What do I put on the top of unused mirror stalks
I'm going to be putting bar end mirrors on my bike. What can I get to cap the dead stalks? Is there something specific for this problem?

I've got similar on my Enfield, remember when ordering that your mirrors might have the opposite thread to each other, or they might not, varies from bike to bike.

If the thread things is a problem,you can get plastic plugs off the bay and bung em in.

Sweet. Santa is bringing the mirrors so I've not got them yet or started disassembly. I have a jar full of "things" but non of them and I wasn't sure what they were called. Plastic plugs. I'll get some.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Mon Dec 08, 2025 8:52 pmI've got a big tub of things like that, I was going to offer to send some in the postSkub wrote: Mon Dec 08, 2025 12:54 pm If the thread things is a problem,you can get plastic plugs off the bay and bung em in.
