BrokenArrows Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm considering putting bar end mirrors on my Diversion F . Something like this: However after I take off the existing mirrors (I haven't don't it yet) I assume there is going to be a hole in the fairing. You can see how the mirrors are placed in this pic. http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/moto_gallery/YAMAHAXJ6DiversionF-4421_4.jpg Any suggestions on how to fill this hole? Id obviously like it to look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzresurection Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Make some flat adapter plates that will fit flush over the 2 holes. They might be available as an aftermarket part for your bike. If not, they can be made easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd see if there's anything I could mount on the brackets instead. Something like running lights maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought about putting something in their place because the reason for taking the mirrors away is because I want to make the front more flush. Although now that you have mentioned it I might look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a google but cant find anything. Any suggestions on where to look to see if they are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing that can happen is that they won't look pretty - meh, give it a go. That's how you develop new skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You could also get something like this: http://www.oxford-shop.co.uk/item3697.htm And then stick an LED in the remaining hole using a waterproofed wiring assembly. Nice, but discrete running lights that would show up well at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
