New Mirrors
The stock mirrors are stylish, and fit well with the looks of the RX3.
However, they leave a lot to be desired if a wide rear view is desired. The picture of Detours RX3 reminded me that I have the same mirrors on my DR650. Since I ride mostly pavement, and I ride the RX3 at conservative speeds, it's important not to be surprised by something unexpected sneaking up from behind. And I think they look pretty good on the RX3. jb

I have the same mirrors. I've put them on both of my KLRs. They are only $14

I've got a cool little mod, that I'll show everybody the before and after on my YouTube channel, that you can do to these mirrors. |

The ones I bought were about double that. They look to be the same as the Ken Sean mirrors. jb

Well, if you want the Ken Sean brand, they are also made in Taiwan, just like the Emigos. To me they are they same mirror, same manufacturer. But $12 each side

They are most likely made in the same factory, just packaged under a different name, and with a bigger profit margin... jb
