What is the fitting mechanism and is it sturdy? Also, how does the weight of mirror affect your existing mirror? Is their "fatigue" on the original mirror affecting the ability to focus the two mirrors together?

Spring loaded tension clips top or bottom. Does vibrate a little on certain roads at higher speeds causing slightly blurred image but still distinguishable. Delivers greater visibility & Worthy of purchase

There are two holes on the bracket. We had to drill our holes but it was not a problem. The mirrors are worth it.

I bought the the mirror and Its been working fine ever since! I took iff the mirror plate it comes with and popped on the original one that matches my car's color.

I didn't have any problems mounting it, but I used an older clamp I had in the garage. You might check with the Polaris dealer or look at www.rockymountainmc.com for a clamp that will hold the mirror.

not that I notice. I really like this mirror. I took it off the other day to just see how it was before, and I thought "how in the world did I drive without this?"

Absolutely! The best make up mirror I have found! I have had mine for a long time and I love it. If something would happen to mine, ( say, my daughter would perminatly borrow it) I would not hesitate to order another one!

Weight is minimal - the key factor here is the pressure applied to the base as you pull the mirror out and push it back. Suggest you install with toggle bolts or use anchors. Good luck.

The mirror is a power mirror so you don't have to manually adjust it. The entire mirror body does not fold in whatsoever.

It will not snap. There is ratchet mechanism with engaging teeth. To adjust the tilt, push toward the wall (or pull toward you) the the base of the mirror. It will remain in place in the final position.

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

I don't own the 4-panel mirror, but the specs say it is over 27 inches long. That seems like a lot of additional weight on your OEM mirror mount. The added weight may make your OEM mirror mount fail especially if it's just glued onto the glass. If that happens, the aftermarket glass adhesives are usually not as good as the OEM glues. If you want a clip-on mirror, go Broadway (but be prepared for "Objects in mirror are actually closer than they appear").

It has to have something to secure itself onto but if there is still part of your original housing to clamp onto it will be a decent replacement, certain a wider field of view. The adjustments to the angulation of the mirror in the housing are somewhat limited. It definitely reduces the blind spot considerably which is why I use it though a few degrees more adjustability would have been nice.

If you are talking about the screw that holds the convex mirror to the convex mirror housing, it is not an exotic screw. I didn't measure it, but I think it is a #8 x 1" pan head sheet metal screw. I'd suggest testing different screws until you find the right one so you don't cross thread the bore for this screw. I don't suggest glueing these two pieces together for two reasons. One is you can't remove the entire mirror unless you destroy the housing. The other is that the ball joint that allows adjustment is nicely tight. I found that removing the mirror from the housing, nudging the ball joint, then refitting and checking for view, was more successful than just pushing on one side or the other with my thumb as is suggested in the instructions. If you are referring to the pair of screws that are part of the clamping mechanism, I tried to get extras that were a little shorter than as supplied and couldn't find them. They are a metric size, I think a #7. The hardware store I go to has a pretty complete stock, but not that size. It wasn't worth going to a specialty screw supply to find them.

Yes the tilting bracket is very stiff. I believe this to prevent mirror from easily changing on its own or from a mild bump. Unless you have more than one user I found once set I don't change mine. I would suggest if you need to move yours more often try lubricating the pivot area with shampoo or liquid soap and adjust slowly with equal pressure on both sides of mirror.

I had to remove the bolt holding mirror onto bracket to install the bracket to frame. After this was done I reinstalled mirror to mounting bracket. Just pay attention to how the washer and spring are located so you can reattach correctly. I suggest doing only one at a time so you will have the untouched 2 nd mirror to refer to if you forget.worked good for me except I had to add some washers to the bolt heads to keep them from pulling thru the bracket when tightened.

Rather light. I had one in an S2000 and now I have it in my 99 ML320. My mirrors have not sagged. Only thing is that the plastic did warp in the hot sun in the summer and I had to "fix" them to ensure they wouldn't pop out.

Not as a _replacement_ for the original mirror. It's an accessory wide view mirror to add extra view to the main mirror. For that, it's very useful.
