Just spoke with Rich at Twisted Throttle. I'm not sure we have everything sorted out yet. He quoted me a price of $62.00, but had the wrong model bike.
I just spoke with him, and he said the price is $62.00 per side. That seems a bit pricey for a stick on mirror, but maybe not.
I'm not buying these and reselling them, or placing the order. I can't even swing a set for the K at this point. Unless Twisted Throttle wants to give us a discount for a group buy, it's every man for himself. I'll check on a group buy - as soon as you guys get back to me after you see the price...
John - there is a different part number for the K100 - look at the link you posted.

Yowzers, that's twice the price I gave for a new mirror glass from BMW. Think I will stick with the factory mirrors.

Jim,
@ $60/mirror I'm out. Can't justify it.
Friends,
I have a poor man's $4 solution that I've been using on my LT for the last 5 years. I do a lot of commute riding and lane-splitting in San Francisco Bay Area traffic and these extra mirrors have helped more than once....

Dude $60+ per mirror is more then I expected. I want a pair but not at that price.

Jim,
Looks like unless Twisted Throttle wants to give us a killer group buy price, we are at a dead end. 
Thanks so far for the "leg work". We will all stay tuned for any developments.
John

Good morning guys....
Well... I agree that is a bit ( in fact more than a bit ) pricey for "stick ons".. Even the Euro price is higher than is reasonable... So unless they get down to the $20 range, I'll be holding off as well. Jim done a great communications job here, and I thank him for it !...
Best regards all............// Ernie in NH
