Mirrors
Took my 06 out for a spin the other day and finally decided to "let her stretch her legs"
on a "closed"road of course.Happen to glance down at about "a buck fifty" and notice the mirrors are floppin in the breeze like a set of bird wings!!
Anyone else notice this? Nothing seems to be loose. Are block offs needed at higher speeds?
Would hate to break the mirrors off. Comments--Suggestions T.I.A.

Rock solid bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th...and surprisingly could still see a bit in them too. Check and see if they are tight?

Just need to be tightened that's all. The nut to tighten them is hidden on the bottom. You'll figure it out when you look at it.

My right one does that at about 130 and up. Tightened it up and still have that problem.

Both of my mirrors have moved one time or another while going over 165. You just simply pull the little sticky tabs off the mirror and tighten them up with a socket wrench. Can't remember the size of the socket off the top of my head. 7mm socket I believe. This should cure the mirror movement.
