    Default Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    The mirrors on my 2015 F3-S are starting to vibrate, particularly the left one. I see a couple of mirror-locking options for the RT’s, F3-T's, and L’s but haven’t found any for the barebones F3's or F3-S's.

    The mirrors on the F3-S look very different from the other models, so it seems unlikely that the ones I see on Lamonster and other sites would work.

    Can anyone tell me if there is a solution for my bike?

    That is odd! Mine have been solid from day one... Have you checked the mounting bolts for them and tightened if needed? Or are you talking about the glass itself? Again, I can't recall anyone having issues with the F3S mirrors coming loose or falling out...

    Mine have vibrated from the start. Seems worse with higher speed. I wonder if it comes from vibrations from the drive belt?

    It seems to me it’s the glass itself that is vibrating but I’ll check the mount to be sure

    Come to think of it now, I have read about a couple of folks whose mirrors were missing the rubber base mounting gaskets! This prevents them from being tightened up snugly properly...

    I couldn't find anything like that for the F3 or F3s. I can't comment on older model years, but my 2023 was having lots of mirror vibration on the right side. Then the plastic stem holding the lens to the housing broke, this was in line with BRP recall of 2022 and early 2023 with faulty plastic used. However instead of waiting on a warranty claim and getting them replaced. I decided to go a different route and just. I never like the way they do mirrors on the F3 seem too snowmobile like and less motorcycle. So I decided to accelerate my plans on deleting the factory mirrors and adding an after market set to the bars. So far it's worked out and eliminated just about all of the mirror vibration.

    They don’t work for the F3-S, Bfromia…..only the L or T.

    I would think some things wrong with his mirror, if people on here were having issues they would speak up and we would be reading a whole lot of posts about it! Maybe he has a rubber cushion missing or something.

    Except for my '22 F3S losing the left side mirror glass completely, I've had no play in the mirrors at all. I have two replaced mirror assemblies now (post-recall) and they are rock solid, too. They don't even vibrate. They require firm pressure to adjust.
