Title: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: orangelion03 on October 30, 2009, 07:15:10 AM Will the mirrors from a 696 (or 1100 for that matter) fit on the S2R mounts? Do they have the same thread with one lefty?
Thanks! Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: JEFF_H on October 30, 2009, 07:24:53 AM wont fit.
different thread sizes Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: orangelion03 on October 30, 2009, 09:00:41 AM wont fit. different thread sizes Bastardi... Grazi for the cattive notizie. Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: orangelion03 on October 30, 2009, 09:01:47 AM What is the thread size? I could always make adapters.
Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: stopintime on October 30, 2009, 09:04:00 AM You can also buy adapters. I've seen them, but can't remember where.
Why do you consider those mirrors? Width? Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: turbowagon on October 30, 2009, 09:37:58 AM I think the S2R is 10mm.
Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: loneknight66 on October 30, 2009, 10:47:06 AM Correct it's 10mm, so they wouldn't fit without adapters.
In your opinion which "approved for road circulation" mirrors fit better on the S2R? What do you think about these Barracuda's that will be available in December?

Post by: stopintime on October 30, 2009, 11:14:54 AM Those Barracudas look nice, but I think they fit a Jap bike or maybe a KTM.
Monsters need curves, like som Rizoma mirrors. Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: loneknight66 on October 30, 2009, 11:59:01 AM Maybe you are right, if you take a look at the catalogue in pdf you are able to see how they look on a few bikes.

I bought my bike used with CRG bar ends. Never likes bar end mirrors as they are too far from my sight line. Bought a set of stock S2R mirrors and am reasonably happy with them viz wise, but they look a tad too much like Mickey's ears. The 696/Streetfighter mirrors are very stylish IMO.

Mickey's ears is the right definition for the "old" Monster mirrors:) But those of 696 are a bit "Bugs Bunny's" ;) I wonder if Buell has anything in their aftermarket catalogue that could be adapted. I might suggest another Italian Company that manifactures mirrors (cheap too) http://www.far.it/indexeng.html (http://www.far.it/indexeng.html) Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R?

Thanks for the FAR tip. Found these from a source in the US: http://www.moto-science.com/product/73805/Ducati-Folding-Mirrors-225-325mm-Adj-Stems--Pair_330266.html (http://www.moto-science.com/product/73805/Ducati-Folding-Mirrors-225-325mm-Adj-Stems--Pair_330266.html) Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: loneknight66 on November 02, 2009, 09:17:21 AM Yeah, Bugs Bunny Rocks!
Those Far's are not too bad....are they a bit expensive? Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: orangelion03 on November 02, 2009, 10:53:10 AM ...are they a bit expensive? $100 for a pair doesnt seem TOO bad when compared to Rizomas which sell for over $100 each. Best price I have seen for a new OEM 696 mirror is $90 each. Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R?

Best price I have seen for a new OEM 696 mirror is $90 each. Yeah, you are right...they are being sold (new) on Ebay for about 50 euro (+ Delivery Charges) that is 75USD (+ Delivery Charges) not far from 100 bucks...I thought they were cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.it/Specchi-retrovisori-Far-carbon-effect-6761-naked_W0QQitemZ330361422332QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090920?IMSfp=TL090920158001r8275#ht_2042wt_888 (http://cgi.ebay.it/Specchi-retrovisori-Far-carbon-effect-6761-naked_W0QQitemZ330361422332QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090920?IMSfp=TL090920158001r8275#ht_2042wt_888) Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R? Post by: orangelion03 on November 03, 2009, 02:12:22 PM These are interesting. Wonder if thay are any good. Didnt have any luck searching for reviews or comments.
Edit: Heck, for $35 shipped, it was worth ordering them to see if they are any good. I'll post a review afters. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KOSO-BLADE-Diamond-Motorcycle-Rear-Side-Mirrors-Black_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem414a35cfccQQitemZ280417914828QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KOSO-BLADE-Diamond-Motorcycle-Rear-Side-Mirrors-Black_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem414a35cfccQQitemZ280417914828QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) Title: Re: 696 peeps on a S2R?

The only downsides: 1) they could be bulkier than they seem from the pic 3) they are nor most probably approved for road circulation on the European roads.. |
