Description

Mirror Adapter, 5mm

Since the introduction of the R1200 RT, one single request for improvement from our customers that stands out above the rest is that of an affordable improvement to the 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. We had an easy and very popular solution for the RT models up to 2009, involving the installation of supplemental handlebar mounted mirrors, but no way to offer a similar solution for the 2010 through 2012 RT.........until now!

These adapters replace the upper half of the lever perch and are threaded to accept a M10 x 1.5 mirror stud. The 10mm size is fairly common and you can mount a variety of mirrors, including the BMW mirrors for the R1200 GS for example. The mirrors that we recommend for this application however are our Vario Flash extending mirrors. The Flash mirrors have a unique angular shape that compliments the lines of the RT. Additionally, they are length and angle adjustable, so that you can achieve the optimal position and avoid interference with the windshield.

Please download the Installation instructions above for more information and images. Please also check out the video for this part.

Great safety add-on for my 2011 R1200RT

The mirror adapters are costly, but well worth the value of the safety they add to the bike by increasing the field of vision in my rear view. The description says they “... are threaded to accept a M10 x 1.5 mirror stud. The 10mm size is fairly common and you can mount a variety of mirrors, including the BMW mirrors for the R1200 GS for example.” I purchased the mirrors themselves from a third party that said they were 10mm studs, but they fit very tightly, allowing only a few turns to thread in, and would not seat all the way down. Nevertheless, they are secure enough and I am going to live with it, not knowing if the sizing issue is with the adapter or the mirrors. I suspect it’s probably an issue on the cheap mirrors. As usual I am very happy with the Wunderlich quality.

Worthwhile addition for a late model BMW RT.

Adaptor would have rated five stars if it was the same width as the BMW part it replaces. Could not be easier to fit. The mirror I mounted was, I believe, from an R1200R which came with it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s own threaded fittings compatible with the adaptor. No vibration issues and a worthwhile addition to the RT. Wunderlich provided a very efficient service.

These replace the existing covers, however, they are a bit on the narrow side. Works as advertised but esthetically not uniform with the rest of the holder. Works as advertised with the Flash Mirrors.

Good, but too expensive for what it is.

So far, I can't complain about the quality of this product, but it is awfully expensive for what it is. One word of caution: Even though the hole is designed for a 10mm stud, it has a fine thread which limits its use to only certain mirrors. Generic 10mm mirrors won't work and even the BMW OEM mirror for the 1200GS won't work, without an additional adapter.

Function, fit and easy installation all rate 5 stars. Downgraded to a 4 star because of appearance. Adaptors are not as wide as the OEM clamps they replace on a 2011 R1200RT. However, that being said, once they are on installed if you hadn't seen the original clamps, you would be unaware of the difference.
