I made these mirrors, super easy. Awesome option, makes a quick backup or look back easy. I purchased the mirrors on Amazon, filed down the plastic a little to fit the 1/2" clamps. When i'm not using them I fold them in to save space.

How about a link to where you purchased them?
I made the Mirrors with these two Items, plus JB weld for clamps to mirrors. I did have to grind a little from the mirror bracket, JB weld some, You will need to customize to your machine. Was not hard, just have to be inventive. They were not ready made to install. the 1/2" clamps could be a little larger, would be easier install, but could not find them. Plus with the smaller clamps I could keep them on when I disconnect the loader with no problem.

I added a wide-view golf cart mirror to the underside of my canopy:
Not a bad idea. I'm going to add a n LED light bar to my canopy this summer. The OEM Kubota headlights even with LED bulbs are weak. The LED bulbs make them better but still not ideal.

That may put quite a bit of back-glare from the hood mounted up there if you’re lighting forward. I mounted a LED lightbar on top of the grill guard. I attached it with “J” bolts. It really makes a huge difference. (The original headlights only light up the back of the bucket... about the dumbest thing they did when they made this thing...the headlights are expensive.... difficult to fine part number.... dim.... and mounted at the bottom of the grill! :rolleyes:

I would say the mirror works good.

On the B2650 The lights mounted up high work great. I do not have any trouble with glare off the hood. The height and distance back actually lights up the whole front pretty well.
