THE MIRRORS ON THIS MOTORCYCLE MOVE BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. THE ACTUAL MIRROR PART ITSELF MOVES, NOT THE METAL STALK HOLDING THE MIRROR. THIS REQUIRES CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT WHILE RIDING, IE: EVERY 15 MINUTES OR SO. I THINK THAT THE WIND MOVES THEM, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TIGHTEN ONLY THE MIRROR PART. I DID NOT RETURN THE BIKE TO THE DEALER, AS I MOVED TO ASIA FOR OVER ONE YEAR SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE BIKE. THEN IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
