I just took delivery of a 2008 K1200GT, a bike that begs for every sort of farkle in the book. Blessedly, BMW mounts the mirrors on the fairing leaving open the mirror post holes for alternative uses. One logical choice is a Techmount. I’ve bought probably half a dozen of these over the years and as much as I want to love them, I just don’t.
A better solution in my book is a very nicely machined post made in small quantities by Perfect Switch. Add a 1/4 threaded Ram ball and you’re ready for whatever you care to mount.
For me, it’s the ideal solution to placing my Valentine 1 right in my line of sight. I give this doodad a 10.

Truthfully it’s not a whole lot better than that. As you probably know, these things come in a variety of grades. Given what these things cost, I went with the heaviest duty, tightest fitting. Reminded me of the Tupperware I remember my mom buying as a kid. Probably cost me $3.00. Best news, if you screw up, you can buy another one.
