Loose Mirror
Noticed that my throttle side mirror is loose. Bolt is tightened but mirror is still almost loose to the touch.
Any suggestions?
Also, I have to fold the mirrors back to put the bike cover on.

the glass has adhesive holding it on...maybe put it in the oven and then gently pry it off. the bolt is behind the glass. There is a big spring loading the adjustment bolt so its seems funny it would be that loose. I got a OEM mirror on ebay for $ 20.00 just in case you brake it they can be found. watch out for the fake ones!

My bad.
Talking about where it pivots when you fold it back for storage. The pivot bolt is as tight as I can get it without stripping it.
I've had to fold the mirrors back a lot over time, so I'm wondering if there is a lock washer or something that may have flattened out over time?
