Yup! :thumbup: Muth has been in our posts for quite a few years now. It's not a secret that the OEM turnsignal indicators cannot be seen in normal daylight. :gaah: Muth has the nicest-looking fix for the issue... at a price! :shocked:

So is this something Rivco is making or is gonna make or is just experimenting with? I like the idea of the mirrors out on a stalk.My elbows are in the way of seeing about half of my mirrors and I have been thinking of trying to mount a mirror higher up and further out.

Rivco knows nothing about what I did. All the items except the mirrors were designed and fabricated by myself.

Talking about motor oil on this website is more painful than a root canal.

FWIW, I did look into the Muth mirror upgrade before designing my own mirror installation. It is a quality product.

I also recall reading or seeing a video saying that when using heat to release the oem mirrors to use great care. Seems the BRP plastic softens at a much lower temp than the car mirrors more commonly upgraded.

Hi Paul,
I like your "Out of the Box" thinking! :clap: :2thumbs:
Are you planning on making this for other folks, or will you keep your bike unique?

Currently it will remain unique. I have considered how I would change the design if produced. I know the effort I need to make to really dial in the design.

This is not an inexpensive mod. Rivco is $250 alone for mirrors, so as a kit to be plug and play, guessing it would be around $500 which seems a bit more than most folks here would spend.

Honest answer, maybe, but for now it remains unique to our 2014 RTs.

I never liked the mirror style from day one. The floppy mounts fueled the fire and the dim turn indicators on the instrument panel just added more reason to do something.

I first was going to use Audi A4 mirrors I got at the boneyard. Next I was scoping out VW mirrors. In the end, I decided on these.

Best safety feature is that now the queen can easily see without me telling her, upcoming turn.

Sorry I heard Rivco in the video and assumed that the whole thing was from them. Its a great idea,I think the stock mirrors suck as,at least for me they are partially blocked by my arms/elbows.
