4. Setup and Installation

The Rizoma Spy R 80 Mirror is designed for handlebar mounting using the included Proguard LP200B Adapter. This adapter is compatible with most handlebars that have an inside diameter of 13-21mm.

Installation Steps:

  1. Prepare Handlebar: If your handlebar has existing bar-end weights or mirrors, remove them. Ensure the end of the handlebar is clean and free of debris.
  2. Insert Adapter: Insert the Proguard LP200B Adapter into the end of your handlebar. The adapter is designed to expand and secure itself within the handlebar's inner diameter.
  3. Attach Mirror: Align the Rizoma Spy R 80 Mirror's mounting arm with the adapter. Secure the mirror to the adapter using the provided hardware. Do not fully tighten yet.
  4. Position Mirror: Sit on your motorcycle and adjust the mirror's angle and position to achieve optimal rear visibility. Ensure the mirror does not interfere with controls or your hands during operation.
  5. Final Tightening: Once the desired position is achieved, carefully tighten all mounting bolts. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the components. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque specifications if available, or tighten until snug and secure.
  6. Check Fitment: After installation, gently attempt to move the mirror to ensure it is firmly secured and does not wobble.
