My mirrors vibrate too at low rpms in traffic - can't see too well. Thinking maybe bar end mirrors or thick angle adjustable that would mount to the controls?
Any ideas?

the holes are there on the S2 controls for stock HD mirrors - but I bet they would interfere badly with the windscreen. Bar ends would work but I have found them to be obscured by my wrists in riding posture.

You might take the appropriate metric allen to the tension bolt at the pivot where it mounts to the frame (under the rubber boot). That helped mine a lot - the left one was more or less unusable as it had gotten too loose, i now keep that wrench in my jackleg pocket at all times, made a huge difference.

Lynrd, do you have to remove mirror to do that? Is allen bolt top or bottom?

Thanks
