I thought the hole was 8mm diameter? I'm probably wrong...

I think you need one for the bike to be legal.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I hate riding without mirrors, but i have to do it right now until i can get some. Looking behind you every so often is a pain in the *. I usually ride on backroads just enjoying the scenery and if someone comes up behind me i'll pull over and let them pass. The other day a truck passed me that i didn't know was behind me and it scared the s*** out of me.

Bummer. Were you able to clean the seat cover or are you going to have to get a new one?

The seat cover was fine, had to trash the pants though.

I bought 8MM mirrors off ebay for my Aero and they are great.

Only thing is the way they are bent isn't exactly right, so I can't get the best view behind me, but I can see a * of a lot more than I could without them.
I think I'm going to try and bend them a little more to get a better view.

They were 20 shipped and slid into 8mm perfectly.

If you stick a #2 wooden pencil down in the hole and it touches the threads on the inside then you have 8mm. There are also conversion kits to go from 8mm to 10mm, which would open up a lot more options for mirrors off ebay.
