Bbennett Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I replaced the mirrors, now want to fill the resulting void (see photo) - hopefully with a black plastic round head Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Not sure if you have NAPA Auto Parts in Seattle? Around this neck o' the woods, they stock a bewildering assortment of tiny plastic fasteners, plugs, etc., one (or many) of which might just fit the bill. I've got a bunch of 'em on my cars, and a few of 'em on my Guzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotogoozer Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 When I bobbed the nasty ugly bit of rear fender that sticks down under the license plate, I discovered that the rubber bits in it needed only slight narrowing with a razor knife and they screwed nicely into the hole. Looks great and uses stock Guzzi bits... Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 You may consider a short stainless allen head bolt instead. It may give a nicer more finished look to the bracket. I'm thinking about cutting a set to length, sanding the cut edge smooth so that the bolt actually fits flush inside the hole. I have to cut screws to length at work frequently so thats where I got the idea. I always have to sand the burr off the cut end for the screw to thread properly.

todd haven Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Undo the bolts, flip the endcap over. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 On the Lemans because of the fairing mounted mirrors these are filled with a bung. On one of the few times I used my fast idle lever I managed to catch it with my gloved thumb and knocked it out. Just left it as is. The least of my cosmetic blemishes.

DeBenGuzzi Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I can't believe you have the original grips! I got some new Geltype ones that are thicker gives my big mits something easier to grip and rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Todd - Sweeeeet solution! 69817[/snapback] That is the sano approach! Run a zip-tie through your hand lever pins while you're at it. The stamped nuts underneath have a nasty habit of leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
