SO I decided to try some mirror extenders and bought a set.
Go to my mirrors, push up the little rubber cover to expose the nuts. Get a wrench (think 14mm but what ever it was it was correct) and a crescent and try to loosen the locking bolt. No even a budge. I try harder and almost break my hand. I was able to push the mirror and get it unscrewing from the mirror receptacle on the bar mount and finally have the mirror in my hand. But it will be useless unless I can get the locking bolt to move and free up the first nut as well.
I tried everything. a vice, a bigger wrench. Heat... After 45 minutes I almost pushed so hard that I came close to rounding the edges of the locking nut.
(And yes I tried both directions just incase I was dealing with a reversed nut)
So, since nothing moved I was able to screw the mirror back in and snug it up to the receptacle and it's like nothing happened. BUT, my mirrors are in the same place.
WTH Honda.. same gorilla that puts on the stock oil filter installing the mirrors as well?!?!
Anybody else have this issue??
