Mirror Stem Length

I want to ditch the right side mirror on my '06 Street Bob. Problem is, it is holding up my indicator. I figured I would take the mirror off and replace it with a bolt - should do the trick I imagine.

Would anyone know the size / length bolt I would need to use? I imagine it is in the service manual or perhaps someone has a stock set of mirrors laying around and could measure for me. I know I could take it off and see but then I would have to put it back on to go to the store only to come home to take it right back off.

Much appreciated...

A 5/16-24 is what you need to thread into the turn signal. 1 3/4" length would probably work, but I'll let you measure and decide for yourself on length.

It really doesn't take that long to take it off, measure, and then re-install. Or you could just buy a 1.5, 1.75, and 2 inch bolts. They are cheap and you woundn't have to worry about making a second trip. I know how bad traffic can be in Austin...so you won't want to make more than one trip.
