Need advice on mirror upgrade

[trayson]

In the past, I have had the CIPA Extreme (3lens), Moomba factory upgrade mirror, and now mounted the CIPA Vision 180....WOW it is sweet. No more gap from the 3 lens and no more moving head to see rider around the tower.

I brought off Amazon the mirror and mount for ~ 140 shipped.
CIPA 2310 Black Deluxe Windshield Mirror Bracket
CIPA 01600 Vision 180° Mirror Head

Attachment 20097

IMO $74 for that bracket is a ripoff. When I got my mirror, I bought both the CIPA extreme and the Vision. The extreme I bought was like $62 and came with the mirror mount. (that said, it appears they aren't selling that package anymore for that price, but even for the $95 shipped that the package costs now I'd almost be inclined to buy the extreme, keep the mount, and sell the extreme without the windshield mount). yeah, the $74 buys you the "deluxe" windshield mount. Meh. For that much money, you're almost to a tower arm mount. In fact, I've got an articulating tower arm for a 2" diameter tower for sale. It's currently priced at $85 shipped but I might be tempted to go a little lower even. However, it doesn't have the ball mount that the vision or extreme needs. Those are another $40 from what I've found.

Shameless plug:

Ordered the powder coat one and it's awesome ... Every time we're out on the lake, we're always asked where we purchased our mirror.

I just ordered, should be in Friday for Father's Day weekend ! Thanks for all the great info.
