Triumphrat

I put the Triumph bar end mirrors on my Thruxton, but they wont stay tight. I have tightened the hex nuts as tight as I can, but every couple of days I have to retighten them because the mirrors come loose. Anyone else ever have this problem and know a solution?

when you tighten them, use locktite, and tighten them first with a hex wrench, then continue to tighten them by hand moving the entire mirror in a way where it becomes tight in your desired position, but becareful not to overtighten the mirror and strip out the bolt. so far no worries with this method.

Also, along with the locktight, you can buy longer bolts from the home depot. The bolts and locktight worked for me.
