Mirror
I had mirror off, and was putting it back on, and broke the top plastic catch. Not the ones with the wire, but the top one that slides on. I called parts guy, and he said I needed whole new mirror assembly. I said no way, it's a little clip held on with 2 screws. He then said he couldn't figure out what part I wanted, I needed to find the part # and call him back. I'm about ready to find a new dealer. Can anyone give me the right part number please, so I can do his job for him ? Thanks

Talk to Lamonster or one of the other Forum Vendors of this sort of thing & get yourself a set of Magic Mirror Mounts - they do away with the fragile & fiddly placcy mounts & replace them with rare earth magnets that make removing & replacing your RT Mirrors a breeze, even one handed, but holding them more securely & with less inherent chance of vibration. Check 'em out at magicmirrors.shop & watch the vids, but remember that's their 'home site' in Tasmania, Australia - you can get them quicker from the local vendors like Lamontster & other Forum Vendors
Ps: you should be able to get replacement Mirror mounting 'pellets' from BRP or cheapcycleparts locally too, but why would you? They're only going to break again....

I thought the magnets in the Magic Mirrors mess up the temperature and fuel gauge readings ?
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Not if you put them on right. Mine messed my gauges up initially, and all I had to do was reverse the magnets (flip them over) and the problem disappeared. They work great!

I find this very interesting .... Magnets usually have two Poles a North and a South ( they do make Magnets with multiple poles in the same magnet !! ) they both produce the exact same Magnetic Field ..... Do the instruments know which is which ??? , even if they did , why would it matter both Poles produce the same field ............. PS my magnets are encased in a steel cup and only project the field out from the magnet to the metal plate ....only about 5% are projected from the rear ( or case side ) ...... Mike
