levers & mirrors

Post by vespaguy » Thu Dec 27, 2007 4:34 pm

Has anyone found a source for either

a: levers w/ 8mm mirror mounts or
b: mirrors with 10mm threads

Ebay has lots of the wrong stuff, which look good with the obvious exception of having the wrong threads to match the other part. I am replacing both parts on my project, and ebay is good for both 10mm levers or 8mm mirrors.

mirrors

Had the same problem with my CL.

Had to make stainless inserts from 12mm bolts. I drilled and tapped the mounts for a 12mm thread, cut and drilled 12mm bolts with 8mm ID and installed them flush in the 12mm tapped holes.

Worked great and now I can use the 8mm mirrors with no worrys.

Good luck.
