Wing Mirrors Fold in at Speed - Help

[PeteTW]

Hey All

 

My V11's rh mirror (useful in the UK!)has started to fold in in at about 60mph (100Kph)...has anyone had this and come up with some sort of solution other than buying a new mirror. I can't block it permanently because I need to fold it back to get up the side of my house. This is probably why it has come loose!

 

Also does anybody know of an after market mirror in a shorter stem that I could use but not have to fold back every time I squezze up the back passage

 

Thanks Pete

Hi Is it the 'glass' part or the arm itself? threadlock or something similar? if you do need a new mirror the ones from wemoto look very much like the originals but vibrate much less!

Did you tighten the allen head under the rubber stalk cover? Or is it the swivel on the mirror itself? Either way, Buell used the same mirrors on a few different bikes. Can't remember which ones exactly, but on one model they are the same length, and on another they're an inch longer, which alot of guys (myself included) were using for added visibility. A forum search here should turn up the info.

Post some pics... Also, if it has a rubber dust boot, move it out of the way and show us a pic there too.

Smply tightened up the nuts... my previous bike's wing mirrors wouldn't do that

 

Sorry!
