They do look the same don't they? Just wished they were up as high as the OE mirrors but it's not a problem.

I actually prefer the lower mirrors. They have nice wide angle view and I can see all the way behind me.

May a lot you my dear fellows you know about this, but I am adding and this one in here because I see a lot of comments about electrical connections in which some peoples saying about a electrical device ( auxiliary lights, horns, GPS ) was draining there battery! Well good fellows the ACC cable is to be connected to a fuse which is closing when you kill the switch! Now what I want to say with this small fuse box which I found on Ebay UK ( all of you using your internet search, I am sure you are going to find it ) you can add other 4 electrical accessories and is having a relay ( which you still need to find and connect to a ACC source on your bike ) but you'l not need to connected all the others, how ever the cable which is coming from the device for the ACC, you are going to connected with the + cable from device on the same spot for the box +!

My next project is to make this one to work



12V Klaxon Ahoooogah Old Style Vintage Air Horn Chrome Klaxon Car Truck Trumpet

to work throw this one ( look for a large one for our handlebars )



Motorcycle Handlebar ATV Headlight Fog Spot Light ON OFF Switch Waterproof

from the same original BMW original horn switch. I have a problem to cover the wires on the back of the horn ( because the Chines are not using any cover for this one ) ! If any one have any idea how to make waterproof that back side, I am open for suggestions, please!

26/04/2026 Update, unfortunate on this one, I was not been able to make them work and the reason behind this I think it is the switch, is something wrong with the switch ( the wiring plan which we see in the photo is not working unfortunate ), so I will do it working by himself! I do not drop the idea, I will still looking in the future!

I try to make it work from the same OEM horn push button, but unfortunate I was not been able to find a proper waterproof switch to change between them ( I do not want them to work together ) so I did it to work throw his own switch!Installation of a Horn with Vintage Sound on BMW R18 B

Today I install the Aoocci Motorcycle BSD Radar – Blind Spot Detection & Lane Change Assist
Is working but with out any install instructions on the box you are going to make mistakes having the radar upside down so left to right and right to left! Have in mind the signals are marked with L and R, but the radar is having just an arrow, so you need to guess ( any one have a contact for Harry Potter to help me ) which direction that arrow is going to be! Also I will prefer between the radar and all the others to have one more connection, to be more flexible on installation! So you need to understand, after my first test when I was having the cable under ( the light signal I have them like the marker is saying L and R ), but when cars was over passing me on the Right the Left signal it was lighting, so this is the reason which you are seeing the cable on the top ( arrow up ) because I do not want to install all the cables again. Simple if you want to have the cable under, then from beginning you need to change the signal between Right to Left and Left to Right!!

Now about price, me I paid about £64.27 Aoocci Motorcycle BSD Radar – Blind Spot Detection & Lane Change Assist, but after I found on Aliexpress Unmarked but to me is looking the same ￡38.19 ABQD!Motorcycle Radar Detection Radar Detection System Blind Spot Radar Detection System Millimeter Wave Sensor Merging Assistan and a second one ￡46.48 Motorcycle Safety Kit 24GHz BSD Radar Blind Spot Monitor & Lane Change Alarm IP67 Waterproof Moto Warning System accesorios moto, so you have the possibility to chose! Me I all ready buy it when I soo this ones and because this are not Aoocci ( which are still made in mother China ), you are not going to lose, have in mind no instalation description in the box, also the Aoocci device is not marked nowhere with the company name !!

Does it or can it double as a helmet lock??

I used a helmet lock, which was originally designed to replace the clutch reservoir bolt on the handlebars in the past; I really didn't like the way it looked at the tail end of the Model B seat.

I'm not sure if I posted any pictures in the past...

Star-Lord, sorry I do not understand your question!
