dont know whether anyone has had this.
was in Assen on my 2010 gsa. on way home.
adjusted the mirror and the mirror arm came loose and started swinging around , on motorway whilst doing 90mph.
stopped, got tool kit out and tightened up but it came loose again.
 
Re-tighten, properly.

Depending on the year of your bike there are two different sets of wing mirror clamps:

(1) Earlier, a simple push fit, where the lower nut stops the assembly spinning and the upper bolt compresses a clamp.

(2) Later models, a traditional two nut fitting where the upper nut is reversed threaded.
 
I know what your talking about, its a pain...after i tightened them all ok...but i have knocked them and out come the spanners again...
I am thinking of those folding type with ram mount fitting only £20 each..
 
keeps happening to me too - the new method ain't as good as the old one - simples!
