    Someone said there is a adjustment to stop this, but I don't see any way to adj these mirrors. There is a small hole but it doesn't seem to do anything when I put a screw driver in it. the only adj I see is the Allan bolt for the mirror to go back and forth. I bought a new mirror that did fix the problem, I don't understand why it isn't adjustable , other motorcycle do have adj mirrors.:mech:

    side mirrors tend to lose adjustability when 500 lbs of VFR routinely come crashing down on them.

    The solution is to adjust the motorcycle. This is done by removing one of the sparkplugs, starting the bike and poking a large screwdriver into the hole.

    well, you need to bring your bike to billy for adjustment first. I'm sure he'll gladly perform the necessary procedure in exchange for a kitty casserole and bottle of decent Chianti

    as usual, no one knows how to fix anything here- my old mirror is now fixed by the Grocery Butcher who knows how to fix motorcycle mirrors . I won't tell you how!
