Guest philbo Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I was riding home this afternoon (at around 80 mph) and I noticed that the mirror on the right hand side was out of alignment. By the time I went to reach my left hand over to adjust it, the bloody thing fell off and went crashing down the road. I didn't bother going back for it 'cause I figured it would have been pretty much dead anyhow but on closer inspection when I got home, I found that everything was intact, there is a shaft comming out with a compression spring, a washer and a 10mm lock nut. Looking at the left mirror, I can't figure out how you would remove or otherwise replace the head section (the black plastic bit with the mirror in it) either way - likewise I can't figure out what broke. Has this happened to anyone else or did I just have a dodgy mirror? Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think that part was assembled before they pressed the mirror in.. anyway, they are pretty much non-repairable but easily replacable. follow this thread and save some money with a Buell FB mirror upgrade.. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Well you have options now... Of course you can order the replacment form MG, pay $70+ something for it, and then wait until Luigi can find one in a parts bin to send your way.. My guess a several weeks.. But you could get lucky since they are high consumption items and have it a week or so, and get to keep your elbos in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
