Has anyone mounted K12 mirrors on a K11RS? Do they fit the mounting holes in the K11 handlebars and are there any issues with hitting the upper fairing on tight turns?
Thanks |

If that is correct, I ... |

| It was the wiring underneath pushing out against the side panel on the right side. I zip-tied them down more securely and that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for the tip. |

What part did you use for the fog and driving light relays? Did you mount them in the electrical box under the tank with the existing relays?
Thanks! |
