Schnell Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'd like to buy a set of handle bar mounted mirrors for my 2000 R1100RT. I can see that there are threaded holes where I'd guess these mirrors would mount. So here's my question - What is the thread size and pitch I should be looking for? Or better yet, reply with a link to the site where I can buy the mirrors that fit the R11. Thanks; Ken Link to comment
r77toy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 1100 GS/RS mirrors will fit. Right side has left hand threads Link to comment
Schnell Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks r77toy. I found these at Motobins. http://www.motobins.co.uk/library/90474.jpg have I got it right? Link to comment
flat_twin Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That's for the left side. The one for the right side is fastened with an allen bolt thru the lower stem. Have you tried Re-Psycle BMW parts? www.re-psycle.com Link to comment

macx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Have you heard of Napoleon bar end mirrors? http://www.places2ride.com/Motorcycle_Gear/item.asp?sku=384018 I just put a pair on my 1200RT and MY but I now can see directly behind me! They buzz at hiway speeds, but I don't need to know the make/model of a vehicle close behind me, but I sure do need to know if there's one there or not. $60+ for the pair. Infinitely adjustable, very good quality. The pics aren't in sequence, but here's how things look. http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/ww200/macx351/R1200RT/Bar%20End%20Mirrors/ Not a straight bolt on, takes a little fiddling but nothing major. I'll write it up with instructions in a couple days. I really like them! Feel much more secure esp in town cuz now I can really easily see directly behind me. I'm in process of writing up the install. With pics. Link to comment
Ian Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Ken, If like me you have fitted a wider screen the high mirror probably will hit it. If only 2" wider you can make a cut out but if like me it is 4" wider then high mirrors are not realistically possible. My screen is a Cee Bailey +4w +4h Ian Link to comment
