alol74 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 hello and welcome to TMBF please put a post in the newbie's section and say hello.also please fill in your location in your profile.clamp- on mirrors might work, failing that you'll have to drill out holesand 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.
