    Much obliged for the very thorough tutorial that you took the time put together for us all. I’m still contemplating whether I want to take on this ordeal but if I do decide to do the repairs, at least I won’t go into it not knowing what to do.

    how did you get the end of the telescope off that holds the actual mirror piece, so you could slide the triangle trim piece off? I cannot figure that part out.

    Would tapping into the tail light wire work for hooking up a set of auxiliary lights? Is that the same as tapping into an ACC wire?.

    You didn't need a relay for such a low draw. A simple power-side switch would do fine directly from the battery to the usb. Add an inline fuse to be safe.

    Very similar. I've got my 18 tow mirrors torn down. A few things were slightly different, but same ideas apply. Take extra caution/pics of the harness as you pull the triangle cover off.

    my RH mirror was caught and forced all the way forward. The fold motor works but the mirror doesn't stay at the driving position. It folds out all the way forward. Any ideas? Ive tried resetting / re-synch with no joy. Really miss that function but I cant justify $1400. Somewhere I saw someone say the incident broke some sort of pin.

    I would just follow the video and tear your mirror apart. Can't say what the issue is, but when you get it apart you will find out what has broken and may be able to fix it. Good luck. Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier.

I see below someone had to "electrically engage the slide motor to get the head off, did you have to do that? I have all plastic pieces off, top and bottom, and triangular trim piece loose but captive on the two arms, can't get the end off the slides.

    I have a Trail Ridge mirror that is not working correctly, so I watched this video all the way through to see if the procedures were similar. I can see why it took so long to repair. Kodos to this gentleman for taking the time to video this project. Looks like there are plenty of opportunities to break tabs during the process. If you start breaking tabs then rebuilding the mirrors may have been in vain. I know this gentleman was not a professional and there were times were he repeated himself and it made the video longer than it should have been, but again thank you for your time and the video.

    Depends on what kind of bikes? Full dress harley I don't know if two will sit side by side. I have put a couple of full size bikes side by side, then a smaller bike in front of those two. As far as the wt, I don't have any issues with my build, I have plenty of nose wt to compensate for the bikes. If you were to build one you would have to figure all that out for your situation and what kind of bikes you have.
