right in order to see my son behind me on the straightaways.

I do like those Arctic Cat ones some peeps are adding to their windshields, those not only look better but I assume the would be easier to see out of as well?

The AC ones I have mounted on my windshield are pretty decent, but I still have to move my body a bit to see around me, but they do look almost stock.
 
anyone have part #'s and or websites to find this stuff? I've searched and searched and only found the ones I listed and the $38 Yamaha ones are like impossible to get unless you're in Canada, I can't find them online even!!!
 
Anyone try them little mirrors that mount inside the bars? This has OEM bar hooks but if they are hollow inside this should work fine, right?
 
OMG I have to move a bit to see out of my mirrors!!! LOL guys

guess you might want to install a backup camera and monitor... Extra bonus if you hook up your GPS and netflix
 
don't laugh my buddy tried it.....can't see a f......n thing but, SURE LOOKED GOOD ON PAPER THOUGH
