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.

If your LT is anything like my RS... EDIT- They're not. So never mind. Lol.

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

(Be careful not to knock the bike over while doing this.)

If your LT is anything like my RS, you just have to line up the clips on the mirror with the knobs on the bike and push. Hard. Sometimes holding it with one hand to hold in position, and knocking it on with the other hand is useful.
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. Smile


The LT mirrors mount much differently than the RS mirrors.

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