I have been riding my friend's Multi 1000S for the past couple of days (I'm slowly falling in love with the bike by the way) I was cruising on the freeway rushing to my destination 75 miles away when I noticed that the left mirror seems pretty loose at the attachment point. In another 10 miles it completely fell off and I had to hold it with my left hand for the next 60 miles because I was late and couldn't stop to take it off. Long story short, when I got home I removed it and here is what I found:
This morning I had a plan to re-thread the remaining part however it turns out the threads run he opposite way and it's not possible (at least not with tools I have)
This leads me to believe that the failure occured when someone overtightened the mirror trying to take it off.
Is there a way to replace just the stem? I have tried to find Duck microfiche on-line with no luck. I would hate to buy the whole mirror.
By the way I took the other mirror off and took the bike for a spin..... it's much easier to split the lanes, however I got a feeling of being blind. Need to get this fixed asap!
