We had an absolute blast shooting this video!

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.

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!

Doc,
You should certainly win an Academy Award for your Script writing... :clap:
...And your bike should win one for Best Leading Role! :2thumbs:
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! :yes:

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

Doc, thanks for the video, quite cute.
On the serious note this is why "You never touch someone else's bike!"

:agree:... In a perfect World: it wouldn't happen. :gaah:
But wouldn't that be a boring place to live?

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.
File under "redneck engineering."

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.

As mentioned above, one of my mirrors copped a high speed bird strike that was terminal for the bird - a bird that was large enough to make a bloody good meal (except that it was well & truly mashed by said strike!! Yes officer, I am sure I was only doing 70mph :shocked: - cos that's the speed limit here!) & the mirror just shrugged it off & snapped back into position!! Made more of a mess ON my jeans than it did anywhere else - altho I gotta admit it was a near thing with what it almost caused IN my jeans! pps:
So I'm convinced that if that ^^ won't knock the mirrors off, then if you ever find yourself in a scenario where a tether might be the only thing keeping the mirrors in place, then you've almost certainly already got a whole HEAP of waaaayyyy more critical problems & the mirrors probably aren't gonna survive regardless, tethered or not!! :yikes:
