Default certain size Broadway mirror for xB?

planning to get a Broadway mirror.

not sure if there's a certain size
but if so, anyone know which to get?

Broadway mirror...didn't fit.

any help would be nice.

They all clip on the same. The spring is just really strong. I have a 270mm and it works fine. Although i can't put down my visors without hitting it now. I suggest taking off your stock mirror and painting it black to match the broadway. Then mount the broadway. It's a little akward to mount when the stock mirror it attached.

I had the Broadway for awhile, but I now have the Pilot Motorsports one w/red LEDs and like it much better.

That's weird it fell off. Like i said if you remove your stock mirror and make sure it's on tight you might not have the same problem. The xB mirror has a lip that makes you think you have the Broadway mirror on but it's not. It's just cliped on the lip which is a loose fit and may pop off. A genuine Broadway mirror should fit with the clips all the way across the back of the stock mirror. I don't know how to explain it better. you just have to unscrew the stock mirror and see for yourself how it fits. I didn't like the look of a "clip on mirror" black on beige so i took the stock one off, taped the glass and painted it black. The broadway i got had blue glass with a blue housing so i also taped and painted that one so now everything is stealth. Then i cut the elastic off of an Energizer LED headlight, stuck some self adhesive velcro on the back and stuck it to the cap tha covers up the screws. Now i have a sweet dome light with 2 white LED's and alternatively 1 red LED for night vision. And it's detatchable if i need a flashlight, hence the velcro. Good luck.
