Magic mirrors or not... Really?

[Peter Aawen]

That's the top clip that was giving us all the grief - the parts of the placcy 'keyhole' thing that went over the mounting pin would break out, leaving nothing to hold the top of the mirror onto the mounting pin.... THAT was the problem - very few of those top keyhole things ever lasted long enough for anyone here to have issues with the bottom clips!! :thumbup:

Is there a similar product/solution that would work for my 2016 ST?
I've had both mirrors "loosen" after hitting a particularly bad bump or pothole, usually from the bottom, and while they still pop back on, I'm afraid this may not last.

After I installed my Magic Mirrors, I went back to removing all the panels called for in the oil change. I had previously not been removing the upper front panel (the one with the 2 pins that go into the lower panel). You can remove 2 of the screws and lift it up enough to release the pins from the panel underneath and remove it. For me in could be very frustrating to remove that panel and get it and all its tabs where they belong. Now I can remove the mirrors with no fear, the upper, the lower panel and when its time to replace the lower panel I can do it very easily. Great reduction in frustration and just a little more time in taking off that panel. MY mirrors don't affect my gauges but then I did remove the factory gauges which never worked right anyway, and put in aftermarket gauges which don't seem to be affected. Very happy with my mirrors. BRP should have done something like this to begin with.

I put them on my 2013 RT and the gauges work fine. I did take some thin thermostat wire and make some tethers incase a bad bump bounced them free but I suspect if a bump is bad enough for the mirrors to come off I will have wanted a tether on me too.

Do you need magic mirrors? No.
Are they worth it? Absolutely.
I did accidently break one of my clips and rode with a shaky mirror for a while until I bought the magic mirrors. I also use a half cover when traveling and it has never pulled the mirror off; not even in a thunderstorm. I have hit hard enough bumps that I ripped off the "skid plate" panel underneath but my mirrors never moved. I have not had any issue with my gauges either.

I have them on my 2018 and love them. Saves time and very easy to use.

I purchased them and will now testify that they are NICE! No gauge problems, Hold tight and NICE FIT! I put 350 miles on today and they never moved. I slipped on my cover just to test everyones testimony that they would stay there and guess what THEY DID! Thanks everyone for your input. I am now a believer and supporter for the next guy to ask.

I got them after my mirrors started shaking,they fixed that problem.No issues with my half cover which is a tight fit bc of the luggage rack.I dont have a tether and Im not worried about it.These magnets are super strong and if you put 2 together before mounting on bike youre gonna have some trouble getting them apart,the instructions mention that.
