Features
moto gadget mo. view mirrors are unique. They are made from one piece of aluminium and are unbreakable, super thin, frameless and many times lighter than conventional glass mirrors. The lower weight reduces the vibrations of the mirror and thus significantly improves the view. The reflecting surface is milled directly into the aluminium body by diamond cutting tools and then coated with a wafer-thin, glassy layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2). This coating is UV, weather and chemical and abrasion resistant. An object viewed in a glass mirror was reflected two times. First time at the glas surface and the second time in the reflective coating at the bottom side of the glass plate. This is causing a slight unsharp image. Because an object viewed in a metal mirror is reflected only once, the visible image is sharper and appears clearer.
Handling glassless mirrors
Despite the coating ensures abrasion resistance, glassless mirrors are more sensitive than glass mirrors. Contact with hard objects may damage the mirror surface. The protective fi lm must remain on the mirror during installation. The fi lm may only be removed after the attachment to the handlebar is done. Metal objects such as jacket zips, helmet buckles, watch straps, rings, rivets, keys, vehicle parts etc. can damage the mirror surface. Do not put your helmet on the mirrors, the metal helmet buckle may scratch the mirror surface. Cleaning the mirror with water, soap and a soft cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects.
Vibrations
The handlebars are stimulated to vibrate by motor vibrations. Changing the handlebar confi guration, i.e. changing the weight, particularly at the end of the handlebars, can lead to an increase in vibrations in the grip area. Permanent, strong vibrations in the grip area can lead to numbness in the hands, reduced visibility in the rear-view mirror or even breakage of the mirror arm. If strong vibrations occur in the grip area after removing handlebar end caps, grips, shortening the handlebars, etc., handlebar weights are required to reduce these vibrations
Installation
Part of the delivery are 3 screws: M10x1.5 / M10x1.25 (one groove at head) and M10x1.25 left-hand thread (two grooves at head). Grease the thread of the M10 screw well before mounting. After aligning the mirror, the M10 screw is tightened with a torque of 20Nm and the M6 screw in the mirror arm with a torque of 8Nm
After aligning the mirror, the M5 clamping screw inside the arm is tightened with a torque of 4Nm. The mirror arms are made of anodized aluminium. The high-quality surface is ceramic-like and very hard, but can still be worn away by permanent friction contact with gloves. Select a mirror location so that your gloves cannot come into contact with the mirror arms
The orientation of the mirror must be above the handlebars and the vertical
distance between the ball head and clamp must be 40mm. After aligning the
mirror, the M6 clamping screw in the arm is tightened with a torque of
3Nm
After aligning the mirror, the M5 clamping screw in the arm is tightened with a torque of 3Nm
