    Can someone refer me to a good rear view mirror for a Champ 221 or any Champion for that matter? Thanks in advance.

    You can do a motorcycle mirror, i have seen some on ram mounts so they are fully adjustable.

    Great topic. I thought I was the only one. Besides seeing behind you, it would be good to have a way to see your coolant stream without wrenching your neck either. I have had bones fused in my neck and can't turn it all the way like I used to.

    After some research, it looks like it is hard to have a clamp on mirror that actually holds. The other thing to think about is vibration and the size of the mirror. Can you even see at higher speeds? Does anyone have one that has actually worked for them?

    Pulling a skier or kids on a tube. It is required in some states like Texas when you do that if you don't have a dedicated observer.

    I had neck surgery to fuse bones in my neck and I am now limited in movement. it would be good to have a quick view of the water stream and the blind spot.
