DescriptionThe whole story▼

An R18 Classic weighs the better part of 350 kilograms. Whatever happens behind you, moving sideways is not one of the answers available: this motorcycle changes direction deliberately or not at all, which leaves changing speed as the only real response.

Key Features

  • Supplied per side — fit a pair or replace one
  • Clamp holds its setting under airflow
  • Glass positioned to clear the rider's shoulder
  • Stem deforms under impact rather than shearing
  • CNC-machined aluminium stem, matt black
  • European type approval E1*81R00/02*0143

You Cannot Move Sideways

That makes early information worth disproportionately more than on a light bike, because the useful reaction takes longer to execute. Seeing a situation develop two seconds sooner is the whole margin.

An 1800cc Boxer at Idle

The largest boxer BMW has built rocks the whole motorcycle from side to side when it is stopped. Keeping the mirror's mass close to the clamp is what keeps the picture readable at a set of lights.

Machined and Matt

Aluminium stem, shaped head, matt black, with left and right ordered separately.

Road Approval

The applicable approval is E1*81R00/02*0143, granted under UN Regulation 81. It is a European type approval rather than a German ABE, and it is recognised across the EU without additional registration.

Scope of Delivery

Delivered per side. Left and right are separate items with their own part numbers, so a pair or a single replacement are equally straightforward.
