I bought some of the original version 72 mirrors from LMC, the right side was hardly usable, I couldnt see anything because the vent blocked it. I ended up cutting right behind the ball joint on the mirror head, welding a bolt to the little ball and threading the a hole where the ball used to be attached. I covered the bolt with a coupler nut, a one inch long nut that fit over the bolt and screwed the new bolt into the mount. This moved the mirror head back one inch and now I can see out the right mirror perfectly. The mod doesnt look bad either.
