I purchased a nice, used relocation bracket on EBAY, but only used it only once and I only ever used the drivers side (all that's required in Ca). BUT, I can no longer remove my stock mirror from the stock mount.... it's stuck!
SO... I went to the local motorcycle shop (Cycle Parts West), and bought a very cheap, small round mirror for around $10. I use a hose clamp and washer on top to set the height, and the threaded shaft drops right into the top door hinge hole. Flat washer on bottom, and the nut holds it. Yeah, it's kinda cheese-ball....but it is legal and works. Plus it fits in the "trunk" hole when not in use.

I used the same Pep Boys mirror but actually hate it because it is a "trailer" mirror that really distorts distance. It is a wide angle so I have to look back at my center mirror to judge how far back some one is. I haven't gotten around to searching the net for a similar size flat mirror but they must be out there. All of the auto parts stores only have larger sizes.
The other change I haven't gotten around to is moving the mirror higher. I am planning on either buying clamps from Rock Hard to go on my cage or mounting something in the holes in the side roll bar where the door surrounds are screwed in. I think I can get a better position up higher.
Here are the Rock Hard fabricator collars for $36. They are pricey but dead sexy.
