    Stuck mirror

    While waiting for my intake manifolds to be delivered, I turned my attention to the handlebars and swapping out the one old mirror for my two new (shiny) ones.

    Unfortunately the old mirror refuses to be parted fom the handlebars. Any advice?

      Turns out it was seized completely and has since broken off.

      Now do I drill out the remainder, try and replace that part of the master cylinder, or replace the master cylinder completely?

          or just try to fix what you already have. There are no rules.

            Post a picture when you can...visuals help with making decisions on these sorts of problems.

            If it's unfixable, there are plenty of relatively affordable replacement options. There was somebody parting out their 650L recently. I know they had the left hand assembly available, not sure about the right
