Mirror assembly popping out?

[jackronner]

On my 2009RT, this was a problem (though tethered).  I guess the rubber pop-in receivers were tired/worn.  I took a thin 1/77 mm plastic-coated wire, cemented it into the grommet and pressed the mirrors home, and they haven't popped out since.  I've seen in another post that the cam heads on now have a securing screw system.  About time. Now, if only they'd change the awful placement of the mirrors.

+1 to that!

TJRL,  Once again,  the guys you design these bikes don't tour.  E.g., the fairings that send the cold air directly up your sleeves!  I jury-rigged a set of convention mirrors on the existing holes so I don't have to look down and away from the road, and so I can see past a touring load that blocks the view from the stock mirrors.  Ugly but effective.

The rubber grommets are available as separate replacement parts.
