First post here on Katriders.com figured since I got my Kat put back together and running to the point I can ride it I qualify as a rider finally.
I have an 03 600 Kat that the previous owner tried to feed a deer to. He got down to around 30mph and then the deer turned, ran right at him and tried to vault the rider + bike. Well it didn't make it, took the rider right off the back of the bike and totally destoryed the front fairings+hardware above the handle bars. Bike made it another 30-40ft without a rider before it pitched over on the right side breaking the entire rear frame cover, tail light etc etc.
Long story short I've got what was broken either patched, replaced, or cut off. Bike now has the stripped down street fighter front end with a 1/2 fairing setup (go go die grinder). I have a generic pair of bar mounted mirrors but they really suck for viewing angle. I would like to install a set of bar end mirrors but the previous owner completely rounded out the phillips heads in the bar end weights. The question I have is, are the stock 03 kat bar weights held in by an expanding collet system or does that phillips run through the weight and thread into a weld in nut that is inside of the handle bar? Any suggestions on bar end mirrors that work with the stock Kat bars?
