    Loose mirror?

    My right hand wing mirror is slightly loose.

    as in anything 90km/h and above and it will move towards me and give me a view of GNUSOYH (thats hyosung backwards on the tank)

    how do i tighten it?

    Iff it is like mine there will be a nut on the thread below (and lose from) the main part of the mirror. Tighten this nut down.

    make sure you drain the oil first.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    dude.......lol. DON'T take off your mirrors, there's two little plastic caps which cover where the bolt-head is, you should be able to lift them with your thumb nail- or a small screw driver if you have to. The bolt is under that, you will need an allen key......

    if the whole mirror/stalk is rotating inwards then there IS a hinge bolt there that you can tighten. If its literally the mirror head itself then you can try removing the whole thing and putting the arm in a vice.
    Pull gently outwards and turn the head clockwise on the mirror head and its usually enough to put pressure on the nut inside the mirror to get it to tighten a bit
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
