General topics » extended mirrors

Does anyone know if there are extended mirrors for the R1200RS?
The main thing I see are my shoulders :(

All the extenders I've seen were made for screw in mirrors. With the way the RS mirrors mount it may be hard to find extenders that work.
Don't give up your search, I've been wrong plenty of times :)

Have you or anybody else found a upgrade for the existing mirror? A friend of mine complains of the quality and the blind spot and is looking to improve.

Cheers

What have you tried on adjusting? My go to is always have your elbows barely visible in the inner corners of the mirror. Set correctly for vertical, that should reveal most things behind you to the left and right...not that you can afford to NOT check your blind spots. I was able to do this when stock and after putting on the BarkBusters which required repositioning the mirrors.

Work well on my R1200RS. Only negatives might be lane splitting which I only do in California so infrequently and mirrors no longer fold forward.

Once I figure out how to post photos I’ll attempt to post a couple.

"Here's Darrell's pictures.

I've got garage envy ...

The mirror arms have a small line near the pivot at the front that lines up with a line on the mount. Don’t have to have them there but that is the BMW ‘recommended’ position.

I did have a picture (there was some paint missing so it was replaced) but I may have deleted it.

Found it. The line is just (barely) visible bottom left. A5929A7F-F0D4-48BD-A432-30241F3C8EFA.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Absolutely. A lot of riders I work with have their mirrors set to show too much of their arms/shoulders. Maybe to reassure themselves that they haven't fallen off? If possible tweak them out until you gat very little arm showing.

It’s hard to picture what those do other than perhaps add a second axis of articulation?
