Jeesh, what are you up to this time. Me thinks you are getting as bad as me with these new ideas.
Hmmm... a bolt in a cup. My guess is something for a pit stand to grab on to. Threads look too small for a spark plug. Some sort of bar end mount. The possibilities....

I love the Napolean bar end mirrors. What i don't like is having to move my head to check them. They're just too far out there and just out of my pariphial vision. So I jumped on the Smithy and turned up some risers/adaptors.
I feel much safer being able to just move my eyes a little and not my hole head to to get a rear view.
Vintage version...
I think the threaded extender adapter works great.
It gets the mirror away from the rider's hand a bit more and typically there is a bonded rubber insert that cuts down on vibration that causes fuzzy mirror images.
Here is an older version that works for me.

My left hand switch gear is a generic after market clutch lever and has a hole which I tapped to 7/16-14. The right side is an after market master cylinder from MikeXS and also has a threaded hole. This was a left thread that I made to a 7/16-14 also.jaydee75 said:

That's a neat little adapter. I guess I kind of have an adaptation of that adapter. I bet people would appreciate a source for it. Where did you get it?

Great idea. I applaud you for addressing what I consider to be a serious safety issue. I'm sure everyone knows that having to turn your head, even for a split second, can make a huge difference in reaction time when it comes down to a crash avoidence situation. Now I'm curious as to why the mirror manufacturers wouldn't want to include something like that as an optional mounting method?
