Anybody have any mirror recommendations? Something that provides more vision. I broke one of my factory ones so wondering if there’s a thing better

I’ll check them out, thanks for the reply!Well, I have to cast my vote for Double Take mirrors. When I bought my TW200, the PO had installed them and I liked them so much I bought a set for my Trail 125 right after I bought it.
Yeah, I get it. I was put off at first by the elongated hexagonal style of the mirror itself so I bought the traditional round mirror. However, since the mount is the RAM style ball mount, it's easy to changeover in seconds. I'm thinking I might like both styles for different rides although I probably could apply that money for something more useful.I run "FAR" mirrors on most my motorcycles which are foldaway mirrors with more adjustability than the stock ones on the CT125, same circular mirror size. IMO they are little bit more traditional looking than Double Take mirrors and they vibrate less, but they are also slightly less damage resistant.
KTM / FAR adjustable folding mirrors
I didn't like the limited adjustability and chrome stalks on the OEM mirrors so I went with some FAR brand mirrors that came stock on some KTM models and are a common fold-away upgrade for off-road riding. There are a lot of other companies selling knock-offs that have the same looking design...hondatrail125.com
These look nice, however I am looking for ones that can take the inevitable crashes on my upcoming ride on the cdt, which is why I'm looking at either the double take or the ktm/far mirrors. I am leaning towards the Enduro ones I think.Amazon.com: Hoosier Garage BLACK Long Stem Motorcycle Mirrors - Compatible with/replacement for Honda Kawsaki Suzuki Victory : Automotive

Not having used either I am basing my decision on possibly folding the Enduro ones down when we are on a rough trail section and only using them as mirrors on 2 lane or gravel roads. I am also wanting the impact resistance because I see a lot of broken mirrors on the crashes in videos I'm watching. I would run the cheapest ones possible otherwise.I've had both the Enduro model and the ADV model. I ran the Enduro on a Honda CRF450L and the ADV on a KTM 890 ADV R. I much preferred the ADV model so take that for what it's worth.
