But when I slow down the mirror stays in that position and needs a gentle push to get it to spring back under its own tension, it seems as if if is to loose and to tight at the same time.
I cannot bolt the mirror up tight because I need to fold then in when going through my gate to park up, plus its not helpful when tight filtering in slow traffic having a mirror that can not be pulled in.
Any way I will stop bleating now and go dry my eyes and get on with my life.
Tommy mate, you shouldn't be doing 100mph plus at your age - you'll get frost bite!
Saying that, from your piccy below, if you did it in an open face helmet it should sort out the wrinkles :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
