[QUOTE="gregory, post: 1178236, member: 8728"] Interseted indeed. I have FZ1 mirrors and Clearwater brackets with a set of Kristas that are mounted up (they do not hang off the bracket.) I am not super happy with this setup as there is [I]just enough[/I] thread on the FZ1's to get flush with the top of the nut (nylock) and that is it. I was unable to put the protective rubber piece on because I was no longer able to start threading the nut when I tried to use it. For the most part, this is a stable set up, with minor "bouncing" of the Krista's on the rougher roads. So far, no ill effects on the plastics, but it is a concern. After the first big trip with this set up, I had to get back into the dash for an unrelated reason and checked the nuts to make sure they were still tight, and I found that even with nylocks, they had backed out a little. I love the FZ1's, just wish there was a way to lenghten the threads another 1/4" or so. [/QUOTE]
