Could you modify the blue sky visors to clamp to the center roll bar, maybe mount left on right and right on left. Of course they wouldn't work for the sun coming in the side windows.

I used the blue sky visors. I fabricated bracket to hold a continuous shaft which is attached to the center support. they work fine and are not as obtrusive and large as the Rosen's plus much less cost. They won't work with the side windows is the downside.
I also use some of the tinted film you can obtain at Wally world and cut into various sizes. It actually works much better than the visor on long trips and can be positioned on any of the windows.
I may end up removing the visors since the film really does work better, and on local flights just use a baseball cap as needed.

That only works if you are over 40 and thus wear the baseball cap bill to the front!

I didn't like the idea of drilling through the cabin top either. So I wound up glassing over the front joggle inside the canopy frame. If you look closely the canopy has an area that can be easily foamed in and glasses over as it transitions to the windshield. I then used some potted nuts and when the visor was installed, the screws were secured into these nuts. Details on my build site.
