broke the upper attachment on my mirror so made some out of aluminium
One the topic of mirrors. My left side mirror (the actual mirror, no the brakects holding the thing in place) somehow cracket into pieces but it is still in place. How dificult or expensive it is to just buy the mirror to replace it or they dont sell the mirror alone? Any ideas are appreciated.

I just installed the 3 Magnet set on my 2016 RTL last week. My top plastic clip was broken on my left mirror, and I had used an aluminum clip, but that also broke. Also, the bottom wire clips were all bent out of shape, and both mirrors were vibrating. So I finally bit the bullet, and bought the Magic Mirror 3 Magnet set, and did the conversion. The Magnets did NOT effect either of my Analog gauges. The mirrors are now easy to take off, and to put back on, and the vibration is gone. I now wish I had done it sooner, rather than put up with the crappy OEM clips for 43,000 miles before making the switch. I watched Lamonstar’s Installation Video before doing the change, and followed his instructions carefully, with out a glitch. Money well spent, IMO.
I just rec'd a set of Magic Mirrors today from Lamont. They've been talked up so much I'm going to install them tomorrow on my new 2018 RTL w/only 500 miles.
Just a quick note on those magnets. As Lamonster says in his video, they're STRONG. I had a couple of them just apart enough that the skin on my L middle finger got caught in between. The magnets didn't "snap" together but just "squeeeeezed" together. My finger was stuck. Only way I could get my finger out was to lose some skin. I didn't realized I was bleeding until I got some blood on the bike. Now, it's MINE.
Yep did the 3 magnet replace on 2011 RT but also rigged up tethers quick release clips so covered all round if fall off. I did replace the analogue gauges though - right side with digital volt meter and left with ram mount ball to hold phone (less clutter on handle bars)
