Pry off the plastic cap on the housing at the base of the mirror's stem (located on top of the handlebar housing) to find the screw. Use an allen key to tighten or loosen the stem - it's threaded just the opposite of conventional.

The left side mirror is conventionally threaded and the nut is on the bottom of the stem. Go figure.

Need Help with '01 R1150GS Mirror

My right side mirror was hit today and is still in place and freely rotates. What steps do I take to repair or is this a replacement. Confused in MPLS

My 2001 1150 the mirror is a 7mm Allen screw, I had to buy one as not in the set. Good idea to keep one in your pocket for emergency use.
