Default fabbed up mirrors for warrior tube doors?

I just won a bid on some warrior tube doors on ebay. I really do not want to purchase some sideview mirror relocation brackets. Has anyone fabbed up some sideview mirrors that attach to or work in conjunction with the tube doors?

Perhaps a band that wraps around the tube attached to a bracket that holds the mirror? Or a welded bracket perhaps?



Ideas?????

I was thinking about using a mirror that I had previously used in the door hinge that has a bolt sticking out the back of it. I am considering using a pipe clamp that runs through the small slot in the plate at the front of the door and sticking the mirror's bolt through it.

Thoughts?

I went to pepboys and bought a $16 mirror that threads into the upper bolt on the windshield pillar. Take out the stock bolt and the mirror threads right in.

I'm not having much luck with my idea. Now I'm thinking about a pair of scooter mirrors and drilling a hole in that front triangle plate on the door to secure the mirrors in.

Any thoughts?

I want to avoid unscrewing the windshield bolts if possible.

Default Mirrors for Warrior tube doors

I purcahsed a set of Stearns ATV mirrors from Wal-Mart for around $28 and a set of Victory foot peg claps (1.25 inch kit) from ebay $20 for side mirrors for my tube doors. I had to purchase two metix bolt and nuts from HomeDepot for a few bucks but they look really good (except the clamps being chrome) and they do not rattle or wiggle. The lens in the black mirror frame can be adjusted a little in all directions with out haing to move the bracket. I tried a bunch of things for brackets but these clamps are as solid as a rock.
