The collar around the ball joint the mirrors swivel on can be rotated to tighten or loosen the joint. On my 2012 bike there is a single very fine hex bolt holding it in place.

We had a thread last year maybe helpful too.

I have to admit my mirrors will become loos very often - had already thought to replace but i am not sure if other one are better.

I got a special tool from Harlan that is a pin wrench that fits the holes in the collar. Some hardware stores sell adjustable pin wrenches. Also, as I remember, there is a tiny Allen set screw down in one of those holes, that has to be loosened first. Look for that screw before attempting to rotate the collar!
