Way I see it is just under $100 per side. Nope...not cheap.

It's real easy on the 300CX FEL. There is a hole at the top of the mast. A piece of 3/8" ID clear plastic tubing fits perfectly. Bought two 5" round convex mirrors (like seen on OTR trucks for about $7 each. The mount stud fits perfectly inside the plastic tubing. Four flat SS washers.

$14 = rear view mirrors on each side.

A pic or two of that mirror mounting would be great.

Hi Beenthere,

Look at my picture.. I changed the mirrors on my motorcycle, and took one and mounted it on the FEL... There's a hole already there!

I also have a mirror mounted at the top of my homemade canopy!.. You can see it also in the picture... They come in handy when traveling on the highway, and makes it easy on the neck!

Thanks, I like that.
Only I need to think on how working in the woods would like it.

And most of my "rear view" concern and need is on the road when plowing snow (when the FEL is off). But going to think on that some.

I work a lot in the woods cutting firewood, and the mirror really doesn't stick out that far!

JC Whitney has some ''cheap'' motorcycle mirrors.

Since you take your FEL off, Then you might have to get the mirrors that would clamp around your ''grab handles''.... Like the kind for an ATV.
