Title: Mirror bolt hole question
Post by: ArabicaMan on August 26, 2008, 10:57:03 AM
So I just installed a set of totally beautiful Rizoma Reverse Retros I got from PJ's Parts on my 2007 S4Rs and they rock.  But now, of course, I've got the two orphaned holes where the OEM mirrors used to be.  It's not a big deal, but does anyone have a suggestion as to what sort of cap I can get to plug the holes?  And if so, what size?  And where I might buy such an animal?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Cheers.

Some folks flip them upside down. You could check a Home Depot for some type of widget.

I went to Ace Hardware and asked for some sort of black plastic plugs that would fit.  We took out a few different sizes and found one that fits fine.  Cost about 30 cents

Flipping only works on the coffin reservoir masters, the pee-cup gold line masters don't allow for flipping.
I believe they also make blank clamps for the motocross/supermoto world, but I'm not 100% sure about fittment.

I have a 2007 S4R and have fitted Rizoma Reverse mirrors.  The original mirror threads are only on one side of the clamps.  You can flip them.  I did.
