    I was wondering if anyone has ever put a small mirror on their mirrors to aim up at their stacks to watch with they are doing.

    What kind/ size of a mirror would be good for that?

    I believe it’s a 5” or maybe 4”. My stack is behind the fairing but when it rolls I can see it.

    Just to keep an eye on things 327ECE08-755E-4056-9935-495AFDCFA341.jpeg

    Yep. Everyone already posted the pics. I’ve got my left aimed at stack for smoke and right one aimed at the front top of trailer for tree and debri clearance checks.
    Also works great during the day to periodically flip on the marker lights to check that the pigtail connection is still working on the wagon.
