Title: Detaching stock mirrors? Post by: jam75944 on July 19, 2013, 05:10:05 AM Hi,
Got CRG LS mirrors. Will be taking off stock mirrors. Just curious, is it a matter of just unscrewing the stock ones and they pop right off? Do I have to move any controls, etc? Thanks!

Oh, I don't remember if it's the left or the right hand side, but one of the bolts turns the opposite direction. Got me puzzled, I thought I stripped the threads. Title: Re: Detaching stock mirrors? Post by: Slide Panda on July 19, 2013, 06:13:35 AM The left one is reverse threaded - righty loosy.
Just think about which way the wind will push on them - that'll be the direction to make them tight. Title: Re: Detaching stock mirrors? Post by: bob795 on July 19, 2013, 07:20:32 AM Ah.... Thanks Slide Panda.
