Title: Caps for threaded holes in handlebars assembly
Post by: rscottlow on May 17, 2016, 11:29:06 AM
Does anyone know where I can find some black caps to put in the spot where the mirrors screw into the handlebars? I can't imagine them costing much, and it seems like it would give the bike a much more polished look.

Just about any decent hardware store...Not the Home Depot / Lowes kind of hardware store...more of the local hardware store...

Or you can order the OEM Suzuki ones from a parts website like bike bandit or partzilla. Even those can't be more than $2 each. Order them next time you need other parts.

JB Weld.....

Kidding. Probably have them by the bucket on ebay. But don't they make Ram mounts that fit in those holes? Would be good for a GoPro or something....

Haha! The bike actually had a ram mount on the handlebars already when I bought it, so no need for another one...I haven't even used the one I have yet lol.

Thank you...I don't know why I didn't think of that. I need to pick up a new Suzuki emblem sticker thing that goes on the engine cover anyway...I've been waiting until I need to buy other items to make the shipping cost worth my while on a $13 part.
