I posted this as a reply in another thread, but then thought it may be of interest to others with models that are supposedly fixed via the BRP late ‘21 build modification to address the mirror vibration issue.
Well, well, well……Shiver me Timbers and call me Long John Silver.
Half way through my ride today, out of nowhere, I noticed my left mirror shaking on my late built ‘21 RT. The right mirror was fine. When I returned home, I installed Lamont’s mirror fix bolts. The left mirror is now rock solid. I do not have a clue what the catalyst was for the shake, as it had been pretty good until today. I will do the right side in the next couple of days, just in case.
I certainly have the BRP mod installed on my late ‘21 (note the round head shape on the fasteners in the photo below), but it appears it has some “limitations” somewhere in its design. All stock fastenings were tight on removal.
I can also confirm, as others already have, that Lamont’s fix, while removing the easy lift out function of the mirror assembly, (there are 3 nuts to remove now…..easy peasy), immediately addresses the issue.
The longest part of the process was watching Lamont’s excellent install video…..although those countries with indicators in the mirror housing will have to remove the indicator block via 3 screws and a cable disconnect.
