Hi Stephen I got a pair of these in February from raid rally products I bought a brand new g310 Gs and converted to a raid rally one I sold it on made a decent profit on it should go into business doing the conversion they sell like hot cakes these mirrors are the best thing since sliced bread I have got a set on my brand new BMW F850 GS sport exclusive absolutely fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻
The originals look like they should be on a sports bike . But man the job to adjust them is a nightmare . The new ones are much better BUT I don’t like how easy they could be stolen . Appart from that there much better
Hello Stephan. Very good mirrors and in my case zero vibrations at any speed! I just wished that the manufacturer(s) would paint the studs black! I ended up using a black "sharpie" on mines. Someone mentions getting parts in Germany! Probably better at this time, since who knows what's happening with Brexit and import/duty taxes! Cheers
Hi Patrick, I have to get some black paint as well. Jus a bit of an odd look. Parts are OK here in Germany , but the prices are slightly higher. Of course there is non of the import duty to add to it. I do miss a good Fish and chips, hopefully I can make my way black soon. 😉
@@MOTOTravelUK FYI, I am certain that you know about FC Moto and I ordered from them a few times and was very pleased with their prices and service. I got things shipped to Italy, France and Spain with no problems. Can't wait to see you back home, enjoying a fish and chips! Cheers
Glad to see you back at it again, question for you, as you are now in Germany, what are you doing for getting parts? Are you ordering from back in UK? Or have you found a good supplier in Germany? Thinking if you ordered from England how it would work with the Vat and import charges. Keep up the good work.
When I'm here in Germany, I can buy from everywhere. Back in England is a different Story. I only buy for a Englisch retailer. It is not ideal but ordering from abroad is a gamble. Soon back in England 👍
I don't order from England at all. This is now out of question here in Germany. Tbh, there is no need. BMWw is German, and most of the other stuff is from outside UK anyway. Amazon is no problem at all, even for UK stuff. I ordered a Oxford charger no surcharges.
+-Martin -Higgins no they don't so you have to order those for an extra tenner. other option is to use a nut. what I did for my satnav on my other bike.
Hi Stephan, very useful and helpful video. Can you help me with the size of that very small allen key you need to take the cover off to get to the main bolt? I am struggling to find this out. Many thanks.
Let me know what you think, really interested in your opinion.
Those mirrors you took off are option 719 upgrades and they sell for $720 USD. Ship ‘em my way and I’ll give you my actual stock mirrors!
You are kidding right?
@@MOTOTravelUK Not kidding about the MSRP. :)
F me, Mark. BMW know how to make money. Thanks for the info. Never looked at it as an extra.
@@MOTOTravelUK did you sell them? I just bought your stock mirrors for my new S1000XR M Sport... they cost me $1000 Australian dollars (600 Euros)
@@Chris-vq5vr no I didn't Chris. I keep them in case I move the bike on.
It looks so much more industrial and rugged to go along with the big adventure bike. Perfect. Thanks for sharing Stephan.
You bet! The old ones are a pain. Well, they are gone 😃

I'm definitely thinking about buying these mirrors. 🤔
They are great. Honestly, it's something excellent and durable.
I'm convinced......now I just need a GS!!!! LOL
Well, that would be a start 😉
I have a sidecar so I’m sticking with my option 719 parts. Otherwise I agree with your choice and logic. Great video! Danke
The stock mirrors are fein, as long you don't hit the Deck. 😁
tip: if you dont like the bright color of the mounting stud, you can use some metal blue to make them black.
Looks like a great idea, be interesting to see how they perform (more or less mirror vibration etc.)
I'll make a high speed test on the Autobahn 👍
Those originals look like the billet 719 optional CNC items, not standard but your point is still valid; thanks for sharing and keep up the good work👍
Thanks for watching! Yes, they really were bugging me. Take care Gareth👍

Hi Bud. There is a look for those. I may get it asap. Cheers for dropping by.

Can I get the old ones lol 😆
😄 Well if you don't try. They are for wenn the bike getting sold one day. And if I remember and find them again.

@@MOTOTravelUK thx, I must be just looking in the wrong places.
They look good Stefan, do they come with lockable arms? There a bit easy to pinch with just the Y screw
+-Martin -Higgins no they don't so you have to order those for an extra tenner. other option is to use a nut. what I did for my satnav on my other bike.
why do you need the stud? just slap the RAM-B-349-1 (10mm 1.5 thread) directly, right?
The stud is included with the set to alow different 🏍
Hi Stephan, very useful and helpful video. Can you help me with the size of that very small allen key you need to take the cover off to get to the main bolt? I am struggling to find this out. Many thanks.
Are you talking about the one on the original assembly?
Which lenght did you ordered?
It was the long one for a GS. This includes the studs you require for the GS grips.
Jobs a goodun.. that sounded so English :)
Just a little. 30 years in Liverpool left his mark 😆
Do you want to sell the stock mirrors
Hi Ali. I keeping them for a while.
@@MOTOTravelUK perfect and I’m interested if you want to sell them
Received my Doubletake mirrors and 10mm X 1.5 adapter (BMW Base as suggested by the dealer)for my 2021 GSA....the adapter is too small.... any ideas?
There should be two different bolts with it. Check with the manufacturer.
They are great to deal with.
