I tried these. PowerMadd Didn't work like I had hoped. The mirrors are small and hard to see out of, the first time I got sucked into a jeep rut and bumped the side wall they broke. The hand guards are great, just not the mirrors. So now I just turn my head like before. Wasted my money to find out so I hope you find a better set up.

My Wife has the Kolpin hand guards with the mirror's on them and likes em. The mirror's are small but she don't care WHO is close behind her, She just wants to know that some one is close behind her. I have the stock Polaris ones on my X-2 and I like hers better. They are build stronger.
You got to go here then to Product Search and type in hand guards.

I always use one. I will not use one that sticks out the handlebar end because I would rip it off in less than ¼ of a ride. Simple solution, go to a dirt-bike store they have mounts that are split aluminum mounts that mount on the handlebar and accepts a standard stud type mirror. I think the standard mirror is a 10mm thread and you can buy them from any motorcycle or off-road bike store. Best thing is you can buy anything from a $10 mirror to a $150 custom billet mirror.

The mounts come in colors primarily black or silver and different angles.

I can’t find the mounts at a US online store but here is an idea of what they have a moto-cross shops

We use one mirror on the left side. It's mounted so that it doesn't stick out beyond the handle bars (will get ripped off by limbs if you have it sticking out too much).

We purchased a mirror for both our ATV's from Cabellas and they work great. Let's us see who is coming up behind us. Usually it's dirt bikes but we HEAR them before we see them!!

I wish I would have had a mirror when I was at Hatfield & McCoy. It felt strange riding into town on the main streets and not being able to see a car approaching from behind. On the trails it would be just one more thing to get broken.

I looked at the one that the local WM sells. Made by Bell I think. Can be mounted on the front rack or on a handlebar. I think I'll look around some more.
Thanks for the replies.
