Oh yeah! Worse, come to worst, I found THESE. It's just been so stinking long since Ive had the instrument panel cowling on the scoot that, I'm not sure if given the way that it goes together allows for for these to be used. EDIT: No, after looking at the details on these again, "Package Included: 2x 10mm-8mm Mirror Adapter (10mm is Female Thread Turn Right side to Tight, 8mm is Male thread are the turn LEFT side to tight)" Left side to tight, no workie! Maybe something similar, if I am forced to use a 10mm hole M.C.

BUMMER!! It is strange that your mirror holders are 8mm and all the ones out there so far are 10mm. Well good luck maybe it will not leak.

Yes, I got a "Step-child", lol! I've seen other M.C's with 8mm holes but they are all different from mine as to where the banjo bolt connects, what switch type, etc; OR I find the correct one but, it's not in stock. I'll be bleeding that line again, today. Hopefully, it will hold under pressure.

That's a good idea! Like, filling the holes with JB weld then tapping it. I had considered drilling a 10mm hole into the base of the mirrors and reinforcing them around the outside. I'm a bit skeptical of how strong the composite that they seem to be made of, could hold up. The MC that is an item above the ones that you linked to, struck me as possibly correct but, when I emailed about them (Since, I get a "404" error upon selecting the item) I get no reply about it. So, I gots options! Just not "Stock" options so far. Thanks Alleyoop!

Yes that is one that is the right one with 8mm mirror holder BUT they only have the LEFT for the rear brake. I did not see one for the right side front brake. THIS IS TO FIX A STRIPPED OUT 8mm threaded hole.

The left side is the one that I do need. But, I can't get them to reply to my inquiry. I have found a couple of right sides out there, the left is always out of stock when I locate it. I'm hoping this seal kit holds now and that I don't need to do anything just yet. I bled the brake and its not leaking again, as of yet ! I do have a thread tap for 8 and 10mm, I got them to clean threads on the bike as I went along . Let's hope, this one holds

99 percent of the dealers do not know squat about the parts they sell.

SO TRUE! I've found that out the hard way. But when you click on the listing for that one, an error page "404" comes up so just knowing if they have it would be a great start, lol!

Several ways to contact, they do not have a store they are wholsellers and get parts from distibutors. Maybe they will respond two ways to quiry them, Sales or Ebay user. www.scooterparts4less.com/How_to_buy.htm

Thanks, Alleyoop . It seems that they aren't listed on Ebay anymore but, I re-sent my email SOOOOOOO, she's all buttoned up for now, for her maiden voyage around in the parking lot tomorrow. I have a few minor things to do still; Foot tape, mirrors, license plate but hopefully, won't discover anything major on the first ride. She starts up quickly and sounds smooth! MAAAAN! that console was majorly frustrating to put back together. Its a little warped but... who isn't ?!
