I ordered these scooter mirrors for $3.99 each (no seriously, the shipping was more than the mirrors). Finally got to try them out last week when I took my doors off for the first time. They are absolutely fantastic, I cannot fathom paying any more. They thread right into the cowl panel holes when you remove one of the bolts. You'll see a white nylon spacer in there, I only put that in to keep from scratching the paint around the recess with my little adjustable. 30 second install. Did a 4+ hour trip at 70+ on the highway and they are nice and stable.

The one on the passenger side is a little obstructed by the dash but still usable. But even if you're not worried about using it, it keeps you legal for your municipality. The driver's side one functions perfectly.

If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one (or two) up.
- paraphrased from Ferris Bueller

The same mirrors are available anywhere but I can't see paying a stratospheric $7.99 when Autozone has them for $3.99:

Dang it I paid $8 for that same exact mirror from O'Reilly like a CHUMP!
My local advance auto parts didn't have them, so that happened to be the next place I tried.

I got a mirror off Facebook for free that fit a JK, but couldn't figure out a way to rig it to fit the JT without scratching the paint. These scooter mirrors are a great "CYA" mod. And honestly it does beat having no mirror. My motorcycle's mirrors are significantly smaller than this, so I'm used to it haha

That being said, $8 sure beats $100+ lol

I absolutely love this forum. Saved me again! I put these on last night and they work great. Beats the hell out of expensive mirrors that I’d have to wait weeks to arrive. Thanks a million man!

Work great, once you get them adjusted right…

I actually think they look nice too, and they're surprisingly stable at 70+ on the highway. Anyone played with leaning the passenger's side rearward for full vis yet?

Just to make sure I understand, is there a left and a right or can you rotate them for either side?

NVM looks like universal. Ordered

huge shout out to Darel, I didn't find them for under $10 but I did get two off Amazon for around 15. ran them down the highway last night and they are perfect.
couple things
  • go to the hardware store as Darel said and get a couple nylon bushings to move the jam nut out further to get an end wrench on it.
  • the arm is a bit thin functionally its fine for on road just wondering if they will hold up to brush off road. appearance wise they look a bit out of place, but all in all i like them and will use them moving forward
Again great find Darel thanks for the info

I was NOT the original "finder" of these mirrors, I just remembered reading about them buried deep in another post. Once I got to try them out I figured I'd give them their own post. Don't want to take credit for finding them, just spreading the word.

Also if I were going to go off-road I'd remove these. No way they'd hold up, and you don't really need them anyway.

Once again, hoarding parts pays off - I sold a scooter about two years ago and kept the mirrors (new owner didn't want them for off-road use)- they lay on the shelf in my shop and now- wow, a use for them and the price is right.
