I think you maybe able to find something to fill the holes, but it maybe easier to do it yourself. Or even have a machine shop machine some alum. to fit in the holes.

FREEDOM!!!
I took off both because it looked very cool IMHO. BUT, it made lane changing and looking out for LEO's riding up on your tail difficult. Put back the left side mirror and adjusted it somewhat to the left and behind me and I 'm good with it. Rode 50 miles to work today in traffic and felt fine. Didn't think about filling the hole until I just read your post! Maybe a small diameter carriage bolt so the top is round and smooth. :cheers:

TRUE COLORS COLLISION
i rode with mirrors all last summer and by the end of summer on my way home from sturgis to maryland i put stock mirrors back on cause they dont vibrate as much and i wanted to see behind me and lessin my odds of gettin run over on my journey,these idiots and their cell phones and now the texting and advancement of technology that the phones have to offer allows the car drivers to pay more attention to the cell phones then the driving......but you have to put something there to hold the levers together.....good luck

I was just at ACE hardware getting some chrome bolts and they have a lot of chrome caps that you might want to check into. These would probably do the trick. Thank god for ACE and their bolt supply

It would not be fun when your bike gets towed for not having mirrors and you are left with no ride. My budy had a custom bike without mirrors in NC and got stopped and towed.

If I recall - within the hole there is a spacer - Not sure if that serves any purpose or not (will have to check the manual -lol). But if it does....You will have to bolt it up to prevent it from falling out. I think a nice chrome button head bolt would look C@@L out there.

Law or not - and jokes aside (what's behind me really doesn't matter - lol) - I'd rather have a mirror than not, never know when you need it.

that spacer holds the levers in.have to have a bolt through it to keep spacer in.button head or allen will look nice but no mirrors sucks.leave atleast the left side.thats just my 2 cents

Yeah, the holes defiantly need to have a bolt in them. If the vibration of the ride were to knock the spacer out your lever(s) would be worthless.
