Stormrider Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi all, I've read that a lot of folks here have put GS mirrors on their RT to actually see what may be lurking behind them. Where can I find a set? New or used. I guess it doesn't really matter. Could someone please point me in the right direction. TIA! Link to comment

E30TECH Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 You could use the link above or try to post a "WTB: GS Mirrors" on the classified forum Make sure you get the right ones. The first set I got would not work on my 2004 RT. I forgot what the deal was... I have the correct mirrors now. It is nice to be able to see behind you. Link to comment
Aluminum_Butt Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 You might want to check to see whether the mirrors from a KRS will fit, as well. Same concept, but they are more rectangular shaped - much wider field of view. I switched to them from round mirrors on my GT, and now I can see less of my elbows and more of what's behind me. Plus, they look WAY cooler. LINK Link to comment

LINK They are WAY cooler than the round mirrors, but they render the OE mirrors completely useless, where as the round ones allow me to use the OE mirrors as overtaking/blind spot mirrors. I tried both, wanted the rectangular for appearance and chose the round. YMMV Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Where can I find a set? New or used. I got a set of used RS mirrors from ebay but it took awhile. Link to comment
twilmotte Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I got my GS mirrors from Chicago BMW (20% off MSRP). The parts guy at Chicago recommended the GS mirrors over the RS mirrors because (he said) the RS mirrors will contact the windscreen when the handlebars are turned full left or right. I'm happy with the GS mirrors, although they do vibrate considerably more than the side mirrors in the fairing. FWIW. Link to comment
