Kuryakyn 1759 Framed Hand Mirror with Black Head and Chrome Stem

I love how these mirrors look on my bike. In terms of functionality, they do their job satisfactorily, but they can have a slightly smaller field of view and are slightly less resistant to shock than standard mirrors. Threadlocker, but if you're unfamiliar with metric bikes DEFINITELY DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE: I usually make my own setups and the setup concept was a little overwhelming - I didn't think twice when I dived right in, I had no problems setting up and fixing the left mirror with no problems. The problem arose when I tried to remove the stock right hand mirror from my master cylinder without thinking twice about the metric implications (my poor apology being the first non-US bike). I noticed that the locknut for the right rearview mirror was sticking, and I tightened it a little until I frustrated myself and pulled out a large 24-inch torque wrench, which did a quick (but not perfect) job with the stock mounting bolt. - Cut completely flush into the hole in the master cylinder. I needed this and started drilling out the bolt before I found out my stupidity (and yes I know I was stupid): MAIN CYLINDER INPUT AND REGULAR OUTPUT on my Yamaha cruiser. It's different from the other side and it stunned me - I hope my mistake can save someone at least a few minutes of frustration. Remember, for a right hand mirror, make sure you use the 'correct' (correct) mounting screw and beware of left, tight, right, weak threads on specific bikes/sides! the remains of a sheared screw (couldn't find an easy way out for the reverse thread!). However, the item was great and had all the necessary equipment, I recommend!
