Default Fairing Mirror Hole Covers

Previously replaced stock bars with reduced reach bars. Once new bars adjusted to preferred comfort level, my hands blocked about 1/3 of the fairing mirrors. So, removed the fairing mirrors and installed bar mounted mirrors.
Definitely did not care for the Kuryakyn plastic covers or the Arless Ness plugs so I came up with two possibilities: 1. use chrome instrument bezel over top of chrome speaker mesh to simulate tweeters matching the main speakers, or 2. Using antique-ish looking Live Free/Ride Free Medallions. Decided on the medallions.

Those look good. I used grip ends , and used epoxy to attach bolts too the ends, and then put rubber between them, and the faring.

I tend to agree but did not have much of a choice as to size due to previous owner having chrome/turn signal covers on the mirrors and drilled the necessary hole for the wiring too far away from the mounting holes to use anything smaller such as grip end caps.

From your handlebars to your fairing - there's way too much going on for my tastes.....
