Just wanted to share my install of side mirrors with Honda Talon OEM upper doors.
Back in 2021 when I left the RZR world and purchased my Talon I created a list of what I was going to do to the machine based upon my buildout of the RZR. If you have ever had one of those moments where you said to yourself I did this but I wished I had done this. I was able to change what I wasn’t 100% happy with that I added to the rzr to make the Talon in my view perfect. With this I quickly realized with having a glass windshield that seals the entire front when it’s up and having upper doors that I couldn’t simply add side mirrors unless I bought after market upper doors that wouldn’t work with my front glass bracket. But having OEM upper doors and the sealed front windshield was more important so I continued without side mirrors 😞. Last October I had some brackets made, put them on my desk and there they sat for the last 10 months. Since I had a few things I had been putting off I finally addressed the lighter thing yesterday and the side mirrors today!
So here is what it took:
1. Custom brackets that are held in with the upper screw of the upper enclosure.
2. Seizmik Embark mirrors.
3. A tape measure.
4. Needle. 💉
5. Soldering iron.
Here is how the installation went.
Step 1. Installing the brackets went as you can imagine.
Step 2. Then the inportant part. Measuring. Measure, measure. Measuring several times and angles.
Step 3. Pushing the upper tight against the bracket and sticking a needle perfectly through the upper doors in the very center of the bracket hole. (Live on a small farm if you’re wondering about the needle in the pictures.)
Step 4. I heated up my propane soldering iron lining the tip up with the end of the needle pushing against it and burning a hole through the upper doors. You only get two chances to be perfect, one on each side LoL.
Step 5. Push the bolt through the bracket and the uppers and placing the rubber on the outside and screwing mirrors on.
Step 6. Adjust mirrors!
I’ll be testing it out this weekend at Black Mountain. I like vertical mirrors by the way. If you like horizontal get the Seizmik Pursuit or Chupacabra. Feel proud of yourself to follow this book so far. Enjoy the pictures.
