    hi need some help-dropped my 2013 Thruxton last week and broke the fixture on bar end that mirror is attached to. I have remove bolt from inside fixture and it now can be rotated but i can't remove it- does it twist off or does it need forced?

    Do you mean you have bar-end mirrors, like I have on mine?

    If that is the case and you have removed the retaining bolt then all you should need to do is work it out. Whilst pulling on it, slowly rotate the fixture you want to remove, until it becomes free.

    Twist and pull; twist and pull.

    Whilst twisting and pulling , try some swearing, stamping and holding your breath! If that doesn't work tell her how lovely she is and you'll take her out on some nice country roads once she's all fixed up again. Hope you get it sorted
