I recall I JB Welded mine several years ago. Check Stadium Yamaha Kymco Parts List.
However more and more parts are being listed as "Call for Price".
-
is JB weld holds up to the vibrations?
-
I just seen the mirror at powersportswarehouse.com #88110 and 88120 for the mirrors take a look at the blow up pictures and pick out what you need,.

JB Weld (About $5.00) has held for several years. My Brother's Alum. 635 cu. in. 1,200+ Hp.
Racing Engine is a combination of alum. welding and JB Weld and he won a national record two weeks ago. You will find your plastic panels with broken tabs from vibration and worn out plastic threads from removing and replacing self-tapping screws.
Works excellent on these items. You can back up your bond with a piece of roughened up thin (pop can) alum. patch.
The only downside is it takes all night to cure for the regular JB, but there is a quick cure. Beats $15.00 shipping alone for new parts.

@de dee

Thanks too

Go to the Hardware, Auto Parts Store, Lowes and read the package.
-
JB weld products comes in different types of epoxy which particular one did you use on your side mirror bracket?
-
The black and red tubes, not the quick cure. If this works, which it should, you'll not only save money, but probably 2 weeks waiting on new parts. Squeeze each tube about 1 1/2" long. Mix together (I use a nail). You'll have about 5 minutes working time. Don't know what experience you have, but be willing to learn and save alot of money.

thanks B'friend!

hi guys,
had an accident w/ my gv250
Go to Home Depot and ask for a small roll of Metal (not plastic) Pipe Hanger / Pipe Strap. Using this I made a bracket for my right side mirror when it broke off last Dec. Works great - even better than the original - I'm getting ready to do the left side mirror because if vibrates - the repaired right side mirror spoiled me.
Tools needed: tin snips, drill bits, drill, nut and bolt or pop rivet (optional) gun.
