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!

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

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.

Improved view over OEM mirrors, had to use a file to enlarge to hole but otherwise a no fuss installation

Exactly the OEM part I needed at 2/3 the price. Quick delivery. Thanks.

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.
