BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I had these mirrors on my 2010 RT twin-cam - genuine BMW mirrors including adaptors to bolt straight on - these make a big improvement on the standard mirrors, one of the best and most simple mods to an RT.
Fits the twin-cam 2010-2013,  not sure if they will fit the earlier RT.  Not suitable for the RT-LC.

Can you post a pic of where the attach to the bike?  They appear to have old-school clamps.  Do they interfere with the windscreen when it's lowered?

Found this photo from Max BMW, I believe that the mirror clamps replace those fitted to the top of the brake & clutch lever mounts.

Exactly correct - thanks

Buckingham,  You're right that these don't fit earlier (or later) RT's.  A shame, since the stock mirrors are awful.  I wound up fitting old-fashioned mirrors with parts from a hardware store (ironmongers, for you Brits).  I'll not offend you folks by showing a pic.  They ain't pretty, but they work.  I call such mods "Iron Mongrels".

Sold via the RT facebook group.
Thanks for all the interest.

Just use a pair of what BMW call pipe clamps, pn [size=11px]32 72 8 532 971, item 9 here [/size]https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=58550&rnd=09082020


These allow you to use any screw-in mirror that has the right thread.  I have a pair of GS mirrors which work very well.


Whoever designed those useless idiotic stock mirrors on the RT should be forced to use them, permanently.

Worth noting, BMW changed the right hand mounting for the twin-cam 2013 year model only (final year before the LC).


The 2013 has 6mm mounting screws for the brake master cylinder,  whereas the 10-12 model years had 5mm screws.  In short, if you've got a 2013 you need a different mounting clamp.
