For those of you that have removed the stock mirrors on the XBS and went for the bar-end look, what did you use to cover the holes left from the stock mirrors?

I just used the proper metric bolt, ( I forget the size), and then painted them black.

Just bring the mirror to the hardware store, find a nut that fits, ( 8mm / 1.25 or something like that), and get two short bolts of that threading.

You can get the plugs that are used on the 12R models. There is a part number for them and they can be ordered in pairs.

I picked up the 12R plugs at the local HD dealer, but if you use them, be careful, I broke mine when I put them in and my hubby ended up having to take them out and put in some plugs that he picked up at Lowes.

on mine one of the plugs was longer than the other which goes into the deeper hole in the control.

I used the plugs from the 12R too. Local Harley shop had them in stock, and they were really cheap!!
