A Note about Side Mirrors (77700-V5059) for X1100C

[BiffNH]

There are a number of threads in which mirrors have been discussed, however this comment is a bit different so I made it a separate comment. I ordered the Kubota side mirrors when I ordered my X1100C. I took delivery in December of 2021. I do like them - but I agree the passenger side mirror is a bit too high, but certainly serviceable for backing up. I was adjusting my mirrors and notice the heads of the phillip head screw were rusty! The captive nuts too, were getting rusty. I don't plow near salt, so this is just plain normal rust. I replaced them all with stainless. If you have these mirrors keep an eye on these as with their really small heads with a little rust removing them may be problematic.

Mine were okay. When my son broke one getting to close to a building I got another set of them but never put them on.

But I have some advice for you if one of yours ever fails. Keep those brackets and arms and go to a heavy truck dealer or parts store and get some 8 inch Grote convex mirrors. You'll just need to get two metric bolts that thread into the end of the arms and use the little L brackets that come with the convex mirrors and bolt them on. It will drop the passenger side so that it is not obstructed at all. And they have an awesome wide field of view. Plus they are under twenty bucks.
