Eric,
Are you saying your windsheild doesn't flex just a little? When I
get up to about 60mph, the top edges do shake a little. Therefore the
mirrors shake a little too. It didn't seem that bad, and I could still
see objects in the mirrors clearly. Then again my reference is my last
bike, a '97 Sportster, where the mirrors vibrated past 30mph to the point
of being practically worthless.
Are your mirrors always rock solid?
Thanks,
David
