Post by: sbricon on July 18, 2011, 12:15:58 PM
Hello...looking for suggestions !!!!

I'm looking at replacing my stock mirrors and have seveal options to choose from.
1) Rizoma - Radial Naked
2) Barracuda - Rversion
3) Ducati Performance -Viper.

Any and all suggestions would  be appreciated, specfically with respect to visibility and vibration on the three mentioned above.

Thanks

That's what I was thinking. I can only take watching my forearms for so long...

I also considering which mirror I am going to install. My first choice beofre is Rizoma, but I went to the dealer shop yesterday and tried it on, too small and it's blue mirror, bad version. So I think i am going to purchase the DP viper mirror.

Thanks for the input...after much reserarch I too went with the DP Viper mirrors. They look cool and were the right price.

On a different note...I'm having the 12 k service completed next week and wondering how much it might cost  to service the 696 at point.

thanks

Can you post a picture of the viper mirrors on your bike.  I'm considering them for mine.

Thx.

I asked the same question on another forum in Canada...was told to budget between $600-700

Interested to hear how much your service actually costs (and location also).

I really like my napolean bar ends.
Very low vibration and super adjustable.
