Title: Mirrors Post by: He Man on March 25, 2010, 02:21:47 PM Looking to get new mirrors and i dont want to pay top dollar for rizomas (though they look awesome!)
i was thinking of either of these 2 http://www.moto-science.com/product/ducati-streetfighter-polished-teardrops-pair (http://www.moto-science.com/product/ducati-streetfighter-polished-teardrops-pair) http://www.moto-science.com/product/ducati-monster-multistrada-hypermotard-mirrors-alu-180-pair (http://www.moto-science.com/product/ducati-monster-multistrada-hypermotard-mirrors-alu-180-pair) Anyone ever used them? And are my mirrors 8mm or 10mm? Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: corey on March 25, 2010, 04:00:10 PM should be 10mm, and the right side is right-hand thread. (backwards... ask me how i know)
you really need mirrors? just seems like something that... no offense... you will break. ;D Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 26, 2010, 02:54:35 AM the second set isn't so bad. I've seen a few sets like the first, too HD for me. IMO they kind of look cheap though.

Your talking about the diamond shaped one? THey do look kind of cheap but at the same time its the cheapest thing out there.im getting sick and tired of the round bar end CRG immitations. i cant see jack squat. Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 26, 2010, 05:45:52 AM yeah the bar end ones to me make your bars seem a mile long. I may go for the rizoma reverse retro knock offs, or if i win the lotto, some limited nakeds would be amazing

Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: moto-science on March 26, 2010, 08:09:00 AM 2006 Monster will be 10mm mounts....
Here's a recent Monster install that looks good to me.....

But I think the mirror part is a little too tall. Do you have anything slimmer, similar to the Rizoma Circuit 743. I like the look A LOT.

They come with mounts, nothing else to buy. Convex mirrors. Made in Italy...

For $60 you can get two pairs of the ebay fake crg`s. I have them ( only one left now and they work great.) You`ll have two spares for when your bike gets nocked over and it brakes. You can keep an extra in your pack and you`ll still save $90 over the ones your looking at.
Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: moto-science on March 26, 2010, 10:42:46 AM You have to take your eyes off the road to use them....
2.5-3 inc CRG type bar ends make you street legal, but they don't work very well if rear view functionality and visual ergonomics are important. The Classic Ducati bar ends work because the put the mirror forward of the bars.

BLue glass? Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: He Man on March 26, 2010, 02:34:21 PM 60 buck for CRG knock offs? where do u buy yours mookie? They are only $15 from the ebay guy i get it from and ive been through 4 of them already (2 pairs that is) i dont like them because they make lane changing a pregnant dog. the napelon bar ends are by far the best in terms of visability, but they are HUGE.
got any more pics of the teardrop shapped ones? Im liking those cause they dont seem to be to big for lane splitting. Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: mookieo2 on March 26, 2010, 02:36:59 PM I said $60 for two pairs.
Title: Re: Mirrors Post by: He Man on March 26, 2010, 03:04:22 PM I said $60 for two pairs. oh thats still a bit more than i paid. i got these (in black not carbon) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Virago-750-1100-VMax-V-Max-1200-BAR-END-MIRRORS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5886d294c4QQitemZ380219069636QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Virago-750-1100-VMax-V-Max-1200-BAR-END-MIRRORS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5886d294c4QQitemZ380219069636QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) they suck. legal yea, but i cant see shit half the time. |
