So, I dont think this has been brought up before, but if so please link the other discussion.

Ive been pondering for quite a while on how odd it is that my left mirror works fine for me, but my right(throttle side) does not. After staring at it for a while Ive discovered something. The "L" bar linking the mirror to the handlebars are two different lengths. I have even gone down to the dealer to make sure I wasnt insane, and sure enough all of their Strykers (as well as the Midnight Warriors) have the same "issue". No other bikes on the floor were like this though.

So my question to you fine educated people of the forum is this: Have you noticed this with your Stryker as well?

I plan on replacing mirrors in the future anyway, its just been bugging me that my right mirror is useless until then. :'(

I know what you mean. Just for safety reasons i prefer to turn my head to look and make sure i have the arlen ness rad 2 mirrors which are small and when i tried to install them i had such a hard time doing the right side that i got fed up put the stock ones back on then went on line to ask advice as of now i have not tried it i put it in my stuff to do over winter pile. (Sidebar) snow for saturdaynight into sunday morning here in orange county NY it's to soon for this neck of the woods.

the right mirror mounts 1-2 inches more forward than the left, i assume the reason for the shorter stem is so the mirrors sit at about the same distance from your face.

Also the bracket for the throttle side is attached to the throttle/brake housing. When I changed to my Grim Reapers, I noticed that no matter what I did the right side mirror pointed to the ground, so I rotated the housing up (placing the brake lower away) this did the trick. The problem I have is my fingers are so short I have a hard time gripping the brake lever.
