Yes they do have a rather cheap, shiny, "bling" look that needs knocking back.rrietman wrote:I have used those perches on several bikes. aside from the mirror issue, the finish is not right. I usually blast/sand/polish them to get a good finish. also the supplied pivot bolts are plated, not chrome. the lever profile is surprisingly OK for dreams and CB's.

Well, yes, I could knock something up pretty quickly, but as you say, I have some nice workshop tools... :-)R100 wrote:I'm sure you could do that with your skill and milling machine (I saw your oil pump mod.), but I'm just a woodworker with a shaky bench-top drill press.G-Man wrote:R100
Not sure there is enough meat in an M10 bolt to drill and tap to M8. Might be easier to tap a small pice of bar M8 one end and M10 the other. Then put a piece of M10 stud in the hole and screw the "adapter" on to it....
These guys might have something to help.

Agree that mikesxs is a useful site.
