Hello all,
So I am now part of the Vstrom family after purchasing a 2018 DL1000 in yellow. I absolutely love this bike, it is 100% the best bike I have ever owned.. (I have had previous bikes). Seriously, I love it to bits. Its super comfortable, plenty fast enough and (cliche I know) inspires confidence in the corners.
Anyway, on to the topic. I am beginning the process of upgrades which will make this thing even better. An MTC twin port stainless can is currently in the postal system and will be arriving Monday. In the meantime I bought a pair of these from M&P in order to fit a set of ER6N mirrors. Now, having installed them they seem to be doing a lot of this
I am a bit green when it comes to working on bikes but trying to change that a bit with this one so please go easy on me! Does anyone have any quick fixes to assist with preventing the swivel? I have tried a rubber washer between the extender and the bracket but it hasn't worked. I thought loctite might do it (not tried yet as haven't got any) but would still be a lot of smooth metal on smooth metal so would the loctite just hold the bolt firmly in place while everything else swivels around it?
Additionally, if yours were the same as mine, what did you use to compensate for the overly long bolts that come with the set?
Thanks in advance for
any help or suggestions (bound to be a few sarcastic ones thrown in!)
Cheers!
