I hit some good railroad track bumps during our local rally and the left mirror snapped (haven't been around until lately to fix) - I searched for a PX mirror thread and also checked out Wiki and wasn't able to come up with the thread - thought someone had fixed their's with a good weld and want to do the same. Anyone? Maybe I'll just go the leg shield route after the right one snaps off too

ya, feels pretty similar to what I have read in the past - was hoping to find some pictures of a fix if they are out there... if not, not a huge deal as I'm actually starting to like using 1 mirror

I just had one snap on the Buddy a few weeks ago. It looked like it was a flaw in the casting. Too bad too..it was the original shorty on a Vintage Buddy 125 (2006)

Yeah, same on mine, left one too. Since I wasn't putting mirrors back on I left it for now, if I ever want to put them back on I;ll drill it out and re-tap,

However, Its for purely practical reasons. I use them a lot in commuter traffic. I use to have the original mirror on it, but I got a nice view of my arm, and nothing else. Whadda ya do? |
