if you are taking them off and not putting them back on ,see if you can use dremel with cut off wheel, cut the nut off

ok, i figured out how to take them off without wrecking them. thanks for the reply.

Neil, let us in on what you did?????

My question is why remove them? :dazed:

You can't see them

so it cannot be an esthetic thing :blush:

Now you are going to need to turn your head around all the time to see where your riding partners are :wink:

I will never understand why some remove safety features :sarcasm:

With all the pics I posted of my sled have you noticed I have the same mirrors as you?

aka they are in behind the flare of the windshield

my next sleds will have at least one mirror,I hate looking back :undercover:

Oh well

Cory- I compressed the spring, and turned the little locking mechanism which acutally removed the mirror itself, then, it enabled me to get a phillips screw driver on the other end of the bolts. i then removed both bolts and then popped off the base of the mirrors.

FB- i removed them simply because, 1) i never use them 2) i think they look ugly while sitting on the sled and 3) because when i look into them all i see is my arm, and when i adjust them, a couple minutes on the trail and they have shifted around again.

Go out riding. Make a sharp turn to the right or left. The sled will probably roll.

This is the story of I lost my mirrors.
