Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both mirrors move at ball joint at highway speeds. The hotter the weather the more they move. This brings for dangerous riding when travelling with other cars because the mirrors move out of adjustment fast and you have to constantlly reajust them. I have had them replace under warranty and the replacement mirrors have the same problem. I have heard from numerouse other bikers with the same model bike that have had the same complaint.”
NHTSA complaint #761894, filed 2002-05“The two rearview mirrors continually moved and turned inward rendering them useless after reaching highway speeds. Appears to be a common problem with no indication of manufacturer correction. I have been told to return for a new pair if the problem re-occurs at my own loss of time and in-convenience. Condition presented a dangerous situation one day while riding in heavy wind and I had to constantly watch over my shoulder where traffic was during this difficult condition.”
