General topics » Broken mirror part, not sure what it is?

Hi, bicycle hit my bike when stopped. He broke off this mirror pivot thing, what is it called and what's the cheapest place to get one in the usa?

Thank you.

I still need to figure out how to get the indicator back on, there's some plastic in the way of getting under it.

P/N 51168556083 for the R/H mirror assembly. Individual pieces are not available as far as I know. Remove two screws that hold the fairing inner closeout panel, the mirror mount bolts are accessible behind the fairing.

The front turn indicator needs a little bit of simple disassembly.

The panel that hold it is held on by 3 torx screws. One which is plainly visible on the side, and the other 2 are found under the headlights. The screws under the headlights are different from each other, one has a much longer sleeve, and the other has a longer sleeve compared to the others on the RS bodywork.

There is a clip between the lower corner of the panel (the outside panel) and the inner panel (which is black). These just pull apart, or fall apart.

The signal itself is held in with a bolt / screw. I can't recall what it is, but it is obvious and simple. You may find when you unscrew it, reposition and re-screw it all will be well.

Others on the old Forum had posted that it all just "snaps in to place" when dislodged.

I can't really say as the front signals were one of my first modifications. I use the small Hornig tape mounted units. The standard signals are like highway pegs and protrude too much for me.

I’ve dislodged a front (LED) indicator a couple of times.

Never just “pops back in”. If you really force it, then a critical piece of the mount is liable to break off.

The indicator has always stayed safely out of position till I get home.

As above, you need to remove a few fairing screws, inside and outside to let the panel come off.
I don’t remember meeting different shapes and sizes.

The indicator is indeed a nut & bolt job to undo so that you can then push and turn it back in as per the factory build.

Once the indicator is out you can see why it doesn’t want to pop back in without being unscrewed first.

Thank you all so much!

I really appreciate it. But where can I order whatever will get me that part that isn't a million dollars like the dealer?

Depending on which country is blessed with your presence, you may have no choice other than to repair the mirror mount. If you had all the bits you might be able to glue it together. Or you could use duct tape inventively. Or you may be able to take it to an engineer who can alloy weld it together, machine it and paint it. Or, you may find an RS in a breaker's yard. Or you may just have to buy one.

Take it from me, the costs of owning and repairing a motorcycle have to be put into perspective. If you own a house (and live in the Carolinas today), you will know what I mean. If you don't have a house, but you have a wife, you will also know what I mean, and then (of course) when all that goes south, you won't have the house either.

The op had my location, usa. :)

I don't see any personal details on anyone here. The mobile view is extremely minimal. Added requested information.

Thank you for the Ebay link! That looks like a good price, right?

Was on my way to an interview. Made sure he was okay, picked up the mirror and had to run.

Thank you for the diagram link!
