Recently got a cool looking set of koso scooter mirrors via ebay .free shipping & good price. Only thing is you cant use them they flutter faster than hummingbird wings! Save your money. Im too cheap for my own good.(my wife will verify this)

You might have got the same ones as me. No matter how tight i make the pivot bolt, it still moves. I even broke a pivot mount trying to tighten it. I found that if you pivot them all the way forward, they hold tight. In that position they are going to stand about an inch shorter but function. Eventualy im going to find or make a thon nylon washer to shove in the pivot yoke to attempt to give it more bite.

Those mirrors suck.. I broke two sets.. They are like 9 bucks on ebay or something like that? It doesnt take much to break them and they always rattle loose.

Yea never get mirrors with plastic stalks. Stock mirrors seem pretty decent now!!!

Who puts out a good mirror? Or, what website has good quality mirrors? I've been thinking about switching mine out, but I also had a bad experience with replacement mirrors I got online. They wouldn't stay tight.

You have to adjust them i had the same problem with mine. Then one day i took the time to get them to work. The nut that bolts to the handlebar tighten it all the way and back off just a bit place the mirror where you like it then hold mirror in place and tighten. I think there the same one i have right.

They wouldn't stay tight. makes a great bar-end mirror (slide the stick in end of left bar (right through the grip end), use a scrap piece of 1/4, 5/16 etc fuel line, or electric tape to wrap around it so it sits snug and holds tight inside the handlebar. it doesnt give a big field of view, but i always look over shoulders before doing anything anyhow. i got one on mine, i like it much better than the stockers mine came with.  |
