I wanted some extra vision on the side, but did not want to add mirror extensions. Found these on Amazon in the USA - $7 USD. Not great, but better than stock.

Accessories in Thailand - mirrors

Re: Accessories in Thailand - mirrors
I'm not so sure about this. My old GSX had better mirrors - regular squarish shape with wider angles at the extremes (more like the car)... but I don't really miss them because my neck isn't in need of a brace, I can turn my head. It's called 'lifesaver' activity and a habit hard to give up on after riding many bikes since the 80's with varying qualities of mirrors.
The biggest hassle going from the GSX to PCX is that these mirrors add width well above handlebar height - coinciding with a lot of 4WD vehicle mirrors but without a 'fold' mechanism which means it's not too clever to keep bashing them. For straight line traffic penetration I'm finding the PCX a bit of a fat pig.

I can see that you don't think much of the PCX stock mirrors. But your rant really has nothing to do with the stick-on fisheye mirrors that I put on my stock mirrors

Bob,
If you go to a Honda Main dealer there is an aftermarket mirror for Honda PCX with your little convex circle built in.
Sorry can't find an individual picture but here is the link to the accessory page. http://www.aphonda.co.th/2015/aphonda-p ... 0-h2c.ashx Similar mirrors fit Forza.
If you ride around CMX and go to motocy accessory shops you will probably find more options?

Hi Mike
Saw those at the dealer when I got the windshield, but didn't want to go chrome.
What I got was cheap enough thru Amazon, and I can always remove them if I change my mind.

Bob,
As i indicated if you ride around and look in motocy accessory shops you will find something very similar. Don't know where the acessory shops are? Ask motocy taxi guys

Re: Accessories in Thailand - mirrors
Mike - this thread is about some small cheap stick-on mirrors, nothing more.
I know where the accessory shops are in Chiang Mai, and could not find any this small except on Amazon.
I was looking for something inexpensive to see if I liked using them - not replacement mirrors.

Re: Accessories in Thailand - mirrors
OK> I thought your aim was better rearward vision.

Re: Accessories in Thailand - mirrors
Actually, I am looking for better "sideward vision". That is what you get with fish-eyes.
But enough about me Mike, what mirrors have you found?

Re: Accessories in Thailand - mirrors
I'm relatively happy with the mirrors I have although I have considered some bar end mirrors or even superbike style mirrors mounted on the front/side fairing.
More peripheral vision is difficult. There is that Reevu helmet with mirrors in which has quite a wide field of vision but it may be too distracting.
As you have a windshield RIDERSCAN might be the perfect answer?
I'll go away now
