    Default How do mirrors attach on a F3 Limited?

    I'm upgrading from a RTS to a 2017 F3 Limited and was wondering how the side view mirrors attach to the bike. I'm familiar with the clips and pins on the RTS but didn't know if the F3 uses the same clips and pins. I currently have the magic mirror magnets installed on my RTS and was wondering if these will work on the F3? if they will I'll be taking them off the RTS before I trade it in. Thanks

    Sorry won't work on the F3 . Mirrors don't pop off like the RT .
    Happy Owner

    very different attachment methods between the two
    F3 is pretty simple, one bolt from underneath and two bolts to remove the mount
    I don't think the magic mirrors will work on your F3

    The F3L does have clips and pins but not the same setup as the RT.

    Your last picture shows the pins that are on the mirror and look very similar to the pins on the RT. Do you have a picture of the clips that the pins go into?

    learned something about F3 mirrors.
    Never had or saw a need to go that deep into mine.

    Does that mean the mirrors don’t need to be removed in order to take the upper panels off
    unlike the RT
