ben1364 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I picked up a pair of RS mirrors to mount on my R1200RT handlebars. I also got the platinum <g> nuts and the gold washers. Problem is that I haven't been able to snug the mirror stem down tight enough to keep it from rotating. My first thought was to shim with flat washers but I haven't found flat washers that will fit the stem with a narrow enough shoulder to fit in the recess on the bottom of the bar. Thoughts? Suggestions? I guess I could go to Lone Star and beg for help. TIA. Link to comment
ben1364 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 One more question. Same subject. Any recommendations for mirrors other than the RS mirrors for the R12RT? Link to comment
John Bentall Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I tried the K1200GT/RS mirrors on my machine, but found they obscured too much of the stock mirror. Decided in favor of the 1150GS mirrors, purchased for $30 the pair from a boneyard. Link to comment
Captain_Pat Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I just installed K1200RS mirrors on my RT using the BMW washer and nut and they snugged down just fine, much improving the outlook in the rear Link to comment
ben1364 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Pat, My PM didn't get through and I understand. Many thanks for the advice. I must have received R RS mirrors, or some such, by mistake. Ben Link to comment
