The mirror moves inside of the "frame" similar to the mirrors on your cage. A bead of silicone connecting the mirror to the frame takes out 90% of the vibes (so i've read)
The stalk and housing really don't vib much.

but if you silicone inside... you won't be able to adjust your mirror...

that's why you set it before you silicone it.
and with just a bead around the edge, you could always cut it and readjust it.

ehh... I adjusted my mirrors alot on long trips... depending on how I'm riding... laid on the tank... sitting up... ect... also when I had my bags on I had them turned out a bit more as I couldn't really see behind me so I turned them out to get a wider FOV...

up to you though... but you might try just stuff'n some foam under one edge... see if that helps... not as pretty... but easier to adjust

i don't plan on doing anything. i just deal with the blur.

Are the CR turn signals in the mirrors? I'm guessing yes. Shitty.

Yes.
and i've heard they are as bad w/vibes as the R's

Super Shitty. I like bar end mirrors. Much cooler....and you can actually see whats behind you.

Mr Lefty · 02-03-2009, 05:43 PM

yeah... I hear ya Marko... but with the extensions... I had no issue seeing behind me... and I like the signals being up higher.

I'd rather be forced to tuck an elbow or look over my shoulder and have better visibility for those dumb fuck's who are about to turn out in front of me.

I assume ppl won't see me anyway...so I dont care about the signals being up high.
