Description LOBOO Foldable Motorcycle Rearview Mirrors for BMW R1300GS / R1300GS ADV

Attention, read before ordering: the LOBOO RM02-1300 fits only motorcycles already equipped as standard with the LCW system, the lane-change warning system. The mirror wiring must be connected to that system's original connector, and the warning indicator is integrated into the lens. On a motorcycle without LCW, there is nothing to connect it to.

What it is, in brief

Pair of folding rearview mirrors made of aluminum alloy, right and left, replacing the original mirrors while retaining the lane-change warning function. Lens measuring 166.1 × 103 mm, the largest in the range along with the RM02, and approximately 539 g per mirror: it is the heaviest, precisely because of the wiring.

Complete package

The package includes the pair of mirrors with wiring, two M10×20 screws to be tightened to 20 N·m, two washers, an 8 mm Allen key, two silicone covers, and five cable ties for securing the cable. The adapter kit is not needed; it is required instead for the RM02 and RM03.

Installation

The manufacturer asks you not to fully tighten the screws immediately: make all adjustments first, then tighten them definitively in sequence. Route the cable using the supplied cable ties and check that it does not become taut when the mirror rotates or folds. Periodically recheck the mounting screws.

Construction and dimensions

Aluminum alloy, black. Arm length: 167.2 mm; total height: 234.1 mm; depth: 68.7 mm; mounting stem: 27 mm.

Note about the lens: it is spherical, so objects appear smaller and seem farther away than they actually are. Do not adjust the mirror while riding.

Why choose it
  • Requirement to be verified:applicable only to motorcycles equipped with the Lane Change Assist system.
  • Folding stem:less bulk in narrow passages, and in a lateral fall the mirror yields instead of breaking.
  • Complete kit:pair of mirrors dedicated to the R 1300 GS and GS Adventure.
Who is it recommended for

The first check to make, before any other evaluation:

This kit is exclusively applicable to motorcycles equipped with the Lane Change Assist system, indicated by BMW as LCW.

How to check:If your motorcycle's original mirrors integrate the indicator light that signals vehicles in the blind spot, the system is present. Alternatively, check the equipment on the registration document or purchase configuration.

If your motorcycle does not have LCW, this kit cannot be used: contact us and we will suggest an alternative among LOBOO foldable mirrors.

Documents and manufacturer

Assembly and notes

  • Mandatory requirement: Lane Change Assist system present on the motorcycle.
  • Rear-view mirrors are a safety device: after assembly, check the field of vision and tightness.
  • Check the correct functioning of the blind spot warning after installation.
  • Use on public roads is subject to the Highway Code regulations regarding rear-view mirrors.

How does it work, in detail?

The LCW system is required as standard.

The LCW system is required as standard.

This is the first check to make before looking at anything else. This code can ONLY be installed on motorcycles already equipped as standard with the LCW system, the lane-change warning.

The mirror wiring must be connected to that system’s original connector. If your motorcycle does not have LCW, there is nothing to connect it to: you need a different model.

The indicator is in the lens

The indicator is in the lens

The lane-change warning stays where the eye expects it: integrated into the lens, just like on the original mirrors. Replace the mirror without giving up the function.

Spherical lens: more field of view, but watch the distances

Spherical lens: more field of view, but watch the distances

166 × 103 mm of reflective surface, the largest in the range along with the RM02, with curvature that widens the field of view and reduces the blind spot.

The manufacturer itself points out the downside: objects appear smaller, and therefore farther away than they really are.

Anti-reflective coating

Anti-reflective coating

The lens features an anti-reflective coating designed to reduce glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you at night and from low-angle light at dawn and dusk.

CNC aluminum, and the hardware is included

CNC aluminum, and the hardware is included

CNC-machined aluminum alloy body, approximately 539 g per mirror: it is the heaviest in the range, and the difference lies in the wiring.

The package includes 2 M10×20 screws to be tightened to 20 N·m, 2 washers, an 8 mm Allen key, 2 silicone covers, and 5 cable ties. No adapter kit is required.

They fold in one motion

They fold in one motion

The joint allows you to fold the mirror along the handlebar: it is useful in narrow passages, in the garage, on the van, and in the event of a fall, it is the part that gives way instead of breaking.

Make sure the cable does not become taut when the mirror rotates or folds: the package includes five cable ties for routing it properly.

Spherical joint, free angle

Spherical joint, free angle

The ball mount lets you orient the lens in any direction, without the fixed positions of a ratcheting joint: adjust it to your body and your riding position.

How is it assembled?

How is it assembled?

The manufacturer asks you not to fully tighten immediately: make all adjustments first, then perform the final tightening in sequence to 20 N·m.

Route the cable using the supplied cable ties, connect the LCW system connector, and periodically recheck the mounting screws.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

How can I tell if my motorcycle has the LCW system?

This is the decisive check: this code fits ONLY motorcycles already equipped as standard with lane-change warning. The clearest sign is the illuminated triangular indicator in the lens of the original mirror and the dedicated connector behind the mount. If you’re unsure, send us the motorcycle’s model, year, and trim, and we’ll verify it together before you order.

Can I install them if the motorcycle doesn't have LCW?

No. The wiring must be connected to the original connector of the lane departure warning system: without that system, there is nothing to connect it to, and the indicator light integrated into the lens would remain inactive. In that case, we can direct you to another model in the range.

Does installation require work on the electrical system?

No, nothing needs to be cut or spliced: the mirror cable plugs into the LCW system’s original connector, the one that the factory mirror was connected to. The only precaution is to route the cable using the five included cable ties and check that it does not become taut when the mirror rotates or folds.

Is the adapter kit needed?

No: this is one of the two models that arrive already complete. The package includes 2 M10×20 screws to be tightened to 20 N·m, 2 M10 washers, an 8 mm Allen key, 2 silicone covers, and 5 cable ties for routing the cable.

Do they really fold up, and what happens if I fall?

Yes: the joint allows you to fold the mirror along the handlebar and return it to its original position. Be careful with the cable, which must not become taut when the mirror rotates or folds; that is why the kit includes five cable ties.

Do they vibrate at high speeds?

The body is made of CNC-machined aluminum alloy, and the ball joint should be fully tightened only after making all adjustments, as specified by the manufacturer, with the screws tightened to 20 N·m. Check the tightness again after the first few kilometers: if the mirror starts to move, it is almost always because the joint has loosened.

Why do cars look farther away in the mirror?

Because the lens is spherical, as the manufacturer explicitly states: the curvature widens the field of view and reduces the blind spot, but makes objects appear smaller and therefore farther away than they really are. This is the trade-off with all convex mirrors: for the first few kilometers, it is worth getting used to it and allowing a little extra margin when judging distances.

How much do they weigh?

Approximately 539 g per mirror: it is the heaviest in the range, and the difference compared with the others lies in the wiring. Mirror 166.1 × 103 mm, arm 167.2 mm, total height 234.1 mm, depth 68.7 mm, 27 mm mounting stem.

Are they approved for road use?

LOBOO does not publish a homologation number for these mirrors, and we do not claim what the manufacturer does not claim. Rearview mirrors are a safety device subject to the regulations of the Highway Code: if the motorcycle is intended for road use, check the requirements before installation. After installation, always check the field of vision and tightening.

Is the product covered by a warranty?

Yes, dual coverage. You have the 24-month legal conformity warranty required by law, which applies to us; in addition, LOBOO provides 12 months from the date of sale for quality defects, and after that period, it will intervene by charging only for the materials. We handle the case with the manufacturer. Damage caused by falls, incorrect installation, or product modifications is not covered.
