Hey all, After replacing my stock mirrors on my 1300R, I noticed they vibrated quite a bit. Not as bad as some maybe, but still enough to be an annoyance. I could tell a vehicle was behind me, but not a lot more.
So, I first removed the mirrors from the shell. Then I got a tube of kitchen and bath caulk from my local big box, and put half the tube contents in the lowest part of the shell on each mirror. After drying overnight, the caulk was skinned over, but still quite pliant. I expect it to harden further as time goes by.
Anyway, I put the mirrors back in the shells, and took it for a test ride. WOW!!!! Although nothing will totally eliminate the vibration, I can honestly say it is better than the stock mirrors when it was new.
What a difference. Not only can I see vehicles behind me, but I can tell whether its a car or truck, whatever, AND I can see it quite clearly.
Best of all the fix cost me less than $5, and only took the drying time to complete. Try it if your mirrors vibrate. It may help, and sure can't hurt.:bleh:
