Does anyone suffer from one or both of the view in their mirror being distorted ? , my right hand one has a slight vibration that makes it difficult to see clearly behind you.

The view from the left mirror is perfect and I can see vehicles clearly from it , all fixings are fully  tight the only way to stop the vibration is to push on the glass.

Is this a common problem others have found or do I just have a badly made mirror , I was thinking  of putting the bar end mirrors on but not sure if I really like the look of them.

No never had a problem are they tight enough?  I've recently changed to bar end and again no vibration at all.

Hi yes definitely tight , checked and double checked it’s very annoying, it’s speed related vibration mainly but it’s doesn’t happen to the left may buy another right hand one or the bar end ones. Just didn’t know if I was the only one who suffered from it.

My left mirror vibrates but my right doesn't (2022 Classic 350). I have some Bar end mirrors on the way!

I’m glad it not just me with dodgy mirrors , I’ll probably go down the bar end route too

If anything, my right-side mirror was most prone to vibrations, but was never that much. But now count me in the bar-end crowd. Favorite mod so far. Very solid, perfect visibility, and (in my humble opinion) suits the meteor’s look perfectly.

Yes, both of mine do. Not always though, or I do not always notice it.

RE bar ends here. No distortion at any speed. Another thing I like about the bar end mirrors is there is no distraction of the forward view.
