Default fairing mount mirrors
Just installed a set of the fairing mount mirrors. Love the looks and also like the view out of them. I can see much better than I expected. My left mirror has a little vibration in it, The right one is great. Any ideas on a possible fix? Or is this normal to have a little vibration in them? I did notice the head of it is not as tight for the adjustment of the mirror over the other side. Thanks for your help.

I have the same. The left is a tad bit looser than the right and tends to vibrate a little more.

This is a little too coincidental(spelling?).
When I had my Fatboy, it was always the left mirror that gave me trouble and vibrations.
Kinda weird.

No problems with mine either. Next ride I will pay more attention to determine any vibration.

I would guess you over tightened the side that is vibrating - I did the same thing - I know it seems opposite of logic but as soon as I loosened the vibrating side they were both perfect - Luckily I took it for a test spin before I put the batwing back on

Thanks guy's I may need to loosen the screws alittle. The directions said to tighten them until I see one thread showing. May have gone to far.
