Overview
These mirror mounts are designed specifically for the RSV4 that thread into the bars, however the thread is the same as that used in bars going back to 2000.
They may also be installed in earlier RSVs and Tuonos to allow mounting of CRG or similar bar end mirrors if the OEM weight is removed.
GEN-1 is for CRG or similar bar end mirrors.
The all new GEN-2 version allows for use of all type of bar end mirrors by eliminating the inner collar, you can now slide mirrors that do not spit in two into place before install!
Some manufacturers make brackets that
do not open all the way up, but instead have an almost completely
circular opening with a slot. These brackets get pinched down when the
bolts are tightened to clamp onto handlebars. Motogadget and Rizoma are
two such manufacturers and we call this type of bracket a “closed
style”. Unfortunately, these clamps will not work with our original
designs because the outer diameter of the mounts is too large for the
clamps to slide over to reach the slot. RhinoMoto has started releasing
what we call our Gen 2 kits to work with these mirrors. The bodies are
two pieces so that the mirror can slide onto the smaller diameter
section from the rear. A dress ring is included so that when assembled
these kits look exactly like the original kits. The use of the dress
ring is optional and the mounts are usable without them if desired.
All Gen 2 kits also work with open clamp mirrors. They are compatible with all of our spacers and adapters so that we can easily produce a Gen 2 version of any existing kit.
This 2-piece design consists of bodies CNC machined from billet
steel and replaceable polymer buttons that act as the sliding surface.
An 8mm hex recess is located at the end of the body under the button so
that that a hex key socket can be used to torque these to factory spec.
The button then screws onto the body. Once mounted these have the same
appearance as our other mirror mounts. This kit is offered in black
powdercoated finish only, but with a choice of button style.
Kit contains 2 threaded mirror mounts with choice of buttons, stainless fasteners for the buttons, installation instructions and 2 RhinoMoto logo stickers.
