Mirrors

[alol74]

Hi everyone,

A quick question from newbie. I've recently got my first bike - Honda XR125L and it appears that mirror-mounting screw holes that brakes/clutch lever assembies have are totally wasted and mirrors' bolts just can't screw in... Can anyone suggest what would be the best course of action here ? Shall I replace lever assemblies or shall I install new clamp-on mirrors? Can I ride without mirrors ?

Thanks

clamp- on mirrors might work, failing that you'll have to drill out holes

and re- tap the threads maybe using heli-coils or similar.

you could always look on e bay for the whole things.

I'm not sure if you need mirrors legally now!

you didn't used to but that may have changed.

depends on how much lever brackets would be... or get alternative mirrors that fit inside the bars..

Thanks, I guess clamp-on mirrors would be easier and probably cheaper option...
