I'll try this in the Touring Forum first because a lot of us are still using 9 speed drivetrains, and some may also use MicroShift shifters and mirrors

I am having trouble finding any 9 speed Shimano 4503 shifters. We have six touring bikes in our family set up with those shifters, and I am looking for something to replace them as they wear out or are damaged.

My questions are:

• Does the MicroShift R9 have the same/similar device molded into the front of the shifter to hold the rubber hood cover to the the front of the shifter?
• If it does will it hold a mirror like the Shimao shifters?

We all have the same mirrors
