Whilst assembling a refurbished (e-bay) RS mirror pod this morning, I figured that it was designed for a gasket between the indicator lens and the body. Neither of my bikes have these gaskets, but, out of interest, I made one from 3mm expanded neoprene cord (it's much softer than O ring cord) and it fits and works perfectly.
So, my question is; were any bikes fitted with such a sealing strip or was it a design idea that was scrapped before production?
It does hold the lens securely and should reduce any vibration wear between the plastic components.
