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?

Stop Press! I found something on Ali Express.

You're up too early and too quick for yourself.

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.

79p worth a punt. Otherwise I will revisit this thread.

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

Can’t you just turn the mount upside down?, that what I did on my monster.

Cup holder on one side, ashtray on the other.

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.
