I'm getting there with my '87 S&S (engine rebuild, welding etc.) Last night I caught my mirror and the whole thing came of, it kinda fell off where the moving bit fastens on to the door bit- it dosen't seem broken as such, however all I can see is where it should attach, and a spring inside - I can't see a way to get it back on (kinda dangling at the moment on the wires.) Is it broken or is there a simple way to re-attach it ? any help would be great.

Can you post pictures? A picture of the door where the mirror is supposed to go, and one of the flange of the mirror, on the side that attaches to the door, would be helpful. I want to say that there are screws going into the mirror from the inside of the door, but I'm not exactly sure.

couldn't see very well last night, plus it was thundering + lightning however after close inspection I think it must have some sort of collet or washer around the bottom of the post. which basically needs reattaching... (door cards off mirror bracket off, 'nother painful job..!)
hopefully my pics will upload.

That is exactly what hapened to me 69 2 weeks ago.
The mirrors look similer ( slightly different)
What i had to do is take the mirror out first. On mine i pusht in on the top of the mirror , then look in the gap at the bottom betwean the mirror and the metal pieace. There was a little screw there. Undue that and the rirror should come right out.(however it is a tight fit for the screw driver)
from there there was 2 screws that atacht the sqware pieace to the stand. I just screwed them back in and then reatacht the mirror.
I know the mirrors are alittle different but mabey this will give you an idea to start with.
