Depends if you want handlebar mount or helmet mount? I like the helmet mount Bike Peddler mirror, Amazon, $13: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C17M26/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I trail ride and handlebar mounted mirror would hit vegetation on some narrow trails and might have broken off the mirrors on a few wipe-outs I've had. I like the helmet mount because I can still see behind me up/down hills, scan left/right behind me on curvy trails/roads, and tilt my head if bright headlights are behind me.
One extra thing I did was wrap a piece of velcro around the section that secures to the helmet. I lost one mirror on a narrow trail and it was knocked off because of tall vegetation.

I use Hafny. It's a high quality finish as if looking at a side mirror of a car.

I like this one however it makes the handlebars a bit wider when set to the outboard position.
Good mirror size and image quality.

Anyone try this one or one like it? Curious if it works well as the above mirror gets bumped out of alignment easily when going through doorways.

Love the Mirrycle mirror (tho I don't have your bike.). I tightened the vertical position, and then I simply rotate the horizontal element to the interior of the handle bar whenever I bring the bike inside, so that the overall width doesn't pose a problem for my front door or other doorways. Then just swing it back on that horizontal pivot, when I'm ready to bike again, into its normal position.
#2 my wife also has one on her Liberty Trike.
