side view mirror adjustment

[clintstearns]

Hey guys, I've noticed that my side veiw mirrors get out of adjustment really easily. Even the wind at highway speeds will sometimes do this. Is there an easy way to tighten them down? Thanks!

Take the mirror off of the fairing. There is an adjustment screw on the bottom.

Pull them off, underneath is a screw that may be loose, tightening it even a little may work, or if it is tight you may be able to pull the screw and add a thin washer so the spring is tighter.
My screw was loose , never tried the washer.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the quick reply!

With luck those screws will tighten, the only other option is new aftermarket($30 a pair approx.) or Fleabay. Oh yeah, if you do end up replacing get them both replaced at the same time. I lost a mirror due to a tip over and the replacement I found didn't match the original. The stem between the base and the mirror had a different angle and IT DROVE ME NUTS! Then again you may not be crazy anal about these things like me. I measure the distance between the edge of my airwings and the fairing so they are exactly the same. :roll:
