seems riding a 2019 F3 the mirror location is pretty much useless unless you want to keep moving your hands or raising up a little to see out the mirrors. was wondering which if any handlebar mounted mirrors anyone has gone with. Dont care so much for the bar end mirrors and that just looks like its inviting people to knock them when parked.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What handlebar mounted mirrors if any have you installed on F3/F3 Limited

I prefer the top ones as they don't place images so far back. Not as convexed.

The mirrors are hinged and are sold as "folding" mirrors. On a normal bike, it would be easy to bump them, but on a Can Am one must do a dance to bother them as the front wheels keep intruders at bay.

If you get the ones I linked, you may need to buy M6 x 30mm long phillips to mount them into the bar ends. Our bars are not hollow pipes. They have screws holding on the bar end garnish.

I agree! OEM mirrors are just not in the normal line of sight. I mounted these KIWAV Lucifer mirrors to my 2019 F3T, and configured them to flash white as a running light, and get a cool sequential amber turn signal. Also like the shape that complements the F3. It is not plug and play, but not difficult to tie into the turn signal cable. https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Two-Tone-Sequential-Mirrors-Lucifer/dp/B07JHPC9CN

Those are really cool! But I am a minimalist and the less hardware I mount beyond OEM is best. I have sequential signals already built into my custom "signature" light. If you are of my philosophy about minimal additions to your Spyder, check my page at the link in my signature. As always, YMMV
I have the same Lamonster set up (cuffs and Big Eye mirrors) - absolutely one of the best upgrades for my 2 week old F3L

Yeah, but you can’t do that if you have your bars set in the perfect position to avoid fatigue or shoulder/wrist pain, Dudley..... give me a comfortable day long ride and I’ll install install bar mirrors. .....and I am NOT a handlebar mirrors fan :thumbup:
