    So,

    Whilst i was riding my 2010 fireblade on a private road! cough! i noticed that at a certain speed BOTH my mirrors really stared to vibrate, i have never had experience before.:confused:

    My question is has anyone else(on a private road/track) been doing lets say in the region of 127mph(just as an example) and noticed this?

    At 140 I would guess mine would be ok, if I was to do 140 which I will not!

    If I ever were to do 170 I guess they'd be ok. :)

    At that speed it doesn't really matter what happens to your mirrors as you won't be using them to look behind, it's more important what's up front!

    Next time I'm on a "private road" I'll investigate this potential problem further for you
