I am shopping for mirrors and am curious what your guy's preference is concerning using a rear view, or side view or both. I have a Cooter Brown windshield so will likely have to notch it no matter which one I get.
I appreciate your thoughts.....

I have a rear view but my accessories block it, really liked it when I could use it before the modifications. I bought the axia alloys side mirrors because everything else I have purchased from them has been top notch, however I must say the convex mirrors they use make the side mirrors almost worthless, a flat style mirror while showing less viewing area would be more useful and less like looking through a fun house mirror

Thanks I just looked and found my local Cabellas has some of the Kolpin brand mirrors. I know they are not the same quality of the others but my bank has a rewards program and I have over 800.00 to Cabelas that have been sitting there since January. I am going to try them and if I don't like them I won't be out anything out of pocket.

Both!
I use my panoramic rear view more, but the side ones are useful for watching you rear tires placement.

I use the same side mirrors as motoracerx, but I flipped them upside down to get them low. It seemed to give me the best view.
I think my panoramic is from Polaris. Nothing special, but it works well. The mount for it seems crappy, but I haven’t had any issues.

It’s not a great pic, but these are the side mirrors flipped over.

That’s actually terrible. I can get a better picture if it matters...

I have the Bronco side mirrors. I can't use a rear view one because of my extra kit bag that covers the entire back.

As I mentioned earlier I order the Kolpin mirror set from Cabelas because I had a credit with them so no cost out of pocket. For anyone interested I got them today and put them on. So far I like them. I was surprised that the clamp that goes around the roll bar was thin enough that I didn't have to notch my windshield, they bolted right on. Like everything you get what you pay for but when I look into these I see what's behind me just likeand on about a fifteen minute test run they weren't vibrating or bouncing like I kind of expected. Time will tell how they hold up but if anyone is looking for a budget mirror this set came with two side views and 1 rear view.
