So I just got this bike last week, and have put about 200 miles on it.

Funny thing is this morning I was planning on getting my state inspection done. Hop in my bike reach out to adjust my left mirror... and it falls off.

Not the whole arm, just the adjustable mirror part... What gives?

Now I have to wait for the part to be shipped.

'06 XB12R... thoughts?

Well, that's what you get for touching it!

Never even heard of that before.

FWIW, most states AFAIK only require one mirror.

Just an anomaly. This is the first report of a mirror falling apart in the two years I've been reading this site daily. Get the new one mounted and you'll be OK.

Every bike has something, be glad it was a mirror.

Got my new mirror on Friday... Bike was inspected... then I put 200 miles on her... the grin is still on my face.

Do motorcycles catch leprosy?
