Like I said, the problem with mirror movement was my fault because I didn't have the plug pushed in all the way. Yesterday I noticed some buzzing, but it was easily solved by pushing the mirror back down firmly. I think it came a bit loose when my bike fell over the other day. With these bugs worked out one of the few unsolvable (but minor) problems is that with my arms in certain positions on the bar-tops my arms block the mirrors making them temporarily useless. However, I don't have my arms in this position often, so it's not a big thing. Another thing I love about the mirrors is that the right side mirror gives a good view of traffic approaching from behind on right-hand curves, when the mirror on the left side shows nothing. I also find that having two mirrors helps when I'm riding away from the sun because the glare usually hits one but not both mirrors. In case it doesn't come through clearly, I'm very happy with this purchase, and I'm not the easiest guy in the world to please.
Do you know who makes your mirrors? I think that they might work for me in addition to what I am already using. All of the bar-end mirrors I have seen are rather large and require the bars to be re-wrapped.
Thanks,
Bruce
