Got a good chuckle from that one. Thanks.
I wonder if the mirrors can be adjusted at the base without loosening the locknut? My Z1000 had a great feature that would allow the mirror stalk to be pushed back and forth after the jam nut was set. One had to push pretty hard to make an adjustment but is worked slick.

The mirror stalks have a left hand thread that goes into an adapter that has left-hand female threads and right-hand male threads. The adapter is first tightened into the master cylinder mount, the mirror stalks are adjusted, and secured into the adapter with a lock nut (left-hand).
All this is for safety. If you were to hit something immovable (let's say, a pedestrian, a car mirror, or a tree branch) the mirror stalk would be able to rotate back by loosening at one of the sets of threads. The left mirror would loosen (or break away) at the bottom of the adapter, the right mirror would loosen at the top of the adapter. Other brands use a mirror mount that has a friction "clutch" that allows it to move either direction, like your Z1000.
