Mirror vibration

[CO_pathfinder]

Quick question for y'all: Does anybody else have problems with the driver side mirror at highway speeds vibrating so much that the car behind you is so blurry that you rub your eyes?

Only on my 688 dual sport thumper....

Way to brag Brian

I'm guessing that it's probably dirt in the wheels, or the fact that I'm convinced that my rotors are warped haha.

Do you know if there is any way to tighten the mirror to the body?

Never has to do it but you might find some info on it in the Body section of the FSM.... I wasn't bragging really, just anyone who has ridden a big cc thumper knows vibration and how useless rear mirrors can be. On them you use bar weights and rubber isolators to control mirror vibrations.

Two screws underneath the mirror, have a habit of becoming loose, at least on my one they do.

way late reply, my bad. Thanks for the input man, totally solved the issue. Now to deal with the timing belt and the smashed radiator that is blocking my access....

Well then, what was the problem, and how did you solve it?

Last one was a 1994 XR650L. Mirrors were fine unless the engine was running, then they would give you seizures if you looked in them...

So true.... I can tell there is a car/ truck/something back there by the blur......
