Congratulations Gary. That is a nice achievement... many safe miles to come. At an average of 500 miles a month with a little winter in for good measure that is the way to get your $$$ worth.

The mirrors are different from what comes on the Backdrafts. These came straight from Europe. I find that the side veiws are now more usefull.

Nor Cal Al,
Below is the link to the international web site where I purchased the Mirrors. When you look at the prices on this wedsite you must double the price. there was also some sur charges and conversion fees, but the mirrors are much more functional and they look pretty good too.

https://secure.visav.co.uk/avshop/pr...&sscat=&sword= (copy and paste the entire link and should take right to the mirror section or just click the blue link)

Note: both side view mirrors and the upper suction cup rear veiw mirror came from Europe. The two round suction mirrors in each corner came from Pep Boys for 5-10 bucks ea.
