Mirror Angles

[riderbob]

On the all day GS test ride I noticed that you actually have to turn your head to use the mirrors (or is it just me?). On the 1200RT a quick glance is all you need.

Has anyone changed the mirror arms at all? So the mirrors are slightly further forward?

I've done a search (perhaps not a very detailed one), but couldn't find this particular topic.

Thanks,

was it a GSA Bob?

on my 1200 there is no problem and no need to move around

 

[riderbob]

It's a standard GS. Perhaps I notice it more having ridden an RT?

I put the bars forward and the mirrors went with them!

Yes i know what you mean about the RT's mirrors. They are awesome. They are mounted quite a bit forward arn't they? For now i think you just have to adapt to standard mirror mounting. I thought about using larger rectangular ones but the round ones commit to the overall look. Eh oh well

No problem on mine, perfect in focus rear view at all times.

 

[riderbob]

I think I get the idea!

Don't bother with the mirrors!

You got your bike? Enjoy, hope it gives you as much if not more pleasure than your Capo
