help me again please, when I am in riding position I cannot see the traffic behind me, and the mirrors on my newly acquired 1125r seem to be spring loaded, but when I look under the rubber boot on the arm there is no spring to be found, no adjustment point at all, for that matter... | ||

Can't move them, the actual mirror is adjustable inside. They vibrate like crazy also. Some guys have used silacone to lock them in place after they are happy. You not have the manual? The search on this site works quite well also. | ||

push on the glass, then you will be able to see your elbows/forearms. actually seeing traffic will require barends, or a look over the shoulder | ||

The glass inside the mirror housing is on a ball socket, the best you can hope for is a good clear view of your elbow and a bit of the rear of the bike... | ||

Gently push on the mirror glass to adjust as desired. A washer between the faring and fairing mount will push them out an extra degree, which for me was enough to clear my elbows. | ||

The 08's operated on a different system but the 09 mirror stalks have a spring loaded cam system. On mine, I pulled the mirror stalk forward until there was a gap between the two cam plates. Then I stuck a pin in the gap and let the spring tension close the gap back up and trap the pin. This causes the mirrors to be held a bit forward of the normal position and allows them to then be adjusted to view traffic in the adjacent lanes behind me. The pin I used was cut from the shaft of a dremel bit. I think it was 3/32" (?) | ||

Loosen the cinch bolts for the brake and clutch perches and rotate the entire assembly forward or back a bit- a little goes a long way here. I rotated my brake lever down just a tad last year as I could not get the right side view past my elbow. Works fine now, and no real discernible change in lever position to your fingers (requires only a really small adjustment). Follow Jules advice on the mirror brackets- they are not adjustable. | ||

It's an R. Mirrors are on the fairing. Moving the perches won't do squat. The mirrors adjust like your car, the glass moves inside the housing. | ||

Ah... drat! I didn't catch that at the top... sorry  | ||

For the "wandering arm" syndrome, you can: peen the large rivet with a hammer/anvil and make it rigid, OR you can replace the rivet with a nut/bolt, OR you can add Superglue to the joint. Or you can do like I did and get rid of them and replace them with Firebolt mirrors and run the turn signals to the front running lights. Zack |
