I never had any issue with them, but mirrors are so easy to change that there's no reason not to try something else. Safety first.
I first learned it when working on my XT550 Yamaha around 1983. Not all makers do that. And the CB1100's setup is confounding. You will want to really snug everything down, they come loose quite easily.

I attempted this shortly after I bought the bike but couldn't figure out the 2-nut system and left it be for fear of damaging the mirrors. Well, I didn't know the top nut on the mirror is reverse threaded so I was able to make the adjustments needed for me after figuring out that by accident, lol. I suspect you all already knew that! I still don't like the mirrors but am reluctant to go away from OEM. I'll have to take a short test ride today to fine tune the adjustments but I suspect they will work for me just fine.I'll bet not everyone knew that.
