    Default Wondering what you've all done for Towing mirrors?

    21 F3S, pulling a popup trailer I can't see over the trailer. Thinking bar end mirrors may be the way. Wondering what others have done.
    Clamping the bars doesn't interest me.

    I installed Wide View Mirrors on my RTL. They are stick-on convex mirrors. Believe they are also available for the F3. One of the best after-market additions, safety-wise, that I added. Pulling a trailer, I could see a vehicle behind me in either mirror as well as eliminating blind spots next to me. They seemed a little pricy for what they are, but after installation, I was happy to spend the money. Good luck..... Jim

    To really see well over the trailer you need additional mirrors mounted up high. Bar-end mirrors won't do it, imo.

    Just a word of caution which you might have read on my other posts ..... Pulling a heavy trailer is not a problem for the 1330 Spyders .... however STOPPING very much can be !!!!!!! ..... good luck .... Mike

    I added the Lamonster top cuffs and a couple of mirrors I got off of Amazon. They are just high enough to see over my Aspen camper and everything behind me. When done towing, I screw them off and put plastic plugs into the threaded holes.

    Hi Dave here, I have been using the SAENG mirrors over the years on several motorcycles
    I have owned and also on both of my Spyders.
    I will be a Dealer/Distributor for this fantastic product in late November. I will tell you now
    they are by far better than anything else out there on the market. a little costly but worth every penny
    go to saeng.com to see the various types of mounting them.
    Here are pictures of them on my Gold Wing and on my F3
