cause i think i might have one. I'm wondering if I might need to get new mirrors cause one is facing the wrong way after replacing the clutch lever.

What???

The nut on the end might be stuck.

Or maybe washers will get it tight at the right spot...

Ok, now I get it. Soak the threaded end in penetrating oil, hold it firmly, and put a wrench on it. It's just seized on the threads.

I've never seen one without a nut. It should be there against the casting. crack it back and spin the mirror shaft. Counter clockwise loosens.

I got it fixed. Just had to spray a little wd 40 on it.

Next time you're somewhere that sells it. Get yourself a can pf PB Blaster. It's not the best but it's one you can find easily. WD40 is really good stuff for a lot of things including what you just used it for, but PB Blaster goes a little farther in breaking loose rusted, corroded hardware. I keep both around.

Just found a pic of your pic in the member intro. You ought to post a pic of your bike in your signature. That way when you make a post with a problem, people know what they're dealing with. Glad you got it squared away. I've had one break off in the perch before. A real PITA to fix.

So that damn nut on the stem actually moves?? I've been trying for eons to adjust the mirrors by turning the NUT, to no avail, alas.
