At the rollcage junction top :: Ft. Fender & Bottom of Windshield made & added a bracket to mount a ft. BOX.
Mirror vision through waves of softwood plastic doors was marginal at best.( Zero at times unless window was unzipped. )
Desided to use the BOX bracket :: Move Mirrors Forward changing the Angle to gain Vision through the Windshield.

Gained FULL CLEAR Vision through Both Side Mirrors. ( the last 2 pictures are sitting in seat looking out through real time Dirty Windshield )
Mirrors in the pictures were purchased off E-bay $56.00 ( have nice adjustment & clear vision )

FYI: NO need for NEW Mirrors just make the bracket accommodate your Present Mirrors.

Good thinkinl!

Do you find the front box blocks your vision right in front of the P5? I’m selling a Strongmade front basket for that reason.

At 1st. maybe a little -- ( quickly get used 2 )
With a basket --2 easy to pile things on & block view. ( been there 2 ) on previous atv & utv's.
I like weather proof storage.
I keep Winch accessories , Tools & Booster Pac in the front BOX ( quick access 2 ) hope Donot Need items.

FYI :
Windshield Tilts enough to allow Hood Removal -- Release & bring it backwards into the cab area ( If needed ) or 4 bolts & BOX OFF

Good deal. I packed an elk out at night on a gnarly, boulder strewn atv trail in pitch dark with the basket and only the Honda factory headlights. Never again. Took it off, reversed the brackets and mounted it on top for emergency gear and light weight stuff. Put on a roof and now trying to sell it.
