400 mirror arm lengths are they unequal as standard?
« on: April 09, 2022, 01:07:24 PM »
The new mirror arrived this morning from DS and I have to say the finish is pretty good for the price.
My first observation is that cosmetically  it will do nicely - I guess what matters is if in use I can see anything aside from vibration distorted images.

What is apparant is the length of the arm is shorter than my left hand side part that projects beyond the end of the bars slightly.
Is this different length an original feature or is it more likely the left hand mirror bar is not original?
