Waiting for my lovely wife to bring me a socket set...luckily only 10miles from home! Did have it cabled tired and gaffa taped...but given up totally on me today...
managed to snap the outer part when i was trying to fold in the mirrors... So i cable tired and gaffa tapped it about a month back - today the other side broke..
im sure i asked about this..and someone said i will need a new mirror.. checking this... this has the plastic missing (the one that did break one mine a month back_ HONDA CBR1000 RR FIREBLADE 2008- 2011 LH MIRROR + STEM NEW FREE P&P | eBay
They are pretty rubbish design and waiting for the day when one of mine snaps! At least you wasn't far from home
Agree very crap design I snapped mine pushing it out of the garage when it caught on a brush hung from the rafters took no effort at all. I stripped drilled and pinned it for a while but the repair stopped it folding which was a pain, got a new one off ebay (someone selling bits off a bike he was prepping for track ) still have the one I pinned (its fine except for its permanent erection ie will not fold) yours for a very small sum and postage Toth PS its black
I know the feeling dude This is the outcome of Jimbo "Kung fooing " mine and after Dave V attempting to fix with some magic paste he took up on the Scotland trip
I had my Suzuki ones snap..just waiting for the Blade ones to do the same trick. I fold my mirrors in every time the bikes get put in the shed, so they get a lot of stresses. Out of interest..does anyone on here ride without mirrors on the road ? Been thinking for a while of taking mine off completely as I find them distracting whilst riding as well as the faff about of folding them in and out all the time.
Exactly the same place on that elbow where mine sheared on my old 10 plate, yet another design fault that Honda allow their customers to carry the can for
Clipped mine this morning on my commute with forty miles to go it was hanging on by the indicator wire. F@#king lorry and van decided they needed all the road. Still only caught my wing mirror not me or the handlebar, mirror now cable tied to get me home, replacement ordered coming tomorrow. More money down the drain.
