General topics » More Mirror Noise (Why Are These Different?)

A long while back, I posted (and then reincarnated) a request for information on the mirror assembly. I'd taken them off for a track day but forgot to keep track of which washers went where.

That's all cleared up now. No longer an issue. All good.

I'm seeing a bizarre difference between my left/right mounts. See the images.

The left is "floating between" the two bracings while the right is flush with the base.

I remember a while back hearing one of the washers "snap" into the respective outlet (right side).

It appears the washers did not settle into the correct position when you reinstalled the mirrors.
I checked both mirrors on both of our bikes and the gap is equal on both sides of the mirror stem.
I can see the black washer in one of your pictures.
I can't see the black washer on our bikes.

Edit: why did the impossible-to-translate German image uploader remove my pics?

Which adds a little to the confusion. I'll have to look again and see whether it's the black washer that's causing the trouble or the silver.

Already I'm devising a hack fix. denser silver washer, perhaps.

So it goes.

Okay, here's a big question:

You say you see the BLACK washer but actually that's the silver washer. From bolt to mirror threads (bottom to top), I have the bolt, the black washer, through the bracket, into the silver and into the mirror.

Did I get this wrong?

Yup. That's what I did too.

Something's awry with mine. The bracket has a recess at both points where the washers are introduced. A while back, like at the beginning of the year, I heard a "click" while tightening ... as if the washer had "snapped" into place in a way that wasn't correct.

I'm considering the purchase of a slightly thicker washer to solve the problem.
