    My threads became too loose to hold the mirrors so I tossed them and added bar end mirrors. I love the lower look it gives the front end, an instant cafe racer look for my Seca.

    Just a clarification on threads, there are right hand threads and there are left hand threads; NF=national fine, NC= national course. Then there is metric, and they also have tight and left hand threads. Go to a store like Harbor Freight or even Sears will carry the taps you need.
