Re: sr 250 cafe - rachel a trick to clean frames of old paint and powder...a propane powered weed burner...it will burn all the paint off and then you just brush it clean..... Mike

you can also hold the expansion piece with some pliers and a rag(loosly so you dont bend it as it expands) prior to putting the mirror in and turn the screw till it expands enough to be a tight press into the bars...then the expansion piece will catch the inside of your bars and start to tighten...
