Ok, this is only the most minor of minor little tiny miniature negligible niggles.
My N/S mirror is rock solid, at any speed, under any conditions. My O/S mirror shakes like a jelly, vibrating so I can hardly see in it.
Any tips on preventing this?

Re: Mirror vibrations!
I found doing my valve clearances cured mine, now the engine is running silky smooth they hardly vibe at all. There should be some rubber splints that sit over the H frame where the mirror is bolted on, are they there? You could try tightening or slackening the bolts off.

Re: Mirror vibrations!
The rubbers are there on both sides - I have tried tightening the bolts, but not loosening - the theory being that the rubbers will then absorb more of the vibrations, Rob?

Re: Mirror vibrations!
i get mega vibes through my mirrors, frame, seat, ass......................i think doin valve clearances to stop the mirror shaking is a bit extreme, tried removing the mirror to see if stops shaking?

Re: Mirror vibrations!
yeah valve clearances is extreme ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Tightening could make it worse because you are compressing the rubber, and if you carry on compressing it, it will actually become harder. Bit like squashing a spring till you cant compress it any more.

I removed the offending mirror, took it in the house for safe keeping only to find that it was shaking across the table.......
