Made a mirror

[fastjim11]

Ugly as crap! Ok well its my first try. I used stuff that was laying around the shop. I saw a picture on another thread and whipped this baby up, mine will fold the other one didn't. A simple design that can definately be improved upon. I enclosed a few self explanatory pics, if you you care to look any suggestions welcome.

I havent got that far yet, but have been thinking about making some of my own, I hate the cheapy bolt ons, and as much as I love the OEM's they just dont cut it! Your pictures have definetly inspired me to make some of my own- Thanks!

I was trying to figure out if the FJ60 mirrors or some year Toy pickup mirror would fit the existing holes, but I haven't broken mine off yet...

I broke the passenger side off less than 24 hrs after getting my pig.

And they are not cheap either

My pass. side made it about about that far into my piggy's maiden offroad voyage... too fast down a wash and caught a little too much of tree. Dang! Oh well. It didn't come clean off, but there sure isn't a whole lot holding it on now...

Yep, not cheap and still just as breakable.
My total cost was less than $10 mostly for the mirror head that was purchased at a
freightliner dealer, or at any truck stop or supply.

A cool way to make the arms for the mirroris to use some old MX motorcycle handlebars and cut them to desired length @ the contour you like and duplicate it for the other side. I made some for my 40 from my old YZ 490. I like your idea for the mount.
Now, does anyone have the fender apron mounted mirrors? The ones that they have in Australia? I'd like to check some of those out.
