Ok, I accidentally knocked off one of my mirrors. Didn't break, but I can't figure out how to snap it back on. Am I missing something obvious or a special trick? Thanks guys. _________________ '93 K1100LT

If your LT is anything like my RS... EDIT- They're not. So never mind. Lol. _________________ "If you wanted an easy life, why do you own an old bike?"

Line up the two bottom holes and press those on, then get the top one to attach.

It helps if you get one at a time. And you need a bit of perseverance and patience to get used to it.
Hope this helps. |
The LT mirrors mount much differently than the RS mirrors. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

Got her done by just pushing hard. I had been trying to bang it on. Duh.
Thanks again. _________________ '93 K1100LT
