I note that MotoStorm show 24 different types of adapter for the mirrors - which type is needed to fit the Rizoma Radial RS to the Atom?

I didn’t need any adapter although I did have to use a shorter bolt than what was in the old mirrors.

They look great and thank you for the link to Motocard. :tu: I ordered two separately using their discount voucher and got both delivered this week for under £180! I had been looking at them all year but couldn't justify £240.

Mapes - As Charlie says, you don't need an adaptor. For Atom 3/3.5 owners, the original mirrors use a stainless hex headed M8 bolt, and the Rizomas need a 25mm long stainless hex headed M6 bolt instead. Because the original hole in the chassis and dash cover is 8mm, I have just ordered a stainless 10mm long M6 collar with an 8mm external diameter to better centre the 6mm boltx in the 8mm holes see here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281645201141

They must have offered a better discount code on Black Friday I paid slightly more either that or you are in Europe and didn’t have the vat with the atom 4 it was the same diameter and thread of bolt just slightly shorter luckily I have an assorted box of stainless bolts that had just the right size.

I actually ordered before Black Friday but have the Honey app on my browser and it found the best voucher which got the price down to £89.06 each including VAT and delivery to Cornwall, and I made two separate orders to bypass the import duty.

The original Pitking mirrors on the earlier Atoms are tiny - I reckon the Rizomas have twice the surface area and look much better, so I am very happy :tu: .

Just seen a short video from BOTB on you and your Atom Charlie - the mirrors are looking good!
