Lol! You've never dropped your bike, have you?
The shear bolts don't work - the first thing that breaks is always the arms, right across the hole that the shear bolt goes through. This is obviously a weaker spot than the shear bolt!
If you're lucky (ie, you just clip something with your mirror) then you'll just break the arm and the shear bolt and pull the mirror off. If you're unlucky the whole top section of the fairing breaks through the mirror holes, so you need a new top fairing!
It seems like a good idea, but in my experience it just doesn't work.
