Broke mirror mount, any solutions?

[Kuprebel]

I dropped my bike today :sad2:, but it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. But I do have one issue: the mirror threads on the right break reservoir broke off with the mirror (I guess it was tougher than I thought).

Any idea on how to secure the mirror back on? the threads left on the housing will definitely not support a mirror.

You can get a bolt-on mirror mount from your local dealer, it's just a mount. I dunno if they come in Yamaha reverse-thread for the one side. It's an aftermarket part. Cheap & effective.

Or get bar end mirrors. I got mine last year and like them (plus I like the look)

Plus +1, seeing what's behind me can't be underestimated. I too like the look, but the visibility was my first reason for switching to bar end mirrors. They rock.

What kind of grips do you have and what bar end mirrors? Are there any tricky installations or anything I should about installing bar end mirrors?

The have an allen screw that tightens in the end of the bar and expands for grip.
