    Ok so I have mirror creep on the fairing mirrors that I have on my 900 Sprint. I have removed the mirrors off of my fairing but when I try and undo the 10mm nut it just rotates and won't release. Can anyone please help? Alternatively can anyone recommend any replacements?
    Many thanks!

    Sounds like the nut is spinning in the mirror body. They have like a brass sleeve in there and it is useless. You will just have to play with it till is releases. You might be able to re glue it back in but wish you luck.

    I gave up on my Sprint and took the original mirrors off and fitted handlebar mirrors to the brake and clutch levers. I prefer the angle if them too
