2010 R1200RT Mirrors

bullet · Mar 12, 2012

Has anyone out there added extra mirrors to their late model RT?
There's a problem with the standard mirrors reflecting a very clear view of my camping gear.
Something to help me see over or around the luggage would be helpful.
The bar sets have been changed and a standard mount appears out of the question.
Any help would be appreciated.

Call Wunderlich. I don't remember the part number or the price but whatever I paid was worth the price. You can see the mirrors as a result in the photo. You buy the parts that fit on the handlebars so you have a place to mount the mirrors. I bought the extendable mirrors from them as well. I wanted the mirrors for the same reason you mentioned as I could it see over my Helen Two Wheels Bags without them.

The mirrors from a F800GS will attach with no modifications to the bars. I have just bought a 2010RT and a friend showed me his 2010RT with the mirrors added. He pulls a Bushtec trailer so he added the mirrors.

I use spots too;

The tiny one inch or two inch spot(convex) mirrors are my saviors too

. I've used'em for years, would not be without them stuck on my mirrors. Randy

Thanks, Polar Bear...

... but with spot mirrors on the stocks, all I'll get is a nice, convex view of the luggage.
I need to be able to see over or around the camping gear.
The mirrors from the F800GS sound good to me if they're as easy to install as Jim Dubick says they are.

K1200RS Mirrors on R1200RT

There have been a few threads on this subject over the years. In the 2005-2009 models of the RT, there are appropriate holes in the switchgear area of the handlebars which accept the K1200RS mirrors. This may have changed starting in 2010, but you could easily take a look and see if they're still there. The result is a dramatically-improved view to the rear. Here's a photo of how my 2008 RT looks with those mirrors:

I also added the little, round, movable convex mirrors to the upper-inside corner of the OEM mirrors to give me a view into the blind spot on each side.

on the 2010 models, you have to get brackets and then the mirrors. The R1200 GS mirrors are a bit more expensive, but are bigger. I'm having them put on for exactly the reasons mentioned - camping gear across the back seat means no rear view whatsoever.

So here is what you need. Buy them because it is your only choice. You can choose any mirror you want but you have to buy these for a mount. Don't listen to erroneous information.

Mirrors I bought as they can extend for big or high loads.

Wunderlich solution looks good, and cheaper than the BMW solution...

Awesome...

... this is why I joined the BMWMOA!!

I added the stock mirrors and mounting hardware from an F-850 GS. the fit great and work well. I wish I'd done this way sooner. the view behind is great

+1 with exGman!!

I have the same mirrors and they are great. Just make sure you also order the mounting kit (nuts & washers).

Hammam · Mar 18, 2012

I have the clamps, but with the 1200 GS mirrors. Works great.

'10 12RT Mirrors

I have the no hole handlebar version so mounting aux. mirrors is an expensive problem. The Wunderlich option looks like the best and will cost $188, wow. Has anyone tried the Napoleon bar end mirrors? Cost is about $50-80 but they look like the mirror will be too far from the line of sight, taking your attention off the road ahead.
Comments??

Tell tell how do F800GS mirrors mount? Don't you still have to buy the saddle that replaces the saddle of the brake clamp?

Get the clamps from Wunderlich. The mirrors are up to you.

Has anyone tried the Saeng Mirrors??

Got this from A&S Cycles. Just installed it today and fiddled with the settings riding home. The quality and functionality of the product is good. Mounts rather nicely and provided better review view visibility. Rather pleased with the results so far.
