Quick answer: Most BMW standard (perch-mount) mirrors use a 10mm x 1.5 thread, but many popular models — R nineT, S1000R/RR, F800R, and the GS family — have 10mm x 1.25 mounts and need an adapter or BMW-ready bolts (included with many KiWAV mirrors). Bar-end mirrors are separate: they fit M8, M10, or M12 threaded handlebar ends depend...
Quick answer: For BMW models like the F650GS, F700GS, F800GS, F800R, G650GS, and S1000R, the Lucifer (neat stem) mirrors are our pick for a direct OEM replacement — the thick CNC aluminum stem cuts mirror vibration even at high speed, reviewed in detail below.

Quick answer: Choose the Classic Original for the simplest, most compact version of the design; choose Classic MX for a longer stem and more adjustment; choose Classic Plus for the longest stem in the series plus an aspheric convex lens for a wider rear view.
From KiWAV's own sales experience, Classic Plus became a strong-selling compact mirror. Its small rectangular profile, longer adjustable stem, and aspheric lens still make it a distinctive choice for riders who want a compact mirror with wider rear-view coverage.
The three KiWAV Classic models share the same distinctive rectangular design, but they do not solve exactly the same problem. This comparison uses the original product images and real rider feedback to explain the differences before you choose a pair.
Updated for 2026: We reviewed current model availability, seat heights and weights, and added more options for shorter riders. The best motorcycles for short riders combine a seat height under 790 mm (31.1 in), a narrow seat that shortens the effective reach to the ground, and a wet weight under 200 kg. Cruisers like the Honda Rebel 500 (690 mm) ge...

At a glance: This article is based on an anonymized 12-message KiWAV customer-support case from 2016. After installing KiWAV FLASH OVAL chrome LED turn-signal mirrors on a 2002 Harley-Davidson Sportster, the rider found that the mirror lights illuminated but stayed on instead of flashing. An initial flasher-related parts attempt did not produce a working setup. The rider later installed a plug-and-play NAMZ LE-03-A load equalizer and confirmed on 15 June 2016 that the signals were working correctly. This was a steady-light, no-flash case—not hyperflash—and the result should not be treated as a universal fix for every Harley-Davidson electrical system.

The best motorcycle bar-end mirror for most riders is a heavy-weight model with a CNC-machined aluminum arm — the added mass at the bar's end damps vibration exactly where it starts, giving you a clearer image than any stock mirror position can. For naked bikes and cafe racers, a minimal round or teardrop design keeps the lines clean; for Ha...

I’ve wanted to change to a different style of mirror for sometime. I googled it online, most bar end mirrors seem very small, some are stylish but having the risk of not really being able to see well. I came across Triumph stock bar end mirror, it’s a big size round mirror , should be able to see the rear real good.
I asked my Triumph friend out for a test ride. It’s exactly what I was looking for, except for one thing: it’s not for my motorcycle and it’s very expensive too.
