Also have a look at the Daytona's mirror.  It has a ver sturdy inside brace.

David,
Another good idea.  I'll look into that as well.

Dan

PS  Maybe I could put the weights in some of those lock protectors and slip
the works over the mirrors.  That should change the aerodynamics too!!  What
do you think Eric?

"isolate" the mirror stems from the fairing with thicker rubber may decrease
the vibration amplitude????....just speculation!!!
