anyone know how (or if) the metal stem can be removed from the plastic mirror cases on the F2 type of mirror, (on the ball joint side)i want to shotblast and repaint the stems and also polish the plastic case, .....so much easier if the bits are seperate,............im sick of spinning them so i doubt they are on a thread? dunno maybe im just missing something basic, they had to be put together in the first place ! but bugger me if i can get em apart!

cheers in advance for the advice from someone who dosnt have fingers like cows tits like me !

HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL,

i bought a few crap ones just to try and get them apart m8 n not bothered if they got knackered,just wanted to see how they were put together.

Im f**ked if i could get the front off to get to a nut inside.
Im guessing they are bolted then the front glass is snapped on and doesnt come off again

If YA can't ride it Park it!!

I own a 2 stroke which is bad .....but i buy dolphin friendly tuna so i feel im doin my bit for the environment
