I see they've enlarged the front turn signals, good move. The old ones you could hardly see and only if you knew where to look. However, I am surprised those big swingout mirrors are mounted so high. I bought my Yamaha from TV at LSL over 5 years ago and they were mounted in the same place. Everytime I went around a curve it created a blind spot right in the middle, and after I almost had a head-on collision I went right back to the dealer and told them. They lowered the mirrors on my cart to where the top edge of the mirror is inline with the black line across the windshield and put black plugs in the old holes.
After that whenever I stopped in I would check the mirrors and they had them lowered on all the new carts for sale. Now apparently someone along the way has gone back to mounting them high again. It could be a tall person is now doing the install as they wouldn't have the same problem as a shorter person.
Here in this photo you can see how the top edge of the mirror is inline with the windshield folding hinge or black line. Everybody that is 5'10" or shorter should keep in mind of that blindspot problem if your mirror is mounted higher.
