    I am not denying it is, but that is with feet planted. Not astride a motorcycle you are trying to navigate.

    Compare the amount if force requires to drive a nail seated vs standing with good footing is the same but the effort is significantly more.

    Also mirrors are a giant hinge to reduce harm to a pedestrian in a horizontal impact. Really quite rigid vertically.

    Not when the mirror is mounted to a CF Moto650 fairing, Just brushed past it lightly and it fell off. Was only three 'push in' grommets holding it on. Even the wiring plug pulled apart.

    Maybe CF Moto expect you to suddenly become a pedestrian at any moment?

    It's not that hard - a quick downward thump with a clenched fist ... and it has no effect on the bike's handling .

    (Don't try it unless you are wearing gloves ... )
