I decided to go ahead and try these although there is not a review base to draw on. They may not be large enough to be functional or worse vibrate to the point of useless. It would seem no one has bought any Should be installed this weekend so maybe good product but if not that will be the extent of my effort to explore rear view mirrors as I have learned to live with the stock ones
I considered but don't want to deal with wires nice to have those

The stock mirrors on the PCX are pretty nice. What made you decide to replace them?

The stock mirrors are ok, but for some people, like me, I can't see much of what is behind me - they seem to be made for smaller riders who are not very wide (I'm 6ft and nearly 13 stone, so not that big!). Often I get a hint of what is behind when they are far away, and a short while later they are right behind me and I hardly noticed - not good at all. I lose about an inch of view in the inner part of each mirror as it's obscured by my shoulders, which I have a great view of

They come in white, they're a much lower profile than our stock ones and there is an incredible selection of color on these made in the same country as our scoots. Perhaps they do have a massive appeal for PCX and I just can't verify that. Plus they are on the higher end of the price scale for scooter rear view mirrors. Either they are a very good quality and the style will impress me or back in the box for return. We can all look at them together soon.

I have the same troubles as iceman, my shoulders block my view a bit. I would go with wider mirrors to correct that. But, I don't think I'm as big as iceman.

I bought the mirror extension kits for the bikes and that solved the problem. Look up D323 kit. Don't worry about some reviews that say they don't work for the ppcx150. They do.

I've not gone for mirror extenders due to filtering requirements - I filter a lot now in heavy city traffic, but have to hold back whilst narror bikes can still go on.

seems like they thought of that with the arm (swing in, swing out) depending on your needs. Could be wrong, don't have them installed yet.
They are cool looking. Will have to test them to see if the size is an issue.

Yes! I mean...Oh no! I feel that "buy it" sensation coming on! They look hot! I Like! Want! But....
I will be patient and wait for sir homie's test ride review
We do not want vibration turning these loose. No pestering the op whilst riding. All eyes on surroundings not putzing with loose nuts Nice find!!

Off topic....just one minute ~please~
homie, what tower heater is that sitting nearby and how big a space will it heat? You like/dislike it?
I'm in the market for a space heater for the garage and have read about the Vornado TVH500 being good. Costco just sold out before I got there

Brand name Dura Heat, Home Depo, 23,000 BTU's can bring my 2 car garage up in the 60's in just a few minutes and that's about right for tinkering. You are in Florida the blood gets thin, my 60 is your freezing so without insulation on the doors it can't do much better than 60 today in Chicago land its only 20 degrees. I guess for such a little heater its OK but K1 kerosene is not cheap I can blow through 2.5 gallons in an afternoon and that's 20 bucks!... there has to be a better way.
