Hi Guys,
Does anyone know the size of the bolt to use in the mirror bolt holes? I've removed mine in preference of some oberon streetfighters I have - I'd like to fill them in before they rust like a b'stard! Cheers |

10mm diameter, though I'm not certain of the thread pitch.
This is a K7 and not an SK7, I assume. |

I reckon they're of the M6 variety, might be wrong though.

Why not just put a blind grommet in there?

Yup, SV650 K7
I wanted to put bolts back into these holes incase of corrosion. Should I sell the bike in the future, I'll remove the expensive additions, and reattach the old mirrors, so if I put some bolts in there, that will at least help prevent it getting completely knackard should a bit of water get in. Now to find somewhere that does black allen bolts! |

Actually, rubber plugs in those holes ain't a bad idea because it ends up looking very neat and tidy, and I really doubt corrosion will be a problem.
I've seen and owned bikes that went years with those holes/threads exposed and yet a mirror was able to be threaded into it on a moment's notice. The metal is aluminum, anyway, ain't it? |
