31K Mirrors

[element137]

Sorry if this is a dumb question - the very last thing I have fitted to a completed bike now is the mirrors -
RH side seems to sit way higher than the LH side ?- I expect when the bodywork goes on its going to very noticeable - I could roll the clutch perch back a few degrees, but even that don't look like it would match the height of the RH side ? ( which sits higher on the MC bracket ? )- am I missing something - or do they all do that ?

The mirrors should be sat level with each other when fitted, are the mirrors Yamaha OE or aftermarket or one of each?
Its also possible that one is bent, check the angles of each bend on the arms.

They will not sit at exactly the same height I'm afraid as the left clutch perch side mount is at lever height and the right hand side sits above the master cylinder so 20-30mm difference

I've never noticed or let it bother me

I've also not measured genuine mirrors to see if one is longer 🤔

aftermarket - I will put up some pics in a bit

this is what I assumed- as if you look at the height on the RH (MC side ) it deffo sits higher than the clutch perch - i just wanted to check it was not something daft I had done -

I think your problem is that you’ve got an f1/n1 clutch perch
The lc2 perch sits at a different angle

I’ll get a pic of mine 👍

[Yogi]

It should look like this

Yours is made for clip ons hence it faces the lever and mirror mount down
Unless you’re pics deceiving 🤔

Matt is correct

Also your RH mirror stub looks like it's pointing outward and your LH one is pointing at a forward angle

They also look like the mirror stalks are at slightly different angles

I think element might have twisted the stalk on the left mirror to gain a bit of extra height 🤔

I have - in a bid to try and balance it up a bit - I also wind the threads out a bit to try and get a bit more height -

I did consider this - the clutch perch is not the best anyway as someone has chewed it up in the past - plan to swap it out over the winter -really appreciate you chucking the picture up cheers -

I think you nailed it Steve - I had another go at setting up and changed the angles on everything - and they look much closer - hopefully having learned how to align them better, will change the perch anyway  - one of those moments where you question what you have missed on something so simple ! and when you come back after a break it seems obvious 

Thanks all for  the input - really appreciated - the gap between the top of each mirror now just about the difference between the relative height of the RH MC side and the LH perch - see pics -

this is a closer pic of the clutch perch - wrong one for 31K you think ?

[element137]

I think they are better aligned now -

Don't know what's going on with your switch gear wiring cables...... they should be above the top yoke! 👍

You are correct - I just had a look at the cable routing from a Yamaha manual, and yes, should loop over and behind the clocks  into the headlight bucket ?  by the looks of it - clearly not something I paid attention to when rebuilding it - another job for the final snagging list - I don't suppose you have picture of the correct routing ( not the diagram from the manual one as its not that clear ) a picture of actual routing on a bike ?- many thanks.

Here ye go

Thanks Steve - appreciate that - I add this to the loads of stuff I have learned along the way with this project -

[element137]

Had to take the clocks off again yesterday - so took the opportunity to correct the bar switch cable routing - thanks all for the feedback on it - hopefully all in the right place now - always welcome constructive pointing out of my mistakes - cheers all.
