IllustrationTHE SIDE MIRRORS FOR MY KAWASAKI VERSYS HAS HAD REPEATED FAILURES. I'VE HAD TO TRY TO REPAIR AND THEN REPLACE THE MIRRORS MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MIRROR CAN NOT BE TIGHTENED AND HAT SPEEDS > 30MPH THE WIND PUSHES THE MIRROR ALL THE WAY IN MAKING IT INOPERABLE. I'VE TIRED TO HAVE REPAIR SHOPS FIX BUT THEY SAID IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
