It's for the Fz1, was going to get mirrors back on there but finding the end bar ones that were on it when I picked it up yesterday very good  :)

I used something like this to block up the holes on my FZ8 after I fitted bar end mirrors..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Black-Blanking-End-Caps-Round-Ribbed-Tube-Inserts-UK-Stock-/311377996220?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=610465292322&hash=item487f9329bc

Just have a measure up and get the size and quantity you need..  I had to trim the 'threaded' part down a little but they've been in over a year with no problem..

probably only be a couple of quid with a couple of spares if you cock one up trimming it down..

just found a pic..

Looks perfect, will double check but think the 10 mm should do it  :)
Thanks for that mate.

no probs..

there are loads of different versions on ebay.

When I looked for mine I tried the match the diameter of the head to the fitting and then just trimmed down the 'threaded' part to fit the hole..

hope you find the right size.
