New Mirrors

jbfla · 03-16-2016, 10:46 PM

The stock mirrors are stylish, and fit well with the looks of the RX3.

However, they leave a lot to be desired if a wide rear view is desired.

The picture of Detours RX3 reminded me that I have the same mirrors on my DR650.

Since I ride mostly pavement, and I ride the RX3 at conservative speeds, it's important not to be surprised by something unexpected sneaking up from behind.

And I think they look pretty good on the RX3.

I have the same mirrors. I've put them on both of my KLRs. They are only $14

The thicker stocks help keep the mirror vibrations down, but also filling your handle bars with silicone, or lead shot help way more. I've got a cool little mod, that I'll show everybody the before and after on my YouTube channel, that you can do to these mirrors.

That's a great price, Eco.

The ones I bought were about double that.

They look to be the same as the Ken Sean mirrors.

Well, if you want the Ken Sean brand, they are also made in Taiwan, just like the Emigos. To me they are they same mirror, same manufacturer. But $12 each side

Yes, I agree.

They are most likely made in the same factory, just packaged under a different name, and with a bigger profit margin...

I have a set of similar mirrors, mine are from Honda NX4 "Falcon", my main issue with the stock mirros was the cut out in the lower external corner, right where the traffics that's about to cut me is...
