Mirror Issue

[Bobonli]

Someone banged into the left side mirror of my 1200 GS when it was parked. In my garage no less! It now spins 360 degrees in the mount, as shown below. I've tried tightening the series of nuts on the base of the stalk in various combinations and the best I can get it tightened down is with the mirror inboard, over the gas tank.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong (or something is stripped) or I'm missing something obvious about the sequence of tightening the nuts. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Thanks for clicking through. I couldn't embed it directly.

Lift the rubber boot at the base of the stalk and back off the locking nut fully (up the stem).

Screw the mirror down into the clutch lever as far as possible and then back off to the correct mirror position.

Tighten locking nut and replace boot.

If this doesn't work, something is stripped.
