Shuddering mirrors On F3 Limited
has anyone found a golden arrow to stabilize F3 mirrors? I have tightened the mounting screws and it helped, but its still troublesome on less than perfect road surfaces.

Yep......but it requires fillers. You either have to wedge some two sided tape between the mirror and the body (either on the top or the side), or you can remove the mirror, apply some two sided tape to the body under the edge of the mirror. (I needed 3 layers, and left the top coating on (the green in the picture), so I could remove the mirrors easily. I have no more vibration.

I can't show you the other two methods, but a search of F3 Limited Mirror Vibration should locate them

Enjoy the good stuff, don't worry too much about the small stuff & Ride More, Worry Less!
So what about MY solution, complete with photos, Aawen? Was there something you found offensive in it? Gee some people are hard to please.......

Fixed
Had some silicone line. Cut a couple of pieces to go between the posts that clip in. Secured them with a bit of electrical tape. Problem solved!

I had that problem on my ST and just replaced the base bracket with a new one. good as new. I ordered it threw cheep cycle parts for cheep. sometimes the required ninja move to remove them will damage them and they will begin to shutter. Its really hard to see but there is plastic broke off somewhere.
