Does anyone know the size of the bolt holes for the front blinker stems to screw into on a 1978 GoldWing?

I assume the bolt hole size is the same for a '76 as well? I had a thought of tapping a hole to mount a mirror to.

I recall the blinker holes are M12-1.5 (fine thread). The mirror holes are M10 fine thread.

Greg I used a 14X1.25 tap to clean up the thead in my fork ears with very little force to run the tap thu so can someone with the oem mounts check this out?
I found a 12 bolt to be way louse and a 14 to fit snug73 Patrick

They are indeed a M14 fine thread. If they were M12, I would have had the tap on hand to make my own signal mounts. Instead, I was beholden to factory parts (cant find fine thread metric bolts that large at the hardware store...)
