Mirrors for the RK24

[coastie15078]

I got 2 mirrors for my Rk24 and no drilling required. There were already 2 holes on the FEL and there is enough clearance that nothing rubs.
I did use rubber washers to try and eliminate as much vibration as possible and the best part is, they were only $18.00 for the pair. I use them while backing up the driveway, but once I get close to truck, shed or house, I turn can turn around....it beats being twisted around for 120 feet.....

I have one of those back up cameras, that has the monitor that I bought a few years ago, going to see if I can put that on via a switch, since there is no back up lights to tie it into to activate.....

Not sure if the 19 and 37 has these pre drilled holes on the FEL.

Compared to JD want $72.00 per mirror, I think this was a good savings.....going to put a little dab of locktite on as well...

Nice idea, I like it. Thanks for posting photos.

No problem, that's what these ,sites are meant for, to help each other out with ideas. Like I said, I will use mirrors when backing up the drive, but once I get close to the house, truck or shed, I will turn around for a close view.

Looks like you found a simple ( and cost effective!) solution. There are several styles of those motorcycle mirrors available for not a lot of money. If someone wanted to drill one more hole on each side it would be very easy to mount up a set of aftermarket Jeep mirrors, which would be larger and wouldn't cost a huge lot more. I've seen the Jeep mirrors for $25 set.

I saw the jeep mirrors to, but I didn't want to drill any holes, so this was just a bolt on, quick mirror....
