This is everything I have. The mirror brackets are identical copies in size and shape but are mirror images of each other. I believe the maker suggested pop riveting the brackets to the tube frames of the upper doors. A visual inspection clearly shows the bracket design is simple but ingenious.

"Instructions for installation of Mirror Brackets for Mounting Honda Pioneer 1000 Accessory Mirrors on Honda Fabric Upper Doors:

1. Remove upper door assemblies from both hard lower doors.

2. Open fully the fabric zipper to gain access to tube frame of upper door.

3. Beginning at top center of upper door slowly loosen the fabric and slowly working around the tube frame carefully remove the fabric from the frame. Snug fit but it can be done.

4. See provided photos.

5. Begin installation by snugly placing U channel front corner of mirror bracket over the outside of the lower front corner of the upper door frame.

6. Tab on bottom of bottom of mirror bracket slips behind (outside of) horizontal tube frame of upper door flat against the black steel bracket on bottom of frame. Shallow notch cut into bottom of mirror bracket rests over black steel bracket of door frame.

7. Attach tab to black steel bracket with two pop rivets.

8. Install two rivets to attach U channel of mirror bracket to front angled part of upper door frame.

9. Reinstall fabric on upper door frame starting at the mirror brackets and finishing at the top rear corner. When finished, close zipper making sure it closes properly.

10. After fabric is reinstalled check door operation to make sure it closes properly

11. Using a heated awl or ice pick carefully punch two small holes t in the fabric to match the holes in the mirror bracket where the mirror attachment screws will be installed. Use of heated awl or ice pick will prevent unravelling of threads..

12. Install Honda accessory side mirrors on the brackets."

I am wondering on behalf of us laymen, if 1/4" Lexan can be used in place of aluminum? Use JB weld instead of welding!

I'm not an engineer so my opinion is worth what you're paying for it.

I think 1/4" Lexan would be strong enough and JB Weld, if applied properly, would probably hold it together. I'm trying to remember - not sure if thickness of the Lexan would cause any issues. Don't think so.

Worst case - if you build the brackets with Lexan and one of them fails, it's probably not a big deal. You could build another olne.

Id say if your road riding only go for it and JB the hell out of it.
If your off road Id be worried with that JB on there. I use it alot on things but nothing with much vibration. Tends to eventually crack and not hold in time.

With the Honda soft upper doors the A-pillars become huge. I took a pitcher that shows just the tip of the pass side mirror usable.
I have it adjusted to check the rear wheel for backing up on small trails, important, need to see the big hole, or see the cactus about to be run over. I do haft to lean over to the right to use it. I also need outside mirrors to be street legal. I got a big Honda inside mirror that is easy to mount, and does a excellent job of checking for traffic. I will take the uppers off when it warms up, that will improve vis.

@Gerhard ,

Listen to @tjoreo .... He's the guy who designed and built the brackets out of both aluminium and 1/4" 3D printed poly.
He's also improved the brackets through several improvement phases to his design. The brackets are stout and work great.
If you smack a tree with your mirror, well..I'd suggest the bracket will hold and the mirror will be toast.
He made me a couple sets and they work perfectly.
Great guy and Friend, too. @tjoreo

I don't want to steal anyone's thread or over look anyones product but I think I might have a solution coming. I have a couple people trying them out and I'll let you know what I hear back from them. Hoping to have something soon, but I just wanted to Thank @HBarlow and @Dirtstiffs-1000 for their help on this.

Did you ever have any luck tracking him down to see if these mirror mounts he made were still an option?

@tjoreo
I'm still here and sorry I didn't reply to your PM yet. I have a few sets of the brackets made, just finishing up the last touches on the instructions. My sales assistant (aka 11 yr old daughter) has been helping finish them and working on the marketing. Hopefully soon.
