4.1 | Preparation
First of all, choose a well-lit place and use a suitable stand to make sure there is no risk
of your motorcycle toppling over. Then remove the existing mirrors. Remember to check
whether one of them has a left-hand thread (e.g. the right mirror on Yamaha bikes). Left-
hand threads are generally identified by a notch on the hexagon of the nut.
Now you need to check the thread of the old mirrors and choose the correct size of
thread adapter from those supplied with the gazzini Mirror. Screw the adapter into
the base of the mirror or screw the mirror directly to the instrument cluster with the
integrated thread. Motorcycles over 125 cc from other Japanese manufacturers
generally have a thread with a diameter of 10 mm and a pitch of 1.25 (written:
M10x1.25). Newer BMWs with short threads tend to have a thread diameter of 10 mm,
but a pitch of 1.5 (written M10x1.5). Use the appropriate thread adapter for these.
4.2 | Attaching the mirror
If the vehicle has a left-hand thread, screw the supplied thread adapter for the
right-hand side of the vehicle to the mirror base and firmly tighten it. For the sake of
symmetry you should then also install the appropriate supplied thread adapter on the
left-hand side. If there is a right-hand thread on both sides, the mirror can be screwed
directly into the instrument cluster. Now align the mirror roughly to the rider's position
and tighten the mirror on the instrument cluster using the lock nut (wrench size 17),
and fit the rubber cap for protection. Then adjust the mirror head at the ball joint so
that you have an optimal view of following traffic when you are sitting on your bike.
5 | Storage
Until it is installed, the gazzini Mirror should be kept in its original packaging and
stored in a place that is protected against weather and moisture.
6 | Cleaning and care
Use warm soapy water or motorcycle cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the gazzini
Mirror. Never use cleaners which may corrode aluminium. Finally, apply motorcycle
wax to seal the surface of the mirror and protect it against the weather. Take care not
to get any wax on the mirror lens or plastic parts.
