I want to install the Magic mirrors I see there are different companies selling them is there a preference as to which one to use.
I would go to Lamonster Garage
Definitely LaMonsters version. The Slingmods version has larger magnets meaning you have to eliminate one of the body bolts. Not a big fan of that. LaMonsters version keeps all OE body bolts. I have LaMonsters version and ride on some fairly rough roads from time to time. My mirrors haven't moved in 6 months.
Definitely LaMonster's. I recommend going with the "two per side" so you KNOW the mirror is secure on one factory post. They work great.

I like mine from LaMonster no problems at all
I have the LaMonster "click: http://www.lamonstergarage.com/lamon...-am-spyder-rt/ There is two installation videos there too.
I have the 3 magnet per side setup and didn't have to remove any OEM attachment screws. The MM's work GREAT.
If your handy DIY them. save $$$$$$$ for the gas you will use after you have them.
I think Lamont only sells the (3) per side version these days. They won't come loose. No need for the (2) magnet version, even if you can find them.Quote:

Do they work on the 2020 RTL?
AFAIK, Nope! The 2020's & on apparently have mirror mounts sorta similar to the F3's! :shocked:Quote:

For added safety add a zip tie thru the wires on your turn signal wire harness coming out of the mirror at the connector that slides inside the panel and you will be a happy camper. My wife just went on a two thousand mile trip just after I put hers on and she was very pleased.
I just learned from Lamonster that Magic Mirrors won't work on a 2020 RTL.
He dose have a fix for the wobbling mirrors on the 2020!Quote:

Just received an email from Lamonster stating he is working on a Magic Mirror fix for the 2020 Spyder and should be ready in a couple of weeks. Since the mirrors need to be removed often if you do your own work, I would prefer the magnetic fix over BRP's screw fix. Stay tuned!
Hi KVRB, advanced apology for my novice question... I was to understand that the 2020 mirrors don't need to be often removed, like with prior year models...?Quote:

Thanks in advance,

The mirrors do not need to be removed for routine maintenance, on the 2020. I like Lamont’s magic mirrors for the 2019 And older better than the rest. I have installed quite a few sets.
We have a fix for the 2020 RT. Works great, much less expensive than BRP.
Thank ya Sir.Quote:

We shall see. If the dealer tries to invoice for the fix, I'll be a customer of yours instead.
Hi Truckle! I also am a novice and have not attempted any maintenance on my 2020 yet. I was referencing different videos I have been watching about 2019 & earlier models I have been watching for the last year. And thanks to cptjam for enlightening us.Quote:
