I wanted to start a thread on how to install the brackets if you chose to obtain your own mirrors and just purchased the bracket kit. They are not difficult but there are some tips and tricks that make the conversion less frustrating.
1. You need a vise! Unless you bolt the szazbo bracket to a large piece of wood you will not be able to perform the conversion. Go to your local Harbor Freight and buy a vise, use it then return it if you are not convinced you need one.
2. Ok So here we go. Pull back the rubber boot and slide it up the shaft on the mirror to expose the pop rivet that needs to be drilled out. Clamp the original S1000 mirror base into a vise and take the ¼ inch drill and drill out the rivet head so you can remove the flat washer behind it. You might need a screwdriver to convince the washer to come off.
