Does anyone know where to find side view mirrors, billet style with buggy window mounts,i know cb performance has some but i didn't see the window mounts. I'm a new member, just picked up a buggy and am trying to make it my own, thanks for the help dse50

I bought the mirrors with the mounts in the picture from Pacific Customs, they also sell rectangular mirrors.

B and K Manufacturing (Manx Club sponsor) manufactures and sells the mounting and mirrors. They are no doubt a higher quality the the Chinese manufactured stuff I bought. Needess to say quality comes with a price. http://www.bandkmfg.com/

I have B & K products on my Buggy and have had them for years. I have no problem with them, they fit better than any billet stuff I have bought. I would rather buy once and pay a little more than to have the mirrors fall apart like the first ones I bought from another source, they lasted only a week! I can not say emough as to the quaility of B&K 's items, they are well worth the price no matter what any other price sounds good. Neal :rock:

Neal, Where did you buy the mirrors that only lasted a week? I know I want to stay away from them.

My Pacific Customs Mirrors haven't given me a bit of problems in the 2+ years they have been on the buggy.

dse50, You can't go wrong with B&K. They have several things in their favor, 1) They make a great product 2) Bill & Karen are great people 3) They are Manx Club sponsors 4) did I mention they make a GREAT product? I have their mirrors on mine and they are awesome.

I echo the B&K sentiments, I love the mirrors I bought from them. md

Somewhere between Clear Lake and Sacramento there is one of those Tiawanese mirrors that fell off my car. By the best (B & K) and only cry once.

Thanks to all who have given advice on the mirrors, l've talked to other members on line and off and it's great to get so much help with any ? you have. looking forward meeting a bunch of you next year at the runs. by the way can anyone post a close up pic of B&K's side mirror, i called bill and ran an idea past him but i need a close up to see if it would work. Thanks Dale

The mirrors I got from Pacific Customs were O.K. at first, but after some road use, the set screws kept coming loose, the side mirroors do not vibrate as bad as the rear view mirror, and I had to use JB weld to keep them from vibrating loose going down the road. My advice is B & K, other things I got from them are much better built! :2cents: Jimbo

tried on my mirrors from pacific customs yesterday. it seems they won't work. the problem is that the piece that mounts to the windshield frame is a one piece unit. seems that it needs to be put on at the bottom of the frame and slid up into position. problem is- i have buttons for side curtains all up the sides. it looks like the B+K version is a two piece. looks like it can be mounted from the front and back side of the frame and then bolted together onto the frame. can anyone confirm this setup? thanks.
