    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well I've been having my issues with mirrors on the FZ. The stock ones, mounted on the fairing don't extend out far enough to see anything other than my shoulders. After four or five attempts at making extenders, I finally have some that work somewhat. At certain speeds and revs, I can see fairly clearly. At others, its just one big blur.

Now what makes it interesting is that I put on some $3 blind spot mirrors to augment what I see and very strangely, they do not go blurry at any speed.

Now why is this I ask myself. The stock mirrors seem fine, the glass is firmly fixed and the joints are quite tight and yet there is still serious movement.

Now I read somewhere about drilling the "case" holding the glass and filling it with bbs or even silicone calms down the shakes but I have no experience with this and as I only have one set of mirrors I don't want to bugger them.

Anyone have any knowledge or experience to share?

Cheers,
Spyug

sorry couldn't resist....

I had a set of mirrors where the lead weight inside was vibrating. So I drilled a hole and started filling with that expandable foam crap. Made a Hell of a mess when the mirror exploded. Would have made a funny video.......:D
