I have never heard of mirrors flying off a C-14 no matter how big a bump you hit....

I've hip checked mine and I was glad they have a break away feature.

So where do you push? Inner mirror itself or the outer shell? Or do you simply lean over , adjust your neck and pray nothing's back there?

On the edge of the mirror, not the 'shell'.

Mine haven't moved in over three years....

They still haven't moved.  Best MC mirrors I've ever had as far as adjustments staying put.  Both my C10 and Voyager mirrors were a PITA in that regard.

The good news is, you are already pretty much in the riding position when you make the adjustments, so you can set it and forget it. I put a convex blind-spot mirror on the inside lower edge of each mirror as well.

My stupid Malibu (a company car, I hate that piece of crap but it's free) has the electric mirror adjustment buttons way up on the windshield pillar, so you have to lean forward - a lot - to make mirror adjustments, and of course, as soon as you lean back into the normal driving position, they don't work right.   ::)
