AfricaTwin XRV750 right mirror holder

thingiverse

After a fall on my motorcycle in Africa, I cracked the right mirror holder. The new part costs approximately $250 USD. To avoid another problem next time, I tried fixing this with a 3D printed part. You will need to drill and create a thread on the original holder at the position of the hole in the 3D printed part. Don't worry; it is designed so that you won't damage the brake fluid bottle. Next, hold the holder in place with a screw to the original one. Before doing this, you'll need to rasp the 3D printed part slightly to ensure a perfect fit with the cracked part. One plastic strap will help hold this part securely and reduce vibrations. The blue rope is only for extra security; if the part cracks again, I won't lose my mirror during a ride. In comparison to the original holder, there's only a slight vibration at low engine speeds. Maybe printing it in 100% infill and holding it with two screws will solve this problem. However, it's not as bad as the mirror vibrations on one-cylinder motorcycles. My 3D printed part was made from ABS plastic with 70% infill. Remember to create a thread in the plastic for the mirror; otherwise, you won't be able to screw the mirror into place.
