Rather agitated that on its no less than third ride and barely halfway to its first service/maintenance, the $200 Polaris mirrors couldn’t take a whack from a mesquite bush without the mirror cracking…
Side View Adjustable Folding Mirrors for Polaris XPEDITION, Vehicle Frame Mounted, Set of 2 | Polaris XPEDITION
This was NOT a tree branch, it was a mesquite bush which is extremely common around these here parts. The mirror was knocked in when it happened (as has happened before) but I’m less than pleased that a relatively minor (and frequent) impact effectively wrecked a $100 mirror.
With literally tens of thousands of miles on 5 different machines now in this (desert) environment I can’t tell how many times that’s happened and the mirrors needed to be swung back out into position and adjusted, but for it to break after a minor hit strikes me as these being low budget/build quality. I’ve THUMPED the Seizmik mirrors on my Canned Ham X3 and they never missed a beat, which is why I’m honestly taken aback about how arguably fragile these mirrors are.
NO plans to replace them unless the lens physically falls out or pieces start to do likewise, just pissed that they only held up for barely 12 hours…
