    loose mirrors on 1150es fairing

    One of the mirrors on my 1150es always needs adjusting. It gets loose if I am on the highway. Is there a way to tighten them up? I took one off but did not see anything like set screws or anything like that. All help as always will be greatly appreciated..........................skip

    Don't quote me on this but I remember seeing a broken mirror at the wreckers and it had a spring & nut assembley behind the glass. Don't asked me how u pull it apart without it breaking.

      Unfortunately the mirrors on an 1150 are not able to be tightened , unless you can find a glass company who can remove the mirror lenses and replace them for you. I found that coating the ball at the stem of the mirror in a non-setting gasket cement provided that little touch more staying power I needed as mine were also forever shifting about.

        If you can get the mirror in position and find a way to keep it in that position to remove it you could try a drop of Super Glue in the pivot area.
