    Hi all,

    My left hand wing mirror ball joint (where the mirror attached to the metal stalk) appears to be a little loose so when I'm riding at speed or over a particular bump it moves a little and needs readjusting on the move. Anyone had similar issue and found a good "Hack" for this? Cheers.

    Unfortunately the mirrors cannot be tightened from outside.  See my post below:
