Screws that fit mirror mounts

[CVSensei]

Hey guys and gals,

I've got barend mirrors installed now and was wondering if anyone knows what type of screw (preferably black) would fit in the ugly, gaping holes left behind? Or indeed any other solution I haven't thought of..

Cheers,
Charlie

I think you might be able to get plastic insert that just wedge in there?

Have you tried E(vil)bay?

You will be lucky to find a screw for the right hand side if Yamaha have done there normal thing and used a left hand thread, I think they are M10 x 1.25mm thread. As already suggested plastic plugs would be a better option.

No I haven't, not sure what you mean if I'm honest.. Got a link or more specific term by any chance?

have a look at these

Thanks mate, no 10 x 1.25mm though or am I being blonde?

If you look at the images they have a chart showing all the dimensions I would go for the 13x10, so your hole size is 10mm the 1.25 refers to the thread pitch. So you need a plug to fit a 10mm hole.

So looking at there size chart the 13mm x 10mm would be good as the 13mm refers to the diameter that will cover the hole, 10mm is the diameter that the plug will fit into and the 6.3mm is the depth the amount the plug will fit into a 10mm hole

Thank you, kind sir! I will do exactly that.

Did this work out in the end? I've just ordered bar end mirrors too so will need to try and do the same thing...

They were a bit too big but lazy old me couldn't be bothered to find the right size and just jammed them in there. Look much better and still protects from the elements.

Loads here just make sure they have one with a left hand thread
