Magic Mirrors for an ST?
Has anyone attempted to mount the ST Mirrors with the
Magic Mirror magnets? Right mirror is OK.
My left mirror is vibrating. The pins are OK.
The clips have been tighten to no avail.
My only idea is to replace the mounting plate.
Any ideas??

Most of F3 and the RT 2020 will have the same mounting system like the former ST.
May be someone wil construct something similar for the new RT..

Haze...perfect timing on this question...sadly, I am here for a similar reason.
Left hand mirror mount, pictured...small tab for the top clip broke.
I did find the part on cheap cycle parts...though the part I have in hand is 705008212 and the part on the fiche is 705008211. It's pretty cheap, $20 or so, and I'd probably order a handful of clips for $8 apiece just to have on hand.
First I will be calling Lamonster tomorrow to see about fitting the Magic Mirrors in hopes of eliminating this and future issues.
I'll post back with next steps.

ST Mirror mounts
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I'll be pulling the left mirror assy off the bike again next week.
Will take a look at the small tab for the top clip.
I will also take some time to check for space for magnets and mounting hardware.

Even if it's possible to replace the Pins that I assume are on the other/male side of what you're showing us above, you'd hafta work out how the remove the broken bit & the two wire spring bits and replace them with steel plates so the magnets could hang onto them. On the RT's, each of those three female 'recievers' that grab the pins are a small removable/replaceable pellet so that it's a fairly simple matter to undo a few screws & screw back in a little shaped metal plate..... and that's not something that I can see being done quite so easily on that backing plate you're showing us - the receiver bits appear to be an integral & non-removable part of the whole plate!!
Just type 'Can Am Magic Mirror Mounts' into your browser's search bar & check out the images of the shaped plates, and those showing them fitted into the mirror.... it'll become instantly clear why the Magic Mirror Mounts as they exist right NOW won't work for the ST's, but it doesn't really look to be impossible to adapt the magnets (which are the pin replacements) to suit; so all you've gotta do then is get some appropriately shaped & secured metal plates into the right spots on the placcy plates your pics show! That should be EEEAAAASY....... at least from here where I'm sitting back & watching all this unfold anyhow!
Thanks for the feedback, Peter!
I've added a pic of the back of the mirror housing with the pins. These look easy enough to remove and replace with the magnets, and I'd suppose it possible to use a dremel to grind back the plastic bits on the mount base for placing the metal plates...maybe. I'll continue to ponder for a bit.

Hi Mike...dunno about RTs but...
Yes...the pic is also the Left side mirror...
Yes, the larger upper pin slides down into the tabbed slot on the mount (left-ward or front-ward, however ya wanna call it) side of which snapped off, as shown in first photos. The two lower pins on the mirror are smaller and snap into the two spring clips, both appear to be ok.
Thanks!

I have not heard of these. I'll look these up. My mirrors are getting loose. I may have to have you tube lead me through a dis-assembly.

I have TricLED mirrors on my 2013 ST. They are the same mirror p/n as the F3. https://tricledusa.com/collections/s...ide-vu-mirrors
They glue onto the ST Mirror. I had to augment the TricLED glue with some E6000 flexible epoxy.
The mirrors are great for wide view. Unfortunately the mirrors still shake if the mounts are damaged.
