No solution for mirror?

So I've run into a problem with the right side mirror--I cannot find a way to mount one. The Emgo mount that clamps to the bar that the FAQ suggested doesn't fit on the bar. The FAQ suggested getting a replacement for the front brake perch that has a mirror thread on it -- all the aftermarket ones have a different bolt pattern than the one on the bike. (They are straight up-and-down, which I guess is typical on a dirtbike, but on the EX250, the bolts are offset). Am I just screwed? Should I try and grind down the Emgo mount so that it's narrow enough to fit? Should I just get bar end mirrors? What did other people do?

    • Very nice. Can you make the photos any larger, I can't see all the details. (n/t) — iliveforcurves, Sat Mar 28, 2015 9:51 am
