Edit Reason: BMW is stupid
)
Has anyone had this happen to them before? A box, not even a heavy one, fell onto my poor bike in my garage and the mirror mount snapped off!
Anyone know where I can source a replacement? I'm also imagining to swap it is going to be quite to job as I'll need to access the underside of the fairing.
Edit: I'm really annoyed with BMW right now. I called my closest dealer and they confirm that BMW only sells the Mirror as a complete assembly. How frickin stupid is that! I'm not paying $100-200+ (OEM price) for an entire new mirror when my mirror is perfectly fine... This part should be like $30 MAX.
Does anyone know of any aftermarket mirrors? Ideally, one that uses the same base? I don't want to use 3rd party, but I think it's absurd to have to buy a whole new mirror I don't need. I've never had another bike that's like that.
