I actually just took mine off. I couldn't tighten them anymore without stripping them and everytime I hit 90mph on the dot they folded right back never failed. so I decided I like the look of a single bar end mirror and picked one up for free, I'm in love! To me looks great and I can see! What a great combo. I will say that there is more vibration now thou lol. Grrr
Put on some SWMotech risers...
Doing another marathon ride this Sunday with a couple of other forum members... I think this'll make a difference... Seems to have propped me up a few degrees of angle... Took 10 minutes. I like it --
Before, stock riser:
Marked the centerline, removed the stock top brackets (the stock bolts came out *way* easier, than I think they should have), and slipped in the new risers:
Added blue Locktite to the new bolts, added top bracket, torqued to ~17ft-lbs. No cable issues, however, I can see that adding another few mm would be a problem with the throttle cable:

Yesterday I got in my new back tire. Took off the back wheel yesterday. Today got the new tire on the back wheel and the back wheel on. Also got in my new Driven +1 front sprocket. I'm gonna put that one on tonight. And Sunday, I'm going to put some miles on it.
Trying to find tune that little flat spot around 6-8K RPM. I tough the velocity stack will fix the problem but even if it help to fix 50% of the problem it wasn't as good as I wanted. So I went all in and tweek the exhaust cam 2 degree. Technically by the book it should fix or help the flat spot, better idle and better top end! Well, we'll see.

Did a full visual inspection, taped up her broken mirror and got back on the saddle for the first time since my crash about a month ago. It was rough, I can't lie. I should know next week if I need surgery to fix my knee, so maybe not the best idea but I had to ride before the rainy season hit and my anxiety got even worse 
I hope you don't need the surgery. I myself have had many surgeries and it's very hard to bounce back as you get older. Good luck if you do need the surgery. You will need to make sure that you work hard to get all your range of motion and strength back.Did a full visual inspection, taped up her broken mirror and got back on the saddle for the first time since my crash about a month ago.

I'm still working on my ankle/foot and lower leg to get it back into shape.
Can we see pics of your custom lights?
Also, you can check out my thread, i did the running lights w/ resistors.

Made up a cheap camera bracket that mounts to the handlebar. In general a small handycam will be used on it. But, to test the design, I mounted up one of the SLRs just for fun.
Took the bike for a nice ride around the lower part of the thumb of Michigan and the mount appeared to perform quite well.
