D'oh! Of all the installs, I didn't take pics of this one because I thought, "This is such a small, quick install". Turned out that it took more thought to install the right mirror than it did to install the Leo Vince slip-ons.

I had a threaded hole for the bar weighted ends too (hopefully you can tell from the diagram below to see if it's like your bike). On the bars, there was just enough room to mount the mirror. The tricky one was the throttle side because while I could just shove the left mirror on and tighten the bar end not having to worry about the grip getting a tiny bit smooshed, I had to leave a little space for the throttle side so that grip could move easily back into idle position. To do this, I used some washers to space out the right bar end so that it wouldn't shove the mirror mount into the grip. Take a closer look at the first pic that I posted, that shiny silver thing in between the mirror mount and the bar end is one of the washers.
