let me ask a stupid hypothetical question. if you cruising down the road, and a bird happens to fly into your mirror, would it knock it off the magnets. just how much force does it take to pull them off

John,
Peter in Australia reported that he had a magpie fly into his mirror and it did move his mirror, but it snapped back into place on it's own. So that question was answered and that is a large bird!

I don't have an RT, so I'm not understanding this. Why would you want your mirrors to be removable?

I'm as happy as a clam in wet sand with mine.
I had one of my LED turnsignal indicators not working, and I had been dreading the thought of pulling the mirrors to investigate the problem.
With these mounts: I'm already done, and everything is happily blinking as it should!
We are going to start doing a few of these! They are such fun!!

Just about everything done to an RT starts with the mirror removal.

I gotta confess: when my RT's mirrors stared vibrating, I made a wad out of some duct tape (sticky side out) and placed it between the mirrors and the bodywork. The sticky wad eliminated the vibration.

I do not recall the company but someone started to produce a 9" long coated wire with loops at both ends. You would utilize existing screws to tether the mirror to the bike. Its been 10 years since I've seen the product.
heres something similar off eBay.

Doc - great video - when I started watching it my two granddaughters (8 and 5 - it was the music they heard) came running and watched... they both said, "Uh oh - that guy's in trouble." But, then they saw it fixed and got the point. Great job!

Glad you liked it! And since the little ones got the leadin, hat means a lot to me! Exactly what we were trying to do!

Hey Doc, I sent you an email a while ago directly from your website. I assume you did not get it. I had questions about your belt tensioner. I still have those questions, is it easier for you if I PM'd them via this forum or send it again via email?
