Is there any way to tighten up the mirror swivels so that they will stay adjusted?

Black RTV Silicone under the boot around the joint after you get them adjusted to suite you. That is the only fix I have found!

My fix is red or blue loctite - it comes out liquid, so it "soaks in" a bit more than the RTV does. Think super glue but without the permanent positioning : )

I replaced my stock mirrors with Yamaha Snowmobile mirrors, they work great and you can't tell the difference from stock S2 mirrors. Do a search in the Knowledge Vault (tech, parts, apparel, & Accessories topics) type in snowmobile mirror and you will find the part numbers, and pictures.

Take a small punch and put a bunch of dimples in the swivel area--knurl it--worked for me.

Or find FAR Moto Accessori in Bologna Italy (spare me . . .you can't source them in the USA) and order a pair of Model 609's.


S-2 Mirrors


You guys gotta stop . . . everytime I go look for something to answer a post, I find something else. . . just uncovered 1998 RACE OF CHAMPIONS t-shirts a case of the good old Blue keychains and another package of the "still in the wrapper" S-2 1,000th Buell Built" shirts. . .
