2. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure your motorcycle's mirror mounts are compatible with an M10 x 1.25 right-hand thread. Always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions regarding mirror replacement.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Mounting Area: If replacing existing mirrors, carefully unscrew and remove the old mirrors. Clean the mounting threads on your motorcycle's handlebar or fairing.
- Thread the Mirror: Take one Lampa Classic Rearview Mirror. Carefully align the M10 x 1.25 right-hand thread of the mirror stem with the corresponding mounting hole on your motorcycle.
- Hand-Tighten: Begin to hand-tighten the mirror into the mounting hole. Ensure it threads smoothly without resistance. Do not force it, as this could damage the threads.
- Secure with Wrench: Once hand-tightened, use an appropriate wrench to gently tighten the mirror stem. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or crack the mirror housing. Tighten until snug and secure, preventing vibration during operation.
- Repeat for Second Mirror: Follow the same steps for the second mirror on the opposite side.

3. Operating the Mirrors
The Lampa Classic Rearview Mirrors feature manual adjustment for optimal viewing angles.
Adjusting the Mirror Angle:
- While seated on your motorcycle in your normal riding position, grasp the edge of the mirror head.
- Gently pivot the mirror head until you achieve a clear view of the area behind and to the side of your motorcycle.
- Ensure that the mirror is stable and does not move freely after adjustment. The adjustable articulation is designed to hold its position once set.
- Periodically check mirror alignment during rides, especially after encountering rough terrain or significant vibrations.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Lampa Classic Rearview Mirrors.
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, clean cloth and a mild glass cleaner to clean the mirror surface.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the mirror coating or the plastic/metal housing.
- Wipe down the mirror stem and housing with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
Inspection:
- Periodically check the tightness of the mirror's mounting bolt. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners.
- Inspect the mirror glass for cracks or damage. Replace the mirror if the glass is compromised to ensure clear visibility.
- Check the articulation point for any looseness that prevents the mirror from holding its position. If it becomes too loose, it may need adjustment or replacement.
