P500 rearview mirror advice

[trigger]

My mirror with the soft top was great, then I added the Tusk rear panel and it was okay. Now I added the Cab frame cargo bag and my custom ultimate rear box and I have just a sliver of viewing area. I may need a rear view mirror from a 76 Thunderbird. Or some fold away Jeep mirrors for the sides. Anything that won't be destroyed by a tree.

I put the side mirrors on mine for plowing but don't know how well they'd hold up on the skinny trails. I had planned on taking them off for the summer but I guess I could just fold them in.

Can you fold them all the way inside the cab?

Looks like it would be pretty close to your head in the pics...how you liking it?

It is a little close, so far I haven't hit my head on it. Can see in rear as well as on both sides in back of machine (too some extent) with just an eye shift or very slight head tilt. I liked the looks of it because of the longer arm, we'll see how it goes long term.

I have the ATV TEK mirror on mine it mounts nice and solid,I just wish it had a longer arm on it,I have to look up to use it, what ever one you get look at the length of the arm coming down to the mirror, the longer the better I think.

I use this one and it is solid with no vibration. I kind of like the way it is tucked up high out of my way. I don't drive on the road where I'm checking traffic and changing lanes. We are mud riding and I'm just looking to see if my buddy made it through that last mud hole or if I need to go winch his Kawasaki out AGAIN!

No but they fold flat to the roll bar. Supposed to be shatter proof too.

I bought this one: Amazon.com: 16.5" Extra Wide Panoramic Rear View Mirror Fits Honda Pioneer 1,000 UTV: Automotive
it was pretty short like people said, so I extended the arm on it downward and forward, but now I get considerable vibration. It's still usable though and I doubt I'll change it.

Look on ebay for 5 panel golf cart mirrors they sell for about $28.00 then buy two clamps to fit your roll bar I put these on my two golf carts and my Honda big red and also on my 700=4 they are I think 48in wide and I believe about 2 inches tall look at them and let me know what you think

I'm currently trying these mirrors. My plan was to rotate the mounts so the hinges would be protected by the roll bars, but that is impossible. I'm not sure how long it will be before they are torn off by a tree. I hope they fold away enough to survive... time will tell.

The cab frame cargo bag and Tusk rear window panel cut down my viewing area with that mirror. If you don't have those things, you'll love it!

Well they're not, shattered on a roll over.

I don't know which mirrors you two are referring to!

 

[Deleted member 3748]

Oh, wait... Monte is talking about Trigger's mirrors and I know which mirrors he has.

After seeing @CumminsPusher setup, I decided to go with the same setup.
Haven't installed it yet but should work well

Yeah, those Kolpin's. Glad I bought them now, even though I wanted the ATV Tek's. Twice the price and I only wanted them for plowing. I use them more than I thought I would though.
Shattered huh? Well that's disconcerting. On a rollover though...kinda expected.

That's bad ass! How do you plan to mount it though? CP has a lot more room than we do.

They're good mirrors, I love them and I have the bracket mounted so that they fold in inside the roll bar completely protected from brush and limbs on a tight trail. But yeah, lay the P5 on its side and they will shatter!

It clips onto your existing rear view mirror (car mirror) but I think I will make up a mount for the dash or rollbar , not sure yet!

I think I am going to mount the camera up high (up near the roof on rollbar) to keep mud off of it!

Really you can mount it anywhere you want , wich is why I went this route!

 

[Montecresto]

Can you fold them all the way inside the cab?

Yes, if you position the bracket correctly.
