How many of us have those Magic Magnetic mirror mounts?

[ricford]

Does anyone know just how many of us bought those fantastic magnetic mirrors. The initial flurry kinda outstripped those available but I expect now it's better. Still would like to know how many. I really enjoy taking mine off just to show off.

Just ordered a set from Lamonster. It appears that many folks are not using any mirror safety catch teather should something happen. Any good reasons for not using them? Are they that sure the magnets will hold it?

I took a wire tie and ran it threw the wire connector so if it should flip off, the wire would be the safety wire. Seemed to be a good idea to me:yes: Good luck, and go get some Magic Mirrors you will not be sorry!

I designed a simple easy to use sheet metal tab that prevents the mirror from coming loose or if it did, a 300lb. test line that prevents the mirror from falling more than 3 inches...………. " Utah Pete " has some pics that He might send you …… Happy New Year …. Mike :thumbup:

Magic mirrors are GREAT. If you don't have a set and do your own work on your :spyder2:----- ya need this mod. Tether of some kind is a must ( IMHO ). How many of "us" have them? Contact the OEM.

Lew, imho you need the magnets MORE if you don't work on your Spyder - WHY … because dealer Tech's are more likely to Damage the OEM system or not properly attaching the mirrors, which then allows them to FALL off..... BRP doesn't make any system for preventing the mirror from hitting the pavement. A friend of mine bought a New RT, and both mirrors were Not properly attached...… Mike :thumbup:

i dont use tethers ,have about 5000 miles on mine and on some extremely ruff roads dont move at all

 

[trikermutha]

Fishing line works well.

Fishing line works well.

:thumbup:.... The 300lb test line I'm using is " fishing " line ….. the kind they use to go after Great Whites ……….. Mike :thumbup:

I used the ones by Tricled. I would say they hold the mirrors far better than the OEM clips and less frustrating to get on and off.

As stated above I use tethers …. they cost me a little time and about .10 to make ….. :agree: I don't think my mirrors can or will come off, and I only use Two magnets ….. But Paying approx. $250.00+/- ( for a new mirror assembly ) if one does come Off, well this is not a good option...……… Mike :thumbup:

Mine came with tethers, best add on I've installed. Used to be the worst part of maintenance.

 

[trikermutha]

The Magic Mirrors saved me a lot of aggravation. Was buying more mirror clips all the time and bending them to make the mirror hold on to the Spyder. Not anymore. One good tap and the mirror is off and goes back on just as fast.


But still use the tethers that came with mine at the time. They dont come with them anymore from what I hear.

 

[Chiisai]

BEST added addon that I have! I will never again ride my Spyder without them on the mirrors. When I trade my 2016 in for a new model, the magic mirrors will be the first addon I get.

 

[Spydermon]

It sounds like I better get a set too.

 

[treva]

Absolutely up there with the best accessory [ maybe no.1 ] you can fit to a RT.
