ThirdEYE Blind-Spot Radar System - BMW R1300GS Mirror Version

Innovv radar system compatible with BMW R1300GS mirrors.

The BMW R1300GS has a radar system with warning indicators integrated into the mirrors.
This Innovv kit plugs directly into R1300GS mirrors to use those in-built warning indicators instead of having to install separate LEDs.

The R1300GS mirrors have a very common fitting size and so can be installed on many other BMW motorcycles to provide a radar system like it was factory-fitted!

Note that the mirrors are NOT INCLUDED in the kit: they must be BMW original parts: - left mirror part no. 51167922105
- right mirror part no. 51167922106

"Third Eye" Radar Systems

The INNOVV Third-Eye radar safety-system for motorcycles detects the presence of vehicles in the blind spots of either side of motorcycle, directly behind and in adjacent lanes, offering both a visual indication and an audible warning.

The warning indications are from either a dash-mounted display ("watch" version) or discreet leds placed on the side mirrors ("mirror" version”).

Such radar systems are common on modern cars, but unfortunately not on motorcycles, where their safety value is far more valuable.
