Dunno if the mirror is the same as the ones on the 2002-2003 FZS 600 Foxey?
I had exactly the same problem with one of my mirrors being wobbly and at speed the whole mirror used to move backward from the hinge/swivel point, the original set up is riveted, I tried to tighten the rivet to no avail, so I purchased a new pair of mirrors on EvilBay for about £20 I think it was. Well, they turned out to be the biggest load of crap ever manufactured (Obviously with the exception of the Harley Davidson) As an aside someone told me the best way to increase the power of a Harley Davidson is to buy a smaller plough :rollin
I sent the mirrors back and got a refund. I then stripped out the old mirror, drilled out the rivet and replace it with a 10mm bolt and nylock nut (That's 10mm spanner size not thread diameter) the mirror is now fine and holds station unless I go over about 120 when it slowly folds back so all I can see is my own shoulder, which is not good when you want to see if there is any colour blue behind you.
Any policeman :bobby reading this post I wish to inform you that this is total fiction, as I am a law abiding citizen. :bobby
My problem is that I need to fold both my mirrors back towards the fairing to pass through a side gate to my house, and this is the thing that shags the swivel point as my mirrors back and forth each time I leave and arrive home, also when tight filtering in slow moving traffic I tend to pull my mirrors back to give more clearance between cars.
