I bought my 620 a couple of years ago from a friend, and before I bought it they broke the base of the mirror off in the stock location.  Does anyone know how to get it out, or should I go to a NAPA place and get a drill bit to drill it out?  Everyone who goes to this site is amazing, thanks

This site is bad for me.....It makes me want to spend thousands of dollars that I do not have XD

Are you talking about where the mirror stem threads into the little clamp on the handlebar?

Watch out cause the right mirror has left-handed threads, so if you want to drill it out and run a tap through, you'll have to track down a left-handed tap! [bang]

A photo or a better description would be helpful.

cutting a slot in whats left of the bolt so you can use a big flat bladed driver has worked for me in the past.

A dremel and a steady hand are your Friends.

pics would help alot

sounds like someone didn't KNOW it was a left-handed thread, and make the beast with two backsin snapped it off in there.
i almost did it too.
