Hello!
A mirror on my motorbike was destroyed. So I have bought one on fleebay. I have took the glass from both and try to put newer one (form K1100RS) to old assembly (looks like K100RS < 1990). And there comes the surprise. In K1100RS a metal clip that locks on metal ball of mirror is absent in older mirror assembly. So I have ordered an "external" clip from BMW.
The second try: I put the mirror inside assembly and the whole thing does not get deep enough. I can't snap the clip on the groove of mirror- sic! So I have took the old mirror to compare - the length of pint is the same, there is a kind of groove on the end of the pin instead of ball, yet the length and profile of both mirrors are the same. They both go equally deep into mirror assembly, and yet not deep enough.
Any advice in that matter, any modification to mirror assembly/ locking pin?
Best regard,
