Title: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: Clickjack on September 22, 2008, 03:51:08 PM I'm torn between the Rizoma "Class" Mirrors and the "Circuit 743" mirrors. The Class is a little more my style, but the Circuit might look a little better on the bike.
if you guys are up to it, if you have either of these mirrors, or anything else you think I should see... Post some pics so I can get an idea. Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: NYCmonster on November 01, 2008, 12:58:27 PM Are Rizoma mirrors convex?
Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: BK_856er on November 01, 2008, 01:26:55 PM Are Rizoma mirrors convex? I believe that some of them are convex, but not all. I used to have a Rizoma pdf catalog that listed the "special" features of each type. My Class mirrors can be seen to the left. Very nice product in every respect. BK Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: Ranger06 on November 01, 2008, 02:42:04 PM I started with Reverse Retro Bar-end mirrors until I switched to clip-on handlebars. Then I fell in love with the Naked Prototypes. The Circuit 743's were an option, but I like the backs of the Prototypes better. The mirror is almost the same profile, and it is a flat mirror with this "high contrast" blue tinted glass. Either way, you can't go wrong with Rizoma's products.

Here are some pics of my Classics. They also have that slight blue tint.

Be sure that whichever mirror you end up going with, you get the adapter. As far as I know, they don't come with the mirrors. You can get them in black too (http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/joev160/MirrorAdapterforHandleBarsBS71112.jpg) Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: ducturd on April 03, 2009, 12:28:40 PM BK, I like those. Are they the silver or black color option?

Are they the silver or black color option? I think they're considered silvers. Santa brought them, so the ordering details are murky. 2+ years later I still dig them!

(wrong bar ends) but the prototypes are looking REAL nice. would look good on the 696. Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: Maratom on April 04, 2009, 02:54:37 AM My very first mod : Rizoma Dynamic mirrors

Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: ducturd on April 05, 2009, 02:41:25 PM I think they're considered silvers. Santa brought them, so the ordering details are murky. Just ordered a pair of black ones for my 696. I have a Rizoma "Logic" mirror, but the visibility is poor with it.2+ years later I still dig them!

What are they like $300? Im thinking maybe clip ons eventualyl for my 696. i think these would look sick with a set up like that, [beer]

I just added a set of Oberon bar-end turn signals to clean up the front end a little more

Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: DucatiTorrey on April 22, 2009, 06:15:17 AM i want to, but not yet they are $$

Naked. I believe the sport version's arm is shorter.

When I tour on the monster I put the stockers back on. The upside is that they look fantastic!!!!!!
Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: redial on April 27, 2009, 05:29:46 AM Nice Prototypes! Here are some pics of my Classics. They also have that slight blue tint. BK (http://i35.tinypic.com/dqt7hx.jpg) cant believe i missed this the first time, but nice 6'er [thumbsup] my dad used to have one of the new 6 and i loooved to thrash that thing do the prototypes block any of the road? the one thing i love about my lanesplitters (actually they look more like ebay lanesplitter knockoffs) is that they do not block even an inch of road in front of me. Ive seen people mount the reverse retro upsidown to get this effect and it looks tits, but im not sure if it would be viable with clipons Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: BK_856er on April 27, 2009, 07:20:15 PM cant believe i missed this the first time, but nice 6'er [thumbsup] my dad used to have one of the new 6 and i loooved to thrash that thing Good catch! Before I got the monster sickness I had the E24 sickness....lasted about 15 years and it's just now tapering off....hence the vestigial 856er handle. Great for thrashing and great community of wrenching enthusiasts. [beer] BK Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: ungeheuer on May 03, 2009, 03:13:38 AM Here's my Class Retro's....

When I have some more extra funds to spend, that will be my next purchase, because I don't like the 696 stock mirrors at all.
Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: ungeheuer on May 03, 2009, 04:48:28 PM ...and it's not just that they look nice - although that was the original attraction - they function as mirrors much better than the originals. Completely clear and vibe-free rear view now..... So I dont feel so bad about coughing up the cash to get 'em now...
Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: moto-science on May 03, 2009, 07:52:07 PM What do you think of these : $55 ea complete with mount.
It's not Rizoma, but a Ducati OEM FAR s.p.a. mirror. FAR makes all the Ducati Performance mirrors.

about the rizomas, I too think the naked prototypes would look amazing on a 696. Does anyone have them installed and can post pics, pretty please? And also, are rizoma mirrors convex? I used to have flat mirrors installed on my Hawk, but it kind of made the mirrors pointless- couldnt see enough and the vibration made it worse. Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: moto-science on May 04, 2009, 01:48:18 PM If it's Italian Rizoma or FAR...it's convex mirrors.
Only Chinese Emgo mirrors are non convex... Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: zLoki on May 04, 2009, 04:01:49 PM If it's Italian Rizoma or FAR...it's convex mirrors. Only Chinese Emgo mirrors are non convex... Might want to check that, my Rizoma's look pretty flat to me Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: moto-science on May 04, 2009, 06:30:07 PM Ok....learn something everyday. Stand corrected.
Most Rizoma mirrors in the catalogue are convex glass....not sure what the logic is for using plain mirrors on the Senso, Circuit 743, Circuit 851, and the Tomok Make my mirrors convex or no sale... Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: ungeheuer on May 05, 2009, 02:17:38 AM Might want to check that, my Rizoma's look pretty flat to me Yup. I was originally attracted to Rizoma's Reverse Retro mirrors but since they have flat glass I opted instead for Class Retros which are nicely convex. Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: moto-science on January 22, 2010, 04:47:12 PM When a Rizoma mirror is plain mirror : It means it's for show , not road legal in Europe.
Title: Re: Rizoma Mirrors Post by: misterburns on January 22, 2010, 05:11:26 PM I think all those prototype mirrors look horrible....
.... since you all seem like a nice group of guys, I'd be happy to do one of you a favor and take them off your hands :) I posted a pointless thread in the WTB section looking for a set a couple weeks back. I'm sure you're all surprised there have been exactly zero responses. |
