[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1391899, member: 27852"] If you are going to take the time to tear the entire nose down, remove the stay, and then have the tab welded back on, go an extra couple of inches and also weld on a gusset made from a small triangular piece of flat stock (very small - 3/4" or there about). Do it on both side (left and right). Only one gusset is needed and you should be able to figure out which side of the mirror tab is goes on (rider side IIRC). This will strengthen the mirror tabs exponentially and an added bonus is that the vibration on the mirror is reduced, causing a clearer rear view. I did this on my Gen 1 and it was great. [/QUOTE]
