Check if your bike has one LH and one RH thread before you look for mirrors, IIRC the left hand mirror on SV-AL7 has a LH thread and RH has RH so that wind force on mirror tends to tighten the thread. LH threads normally have a groove around the nut hexagon. Alchemy refers to LH thread as 'reverse thread' LOL.
