Mirror Arm Caps

[qasamm]

OK, feel silly posting this in ShopTalk but it really bothers me and I am puzzled:hun:.

The black caps on the mirror arms (between the body bushing and the pivot point of the arms) seem to pop out when I look at them sideways. Is there a secret to securing these in place?

I added the KewlMetal extensions but I can't see how this changes anything.

Thanks for any insight.

The KM extensions don't have the little groove that the plastic pieces snap into. On mine, I had to trim the plastic pieces a bit (ends) and then used black RTV to glue them in.

Dohhh, I just read the full how-to thread (not just the original post) and saw this.

Don't feel too bad, I lost mine quite a while ago with just the stock mirror set up. I believe they fell out on the road somewhere. :dontknow: I have not bothered asking for replacements either.

I never bothered to reinstall after installing ESI's up and out mirror extensions. It looks fine to me without them; but, that's just me.

One of mine fell out like a week after I got the bike -- floppy mirrors. I recently installed the up and out mirror extensions and just left the other side off.

You can glue them in but eh... It's minor enough to me that I didn't bother.

Thanks to all your comments, I used a little emblem glue on mine after I converted to the up & outs. hyea:

I threw mine away...what's the point? They have no function...nobody even notices them...
