all the mirrors are mounted in the original area on the door.
kind of hard to see the mirror if you have a helmet on.
most pre-runners and racers mount it higher.
just my 2 cents. |

| i think a lot depends on how the cage is also designed. i've seen a lot of race cars with a vertical tube in the window that might block some view if the mirrors are mounted low and not high |

OK thanks tryed search on there web site no photos of what could be one or not.
I gave them a call out of stock $39.79 and no photos? , There web site needs some work , no photos, hard to find, no prices
A well layed out web site lots of photos and not afraid to list prices = big sales

I know its not protected, but a bus mirror gives a good rear view. works with the stock mount.

Sxuxrxf makes some really nice stuff.
Im pretty jealous of his fab skills. I would buy a set as well but I plan on learning to weld and making my own, something about the one of a kind "I made that" proudness.

Too kind. 
I also like the one-of-a-kind factor to things that I make, which is why I don't make more of any given item. Usually I decide on something that I think will be cool and a little different, but that also means more of a pita to make.
I also get bored really easy. It's fun to go through the process of turning a thought into reality...the 1st time. After that, not so much.
