Rex R Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm sure this has been covered on the boards, but I can't find the info. So I hope you'll all excuse the duplication. But... What mirrors can I add to the handlebar mounts of my 04 1150RT? Does anyone know the maximum thread size (diameter) and minimum stud length that will fit the mounting holes? Thanks. Link to comment
AndyS Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yep, it's been around many times. GS mirrors. here's 1 link: http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=662987&Searchpage=1&Main=59651&Words=%2B+mirrors+%2B+RT&Search=true#Post662987 also if you want to go further do this search: + mirrors + RT Maybe with a 5 year search.

The R/H mirror has the thread the other way round, if it helps Link to comment
dmottv Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 ...What mirrors can I add to the handlebar mounts of my 04 1150RT?... Good question, I think I might add high mirrors as well. Here is the link to the A&S R1150RT Mirror Link to comment
AndyS Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Like I said 51162307769 is the part number for the GS (amongst others). This mirror fits BOTH the right AND left side applications. Just rotate the mirror head 180 degrees. item 1 = 51162307769 = REAR VIEW MIRROR Qty 1= $69.93 item 2 = 51162309607 = WAVE WASHER qty 2 = $0.50 item 3 = 51162328287 = NUT - INBUSMUTTER M8 qty 2 = $7.98 R1150RS K1200GT R1100S K1200RS R1150R R1150 R Rockster R850R Andy Link to comment
Rex R Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 thanks, guys. Now how about a follow up question, or two. Anyone know of rectangular mirrors that would fit (instead of the round GS mirrors)? Anyone add handlebar end-mount mirrors to these bikes?? Link to comment
ltljohn Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think one of the K bike mirrors will also work on the RT, or so my dealer told me. Link to comment
Froggy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Got mine used just a few weeks ago.You do have to be careful.With my winter shield (aroflow)on when handle bars are at their stops it does touch the shield.But I am sure once I transition to the stock shield it will be fine this summer.

AndyS Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 There are some great shaped mirrors on some of the Hondas (Like the old NT650V - NOT the Deuville), they came in Black or chrome, but you'd have to make up relevant nuts to secure them, so I guess that is where it becomes hassle.

g_frey Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It is possible to add a mirror to the windshield up high so that it is always in easy view. Link to comment
dan cata Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It is possible to add a mirror to the windshield up high so that it is always in easy view. That way you would have electrical adjustable mirrors as well Link to comment
AndyS Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It is possible to add a mirror to the windshield up high so that it is always in easy view. .....and block your forward vision? Seriously I think the vibration on the screen would make this a non starter. Andy Link to comment
OlGeezer Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 What mirrors can I add to the handlebar mounts of my 04 1150RT? Thanks. The 2002 RS mirrors will also fit and they are sexier. I have the GS mirrors. By installing them, I pushed the fairing mirrors out to cover the blind spots. My rear view vision is amazing. Link to comment

Seriously I think the vibration on the screen would make this a non starter. Andy You are correct in that the vibration is bad but I have been doing it anyway because it covers the blind spot very well. So I get a blurred vision of someone coming up in my blind spot. Better than not seeing them at all. Link to comment

AndyS Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 K12RS or R1150RS? see post #676893 - 02/18/11 07:48 PM above. also: http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/DiagramsByPartNumber.aspx?parts=51162307769 Andy Link to comment

dmottv Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 A quick followup: I picked up the K12RS mirrors for my '02 R1150RT-P, the left side base indeed needs some modification to allow the high idle lever to work as discussed previously, the right mounts easily. The mirrors just barely touch the slightly wider aftermarket windshield at full turn. However I also installed the Moto Techniques barbacks from A&S that move the bars up and back about 1", and that solved the clearance problem. Link to comment
EricJRW Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 FYI, just saw this in the classifieds: http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=686018#Post686018 Did not parse enough of either thread to know if it's a match. Link to comment
