Mirror, Black Left or Right

Sold individually: Can be used on the left or right side.

These mirrors are identical replacements for the originals, made by the original supplier to BMW. If your mirror is damaged, the mirror glass is loose or the stem is starting to rust, these mirrors are available as a reasonably priced alternative to the rather expensive Original BMW replacement mirror.

These mirrors even include the special nut that is needed to attach the mirrors and that makes them ideal as a retrofit mirror on R1150 RT and R1200 RT models. Left and right are the same, so if you need a set, please order two.

Here is a cost effective and simple solution: Install a pair of these mirrors on your RT and use them for a clear, unobstructed view of what's behind. You can then also adjust the original mirrors slightly more outward than you normally would, to see what's in the lane beside without having to turn and look. A win win situation.

The controls of the RT are technically the same as those used on other models (such as the various models listed above) and so they already have a built-in attachment point for mirrors.

Installation is simple and will take only a few minutes.
Special nut is included
Made in Germany
Sold each

The R1200 RT can greatly benefit from the installation of these mirrors! Though the original mirrors are well placed to provide wind protection, they are not in the optimal spot for a clear view of what's behind and especially if you are traveling with luggage on the rear.

R1200 RT up to 2009:

If you have a large aftermarket windshield, these mirrors may not work for you because the mirrors may contact your windshield when the handlebars are turned fully. We have not tested compatibility with the many aftermarket shields available.
The upper holes in the controls may be a bit too small for these mirrors to fit. In this case, a round file, Dremel Tool or a rolled up piece of sandpaper can be used to slightly enlarge the upper hole, and the mirror will slide right in. This is not a defect of the mirrors, in some cases this extra machining process was omitted on the RT by the factory because it was not foreseen to install mirrors in the control assemblies on the RT.

Mirror 2009 R1200RT

Great addition to stock fairing mounted mirrors. Fit in the 2009 model year handlebar blank location with a few strokes of a round file as described in the Wunderlich video. Greatly increased rear view for added safety.

Just as most have said, the left side mount needs a little filing to get the mirror in, and they fit well with the custom nuts. I have vibration in both mirrors, but that is not the fault of the product. Would like to know if anyone has had any luck cutting down on the vibration by adding lead shot???

Why did it take me so long?

My bike is a 2004 BMW R1150RT. I have always been aware of the holes in the control assemblies that were obviously meant for additional mirrors but nobody ever seemed to carry compatible units in stock. As I was preparing for a 3 week tour with my wife I decided that it was time to do some research. I found these and, after reading the reviews, decided to give them a try. I had read about some issues with fit and was expecting to have to modify the holes to get these installed. Though they both fit fine into the existing holes, the right side switchgear required a small amount of filing of the plastic on the bottom to allow a straight-on mounting of the nut and washer. Once that was done I attached a piece of masking tape to hold the washer and nut on the allen wrench so I could reach up into the housing to start the nut. It grabbed relatively easily and I tightened it down snugly. I saw the recommendation to use Loctite so I did put that on prior to the assembly. The left mirror nut access was a piece of cake. I adjusted their position to suit my preferences but found out later that when my electrically adjusted windshield is in the low position and I am making a tight maneuver, they will contact. No big deal, I just need to remember that. We have put 1500+ miles on the bike since these were installed and neither of them has loosened in the least. I use these almost exclusively now and rarely look at the stock mirrors anymore. They are a bit less clear than the stock ones but are mounted in such a way that I can actually see the traffic around and behind me. They do what I wanted them to do and I couldn't be happier. I'm very glad I bought them!

Mirrors for R1200RT

Good, well made and easy to install. Needed to enlarge hole on left side - as many others have said. Great supplement to stock mirrors on my 2006 1200 RT

Good Upgrade

I just put these on my 2007 R1200 RT. They look great and give me the rear view that the stock mirrors are lacking in. I do have to agree with the others that Wunderlich shoud have these fit out of the box. I do have a dremmel but not the right bit to cut the metal to widen the hole so it was a trip to the hardware store to drop 11 bucks on a bit. The left side was pretty easy there is good clearance but the right side was pretty tricky due to the throttle wires. Also i put locktite on the nuts on the suggestion of other reviewers. despite those two issues, I do recommend these mirrors.

The Wunderlich mirrors offer much improved rear visibility compared to the stock mirrors on the R1150RT. There was no problem in installing the mirrors in the factory holes in the handlebar mounts. I used Locktite to prevent loosening and loss of the nuts. The only problem is some image blurring due to engine vibration at certain speeds. Overall they are well worth the price for safety and peace of mind.

very good product, but had same problem as the other reviewers, had to file out one hole [very quick fix] but on our trip to maine right mirror came loose, needs a lock washer with packaging and or locktite or both.

It's OK, but ....

This is basically the same product that came on the motorcycle, at least when I bought it used. I wish I could find it in something other than plastic. This is the second one I bought. I got a hole in a brake line and it sprayed brake fluid on the mirror. Brake fluid will melt the plastic and no more mirror.
