I've had the same issue on several Daytonas - I've just replaced those screws with cap head bolts (titanium as I'm a tart).
Yes they are very much a love or hate on the marmite scale but I've had the fake stealth mirrors on from when they first appeared on the market, but I always hated the pivot joint as it can move and when you adjust it can become loose which means undoing them, tighten the bolt on the bottom and refit, its annoying. I've always suspected that the ones Rizoma makes for other brands would fit, so after looking at the measurement charts on their website and the holes on the bike I got a set off Aliexpress because I am not guessing when its 400 quid, turns out the 60 quid ones for the 2018-2019 BMW S1000RR fit The threaded studs they come with are only 20mm so far too short, need at least 30-35mm so you can fit the nut on the other side, but they fit. Middle finger to Rizoma on that one. Will I be able to see out of them, who knows, I'll find out how decent they are compared to the other ones once I've got the correct length studs and bolted them into place And also in the post today I managed to get hold of the twinlight driver, which was a device that isn't made anymore that lowers the power to the high beam and thus you can have dual headlights, I'll look into the wiring on the angel eyes over the winter but for now I can at least have dual headlights on when riding.
I think I could get myself on the twat of the week with this one. While trying to test an idea with the cold start I fitted a lead acid battery with multiple terminals, rather stupidly put the battery in the wrong way round and crossed the terminals, luckily I have an inline fuse in place from the regulator to the battery and blew that. Couldn't understand why when running at idle it was reading 13 volts and not moving, changed the fuse and back up to 14 volts it went, so note to self, pay attention to which way round you fit the battery, bike is now tucked up in the garage, I've done years of riding in all weather and I hated it so I won't be pulling the Daytona out unless its extra sunny, but I have a few things I want to change while its off the road for a bit.
You're not the first, I've seen it a few times on other forums, don't know if you've added an extra fuse but it normally just blows the main fuse near the starter relay, usually everything else survives the momentary reverse polarity. I'm with you about winter riding, my Daytona will be going away at the end of the month, and the Thruxton, who knows where that's going
Yeah, the bike fired up straight away with the replacement fuse so I know I didn't blow the main one, but I'll be sure to check it when I pull the tank off and change the spark plugs for nice fresh ones I keep eyeing up the new 400 XC scrambler, once I move to North Wales I'll be glad to have something that I can have a comfy ride on down some of those tracks without the fear of being on a sportsbike
