Description
Mirror, Black Left or Right
These mirrors are identical replacements for the originals, made by the original supplier to BMW. If your mirror is damaged, the mirror glass is loose or the stem is starting to rust, these mirrors are available as a reasonably priced alternative to the rather expensive Original BMW replacement mirror.
These mirrors even include the special nut that is needed to attach the mirrors and that makes them ideal as a retrofit mirror on R1150 RT and R1200 RT models. Left and right are the same, so if you need a set, please order two.
Here is a cost effective and simple solution: Install a pair of these mirrors on your RT and use them for a clear, unobstructed view of what's behind. You can then also adjust the original mirrors slightly more outward than you normally would, to see what's in the lane beside without having to turn and look. A win win situation.
The controls of the RT are technically the same as those used on other models (such as the various models listed above) and so they already have a built-in attachment point for mirrors.
- Installation is simple and will take only a few minutes.
- Special nut is included
- Made in Germany
- Sold each
The R1200 RT can greatly benefit from the installation of these mirrors! Though the original mirrors are well placed to provide wind protection, they are not in the optimal spot for a clear view of what's behind and especially if you are traveling with luggage on the rear.
R1200 RT up to 2009:
- If you have a large aftermarket windshield, these mirrors may not work for you because the mirrors may contact your windshield when the handlebars are turned fully. We have not tested compatibility with the many aftermarket shields available.
- The upper holes in the controls may be a bit too small for these mirrors to fit. In this case, a round file, Dremel Tool or a rolled up piece of sandpaper can be used to slightly enlarge the upper hole, and the mirror will slide right in. This is not a defect of the mirrors, in some cases this extra machining process was omitted on the RT by the factory because it was not foreseen to install mirrors in the control assemblies on the RT.
