Nobody answered since 2008?! Cads! The outside two black prongs go on the inside of the temple piece of your eyelasses(your face side). The middle black prong goes to the outside of the temple piece. Or vice-versa if you prefer. All three black prongs work together to create a tight "pinch" mounting on the temple piece.

Try hot gluing it to your bike. It'll b fairly easy to take off if you don't like it. Not sure of any other way to do it if you've tightened the mirror as much as you can. Hope it works.

Also some aftermarket brake clutch lever kits have holes for these mirrors to screw into, but they are usually used with the handlebar mounts (sold separately, like $6-$10)

You will need to cut the very end of your rubber handle grip off, like slicing off the tip of a cigar. Then push grip back on. The mirror has a "L" shape bracket which you slide thru the hole off the rubber grip which slides into the opening of the handle bar. There is a Allen screw at the end off the mirror bracket on the outside. Tighten Allen and it spreads the mechanism you pushed thru end of handle grip that went into handle bar. It spreads and tightens inside of handle bar. Very easy to do and best mirror I have used.

There is a YouTube video showing how to put together a 16" Huffy bike, but if you skip to the 4 minute mark you can see how the handlebars are supposed to attach. If you feel you are still missing a piece please contact us at @ customerservice@bikeusainc.com. The video link is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8eGuH2U9Cc

I didn't have any problems mounting it, but I used an older clamp I had in the garage. You might check with the Polaris dealer or look at www.rockymountainmc.com for a clamp that will hold the mirror.

Insert the expanding plug of mirror into end of handlebar and twist mirror to expandthe plug until tight then adjust the mirror. I had to cut an opening in my handlebar grip in order to fit the plug.

I still have problems. I took it apart to adjust the sensor, but the booklet I have shows it being oh so easy, yet my bike has a plate covering it. I guess I have to take it down further. I will buy from Walmart next time.

I had to remove the bolt holding mirror onto bracket to install the bracket to frame. After this was done I reinstalled mirror to mounting bracket. Just pay attention to how the washer and spring are located so you can reattach correctly. I suggest doing only one at a time so you will have the untouched 2 nd mirror to refer to if you forget.worked good for me except I had to add some washers to the bolt heads to keep them from pulling thru the bracket when tightened.

Don't try it yourself. Have your local dealer do it. I did it myself and did it wrong because I have saddlebags and a hidden hitch. My bike was a special case!

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

There are two kinds of mirrors. This one fits into mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and comfort bikes where the handlebars are not curved. There is usually a plug that can be pryed out of the ends of the handlebars which will accomodate the mirror. If the handlebars are curved you need to get the other type.

I had to put mine on a few different ways until it looked right. YouTube probably has videos on how to put them on. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help

I have never tried to do this, but you might want to unscrew the mirror and see if you can gain access to the handle hardware that way. Good luck.

I've yet to find a bike that this mounts and stays mounted on without modification! I've used and modded this or one similar to it with many types of bikes. And all of them had to be modded, cut, riveted and utilized with some bent aluminum tabs to make it work properly.
