Default Replacing stock street glide mirrors

Looking for some feedback or ideas for filling in my stock mirror holes. How about some type of audio addition. Like extra tweeters...etc...If you have any ideas or pic's please share. I see the little chrome accessory Kuryaken sales, but that looks cheezy IMO.

If you take a look on Ebay they offer black plugs, not sure if they are a Harley item or not. Guess you could put tweeters there if you use an adjustable mount to direct the imaging.

I have just gotten my 09 and i can't see #$%@ in the mirrors, only my knuckles . I have put short stem mirrors on and love them. I took them off my Deuce to see if that is what i wanted to do and it is. The bike is in shop for warranty work and i will have them remove the stock mirrors. Saying all that to say i have heard on here of getting plugs at Lowes and Home Depot and maybe even Ace Hdwe.

"Küryakyn" is "cheezy" in Chinese. That's how they came up with the name.

Tweeters do look allright there.

I used the "plastic fender plugs" I found at Lowes. They do make a couple just the right size to cover both holes.

On a car they just push in but on the fairing I used a nut on the back side. They will tighten up real nice.

I went to lowes fastener isle and found a drawer marked automotive. They have fender plugs for a Chrysler that will cover both holes but the stem is too small. I put a few rounds of electrical tape on the stem and pushed them in. Great fix for less than $1.00. I found the info on this site somewhere.

Default Poker Chips

Had the same dilemma and didn't like any of the after market parts so came up with this idea.

Used a 3/8 x 16 x 1-1/2 Elevator Bolt, a Poker Chip from the local Harley dealer and the stock nut used from the stock mirror.

The elevator bolt gives you a flat service wide enough to cover both holes in the fairing. I also used some silicone to help with preventing moister getting inside the fairing.

Mount the the elevator bolts first, then apply supper glue to the head of the elevator bolt and the back side of the poker chip.

Position the poker chip (or other idea) where you want it and allow to sit for a few seconds.

Oh yea make sure your fingers are not glued to the poker chip
