After reading a bunch of posts on mirrors, I came to this site: http://www.fourstrokesonly.com/Mirrors.html
These seem to offer what I'm looking for but, I thought I would solicit some advice from people who have already made similar choices.

Most people speak highly of the Ken Sean folding mirrors but, my search for them has been fruitless. Is Ken Sean a generic term like Kleenex and Xerox are for facial tissue and copiers?

What I want in my new mirrors:

• no vibration on the street so I can see absent minded motorists trying to run me down (cell phones, text messaging, etc.)
• break away so I don't impale myself on them when I hit them hard with my body ( what can I say, I'm still learning to ride off road )
• something that folds out of the way so I have one less obstacle to clear on the trails.

THANKS!

 

Hey Man, I like the MSR mirrors that I have. They do vibrate a bit but I use full-on knobbies, so I think most anything would. The stock ones are an accident just waiting to happen. Acerbis makes some that are the same as MSR. Just set them out as far as you can (next to grip on left side) because they're rather short.

 

Check out the hand guards from highway dirt bikes dot com. They have a fold in mirror built into the hand guards that are protected really well. If I didn't already have bought cycra guards I would have looked into them.
