I dont know about the mirrors you have listed but I bought some of these for my Attack.

A little spendy but these things are quality with a capitol Q. They fold out the way if needed, have an excellent glass lens and are CNC machined. Everything on them is available seperately if you have a problem. What I really like is they dont stand out like the ones you listed. Only thing I didnt like was that I had to trim some of the end of the handle grips to fit thim bit it was only 3/8".
 
Have a set on both my sleds. They are the best I think Yamaha had made yet, but the bracket is a little on the light side. Had one break where the bolt for the bracket bolts on. It is a little thin there. but I still would recommend them. Just be careful with them.

They look sharp but yes maybe a little weak in the bracket, i guess that a stock cover will not fit over them?

I think the left ones goes to the right and the right one to the left....J/K :jump:

maybe a little pricey
:flag:
 
Thank you for the imput, I think they would be better because they are a little further out on the bars. No more shifting around to see out of the mirrors I currently have.
 
I put these on my apex xtx they give you a good field of vision, I bring small metric wrench with and loosen the arms and spin them to the center of the sled to fit under my cover.
 
I'm not sure, they look like they would stick out too far and get caught in branches etc.
I like the ones I have now.

They work great on my Attak GT but I have an after maket cover with expandable windshield panel so just pull over mirrors. Going to be difficult with stock Yam cover.
 
Can someone post a picture of thier sled with these mirrors installed? Thanks
 
I went with Doubletake mirrors and am very happy with the results. It looks like the website states they are only for cycles but the Ram mount with fit a sled perfect and they fold down out of the way in seconds. They seem to be very strong!!

I have the winshield mount ones on My Apex. Don't worry about a tree taking them off. They fit under the cover don't look like bug attenae like the ones on my warrior, But I kind of liked the Bug look.
 
I made my own Doubletake mirror by sticking a RAM base to the back of a cheap 3" mirror. Works great. I like the fact I can fold it when covering the sled.

I have tried different mirror set-ups, and I always go back to the wrist mirror, $ 6.00 and it works.....LOL
