You should weigh the effort to remove the plug vs. the effort to modify the mirror mount. I ended up just shaving a little off the mirror but yours may be different. Either way, its a small demolition job...Any idea how to get the plug out that is pressed or welded into the end of the handlebars? I removed the Phillips screw easily with a small electric impact, but the plug that stock bar end screws into needs to be removed for my mirror. Maybe just peel the grip back and get a good set of pliers on it to work it loose?
Can you try like Eurobeaner suggests above and, instead of the expansion plug (just toss that part of it), just use the stock screw through the mirror end cap in to the bar plug?My mirror actually has its own plug that goes into the handlebar and then spreads out and tightens down when you screw the mirror in. So I either need to remove the stock plug or order new mirrors :/
Push? Hell, I ride through straight through them in 3rd!....It's nice to still be able to push the Grom through doorways or tight passages if need be....
