There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Lamonster Big Eye Mirrors + Top Cuff on a 2020 RT
- Thread starter WilcoJunoHotel
- Start date
Will these Lamonster top cuffs fit on a '21 RT? Looking at my cuffs there is no top hole for attachments. Is the purpose of the top cuffs to add that? Interested in another mirror option. Even after the BRP dealer fix for the mirror I still have some shake but not sure if its the mirrors or the bike itself.
After having the round mirror for awhile is that still your choice over an oblong shaped mirror? I just ordered this mirror and hardware, can return it if I don't like it but I think your combo may work on my '21 RT.

IIRC, WilcoJuno sold his mirrors due to lack of adjustability. For not much of an investment, I might try these .. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle...212825?hash=item25f40bef59:g:DQEAAOSwK~da2Vg8

Yes, after I "stuck on" the convex blind spot mirrors to the round mirrors they work great. I have them adjusted so that I have a full view of what is going on behind and beside me. The factory mirrors are fine for distance and I use the round ones for lane changing.
As far as adjustment, rather than screwing the mirrors directly into the cuffs, I use a pair of offset adapter dog legs which allow mirror adjustment to almost any setting. These are in the 3rd picture above. In my case, I have them so that I can see the factory mirrors and these in the same glance. You can get the dog leg adapter from eBay or Amazon for $6-15 and IIRC, I think they come in different shapes and sizes. They should come with a ss screw to attach to the cuff and then you screw the mirror directly into the dog leg adapter. I used some blue thread lock on both.
I have almost 4000 miles on my '20 Spyder now and had only about 800 when I installed those mirrors - Would be hard for me to ride without them now.

Sold the Lamonster Big Eye mirrors due to lack of adjustment - still running the round mirrors.

I have mine adjusted so that I see the very end of my handlebars and the top edge of my side cases - it gives me points of reference. My factory mirrors now only vibrate at idle - I bought the Lamonster fix. Most bikes that I have owned in the past had mirror vibration at idle so not a big deal to me as I only use them at idle to check my six while sitting at lights.

Did BRP institute a fix for the mirror shake on the 2021's? I was fully expecting to have to deal with fixing the vibrating mirrors from everything I read here, but my 2021 Sea to Sky doesn't have any shake that I notice, I am perfectly satisfied with them. Did they fix the issue or am I lucky or just not very observant?

There was a factory fix available last fall for the 2020 so perhaps they incorporated the fix on the 2021s. Or, you may have one that simply doesn't vibrate.
I bought my 2020 in late September and my dealer told me the fix was on backorder. I waited for weeks and prodded my dealer often but mine vibrated horribly so I decided to buy the Lamonster fix ~$25 and fixed it myself in about 1/2 hour.
I never did get the factory fix. Sometimes I wonder if the factory fix might be what we used to call "vaporware" - I haven't heard of anyone that actually received the factory fix. I saw the video on it online, that was all.
