Dropped Bike / mirror issue
#6

There is a nut with an internal thread that mounts to the bar on the 2017. The mirror stalk threads into the internal nut thread (counter-rotating). But if you tighten the nut to the bar, and tighten the stalk into the nut, when all is done, the stalk snugs up in the wrong spot. The mirror is in the wrong position (towards the interior of the bike.) The only way for me to make it work our was to add a spacer between the stalk and the mating nut. Works fine that way, and there is a cover that cleans the look up... but the thread length / design seem wrong.

I think that you might do it wrong , get the stalk into the right position and than tighten the lock nut. After this you can adjust the mirror part a little but hold the stalk , some times walking into the mirror in the garage can loosen it.
