I finally got the Seizmik mirrors installed after two attempts to get them from Amazon. I got them from powersports.com

Summary: I like them.

Pro's:
1. Super easy to install. Did not have to do anything with the windshield. It has a clamshell wraparound on the bar.
2. Wide angle of adjust with angled OPS bars
3. A convex mirror that is not overly distorted so very good view to rear
4. Easy folding - breakaway feature. The friction to rotate can be adjusted
5. They work -- much better for backing up than a center rear view if in tight areas
6. Compact design so they do not stick out very far on each side
7. No noticeable vibration when riding on trails

Cons
1. Rubber spacers to protect OPS and reduce vibration have to be held while installing - minor
2. With spacers, there is a slight bowing of windshield. I think thinner spacer would be ok

Unknown
1. Construction - plastic housing,

Those look nice. Is the clamp around the ROPS bar steel or plastic?

Metal.

They really look great. And they will allow you see everything behind you. My only concern would be going from our mountain place in PA to the nearest watering hole, WALLAT's, that those mirrors might make it on the way there, but have no chance of remaining intact on the way back. Narrow trails would present a problem. Be careful and let us know your experiences.

I have some tight spots (like two large trees) but nothing has really hit them yet in several trips. They do make a difference turning around at dead ends.
