    Does anyone know how to fit OEM handlebar mirrors for a 2006 Bonneville.

    I have the weight ends off the handlebars but the instructions for the new mirrors say i should attach to the handlebar using 2 washers and a spacer...but there is no room for the spacer and it won't fit. If i do it without the spacer it will screw into the handlebar but just flop about?

    Hi and welcome to the forum. I fitted bar end mirrors to my Bonneville by removing the inserts in the bars to accommodate the mirror fitting. If you need to do this it can be done by hitting the inserts at the top and bottom with a big screwdriver to break the weld.

    Hi Andreas, I fixed my bar-end mirrors by using the same screw that held in the bar-end cover plates. See attached pic :

    Daves are different to the Halcyon ones I had, which have a longer fitting of the sort that screws into itself and expands within the bar to create a tight fit.

    That's the same fitting as came with my mirrors, I just didn't use it.
