Author Message   Jeli Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:18 pm:        I just took off my stock mirrors and was wondering what others have used to fill in the hole from where they were. I thought about some bolts but nothing that I thought would look good. What have others used to fill the holes?   Old_man Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:22 pm:        I found some black plastic snap in auto body fasteners at Lowes.   Firebolt32 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:25 pm:        }I found some black plastic snap in auto body fasteners at Lowes. Me too...   2008xb12scg Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:36 pm:        I got Crgs from american sport bike and they came with plugs for the holes. You can check and see if he'll sell them without the mirrors.   Jeli Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:38 pm:        what the heck is black plastic snap? I have a lowes in town and will have to check that out once i know what it is. thanks for the fast replies too.   Old_man Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 05:49 pm:        They have a section of these fasteners with the nuts and bolts. I think they are used for auto interior fastening.   Iamarchangel Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:11 pm:        http://grandstanddesigns.com/shop/index.php?l=prod uct_detail&p=57   Jraice Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:14 pm:        Local harley dealer had some small black snap in parts that were like a flat head rivet and really cleaned it up nicely.   Old_man Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:15 pm:        $40 !!!!   Birdy Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:20 pm:        Go to your Buell dealer and get the mirror hole plugs for a XB12R like $.30 each. That's what I did...heck live a little buy a hand full!   Sam_07 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 08:11 pm:        + 1 on plugs for a firebolt!   Fahren Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 08:32 pm:        I got these wicked cool, chromed skull plugs with long braided leather tassel fringe. Oh and chrome. Not.   Froggy Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 08:41 pm:        91960-97Y PLUG, MIRROR MOUNT, R.H. D Retail Price:$0.30 Effing HD markups! You could get this at Wallyworld for a quarter!   Jeli Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 09:27 pm:        Thanks for the info, I think a trip to the HD dealer is in order. Rather go there than WallyWorld, they have big boy toys.   Jeffroj Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 12:41 am:        I put in some black set screws, makes it look like they are serving a purpose. Hex screws always look spiffy!   Swordsman Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 09:31 am:        I would think that one of the many different body panel fasteners from your local auto parts store would do the trick. Lots of sizes and shapes to choose from, and many just push in. Usually around $4 for a box of them. ~SM   Nadz Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 03:18 pm:        Sounds like a good place for a RAM mount.   Jpmonline Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 10:17 pm:        i did that same thing and today was my 1k mile service. apparently the s3 had the mirrors on the faring and they had a little push plug for like 50 cents a piece. works very well and is very very simple.
