R1200RT LC mirror's

[yellowjacket]

Has anyone tried to install another set of rear view mirror's on an RT LC ? I like the high mirror's on the GS better. I guess being a life long Harley rider has me use to those high mirror's.

Should have bought a GS.  I think you might find a clearance problem with the screen on anything like hard lock.

As a former Road King owner, I much prefer the position of the RT mirrors. Better rear and side rear visibility in my opinion.

Check out Nippy Norman's for replacement lever mount castings that are threaded ready for mirrors on stalks. http://www.nippynormans.com/r1200rt-to- ... rt-2013-on

NN reason for selling these is exactly the same as for the pre LC bike. They need to be mounted well,in to clear all the switchgear.  Would be interested to hear from snyboby who has fitted these. I can see then restricting the steering on hard lock if you have the screen down.  I fitted a set of bar mirrors on my 09.  All,they did was block any view in the proper ones so came straight off again.

According to the reviews they just clear the screen when its down, the bigger one to watch for is that if you have the extra front BMW lights they DON'T fit as the switch gets in the way.

Stems could be a cm or two longer BUT would then clash with lowered screen when bars on full lock...so ok fair enough. Actual mirrors are good shape, (could be a little bigger!) and the adjustment I think is adequate for the job. Be aware that whilst you can see the original mirrors, they will be semi blocked by the new ones. No problem to me as I only use originals as blind spot mirrors. ( adjusted accordingly) Overall, a simple, value for money addition to my bikes safety. btw,are they left and right, couldn't quite work it out?!!

If you have a spot/headlight switch fitted to left hand side of the handlebars you will not be able to put the switch back in place after fitting the adaptor as there is no thread to do so

Just like the old ones. Fit one and block one.  On the LC you're better off spending some time getting them properly adjusted.

Agree.  I reckon the LCRT has the best mirrors of any bike I've owned...
