The ones I got have an adjustment for the tension on the rotating ball. At first, they were moving around sometimes, so I tightened the nut that adds tension to the rotating ball and problem solved.

Thanks guys! I wasn't sure what to finally get, so I decided to go at the MTO and ask for myself. There is no minimum mirror size, as long as you have at least one and you could clearly see your surroundings.

I hope the Emgo units are good. I just ordered a set on Amazon for about $23 the set.

I like the mirrors from the 2013 Honda CRF250. They look more like the style of the bike.

You should be able to source these from any of the big net warehouses. I modified where the mirrors mount so that they are tucked in even more. They work well enough to keep me safe when making lane changes.

Oh, and the Powermadd handguards have been very durable. They survived a direct hit on a 4" sapling but sorry to say, my left clavicle didn't.

It's a REAL bitch trying to pick up a bike with a broken collarbone.

I run a setup similar to Jake the Garden Snake. They are simple blind spot spot mirrors just zip tied to the bars. I'll tak a picture of them on my bike tomorrow. They work nice for seeing what you need to, but an old fashioned shoulder check is always a good idea.
