It popped out without much pressure, the aluminum seems cheaply made...Oh that sucks. How tight were you trying to get that thing? Or did it pop without much pressure?
Yeah, I saw that on the stock's there is a steel base plating so the bolt doesn't strip off. This one is just covered in a plastic/aluminum casing.Yeah that might be an issue if they're cheap knock offs. Mine have steel studs. (I know they're steel they were slightly rusted when I go them plus they're magnetic) So I'm sure mine are actually OEM ones. Sorry dude. Hope they do the right thing and either take them back or replace it.
I snugged mine down W/O any issues.i had the exact same problem when i bought my mirrors from d2moto. happened when i did one last final crank on the bolt. i drilled a larger hole in the plastic on the mirror and put a different bolt on. pissed me off that it broke but cant even tell with the covering on, so you may be able to save what you have
How did you make the bolt stay on there? If you drill a hole then it's just a hole and a bolt?i had the exact same problem when i bought my mirrors from d2moto. happened when i did one last final crank on the bolt. i drilled a larger hole in the plastic on the mirror and put a different bolt on. pissed me off that it broke but cant even tell with the covering on, so you may be able to save what you have

i am a bit of a noob when it comes to working on my bike.
But one quick question before i buy these, does anyone think they will not work?
Thanks for the help.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one with the problem.i had the exact same problem when i bought my mirrors from d2moto. happened when i did one last final crank on the bolt. i drilled a larger hole in the plastic on the mirror and put a different bolt on. pissed me off that it broke but cant even tell with the covering on, so you may be able to save what you have
