Can anyone suggest where to find rubber plugs for the empty mirror hole mounts?

turn the mount upside down. Problem solved.

Hardware store.

melt some rubber and pour it in.  

Upgrade to Brembo GP radials.  ;)

Got'em for the Duke.  [evil]

Thanks.  

I really cant imagine how much better GP Radials would be over what I have now.  My bike stops on a dime as it is.

The radials will make your bike stop on a nickle.

The feel is very high on the GP masters - I like it a lot more than the stuff originally equipped - the axial masters are shite imo;  The oem radials are nice, but the grabiness because of ratio is not the best.

i have only played with the RCS system once. The clutch side felt like there was no resistance because of pivot adjustment and the aftermarket slave cyl. Brakes were same as GP's from initial grab, but I wasn't sure if there wasn't a bit of vagueness due to the extra parts for the pivot

And give you back some change.  :D

Change is good.  As long as its not the Obama type. [cheeky]

I agree 10000%

the change you get back is the kind of change you'll need to help pay off the bill for the GP Masters

Thats good. ;D

Ahhh.  They look so much better.  Thanks for the suggestion and cheap fix.   ;D

On my 696 turning them upside down created a gap between the two halves so I just ordered a replacement set intended for the Hypermotard. Problem solved  [thumbsup]

I noticed that too but there was a gap there before I flipped it so I just made it so the majority of the gap was on the lower part of the clamp so you hardly notice it.  If it does bother me its good to know that I can get ones from a Hypermotard.  Thanks for the tip.

Yea same here, still more appealing visually than the holes being visible though.

I'd rather have my holes hidden then plugged up.  8)

I have a pair of DP screw in alloy plugs if any one wants them, $10 including postage.

They where on a shelf in the back of the store, PM me... [thumbsup]

Note: they don't work on the 696/1100/SF series. Different thread diameter.

If you are talking about the old school ones that I found in the back of a display case at our shop too

Yes a m they are for the old style monster mirror brackets.. :-[

get black plugs from the hardware store or home depot or lowes, they will literally cost something like 1.29 after tax, and look almost factory stock.

i found that out with great disappointment recently.

Ok you know when you put a table together lets say a computer desk in this instance. You screw it all together and at the end you are left with plastic covers to hide the screws to make it all look flush. These are 'Perfect'!!! Just put a little bluetack on the end and push them in. This works fine and I had them on both bikes now totaling 3yrs+ , they never ever came loose even after weather and endless meticulous washing.  [thumbsup]

BTW- the ones at Lowe's are 5/16" for your bike.

for my 2007 S2R; the 5/16 are too small and the 3/8 are too big

thoughts?

I didnt even notice the removed mirrors had left holes until you guys gave me the idea that i could plug them

07 S2R 1K- I used door pannel fasteners from a Dodge that I bought at Kraagen for $2.50

If you really want to be anal about the whole thing...
