So I was an idiot this weekend and managed to drop the bike (2001 R1150RT) on its side (so, so dumb how I did it; first time dropping a bike like that in decades).
I broke the left mirror.
MOST of the actual plastic housing seems fine; the mirror piece is broken.

46 63 7 652 611 - Left Mirror Glass
So I'm going to buy one of these mirror pieces ($75)
The OTHER problem is that the little nipple clamp things that hold the mirror to the body:

... are not great. Some bent up pretty good. One is holding well, but the mirror definitely is not as secure as before.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any "fixes" for these things? I don't see them as a separate part, so it seems to properly fix I really need to buy the whole mirror assembly (for another $250 ouch!), so would like to see if there's any way to fix this up better.
