Ducati Monster Forum

Was at Hoss's house this arvo (aka Bwian)
Just advising Paul and Hoss ,on the final fittment and quality control on various items. :)

Comments were Made (not buy me) on a rather expensive pair of Rizzoma Class retro mirrors.
 That the bike looks like a Long Horn Steer with the Retro mirrors. ???

Underslung would look better IMHO.
(feel free to ignore this)

This was considered and tried, not perfect either :-\
Hang to low, you have to Drop your eyes too far to look,not ideal,could be a saftey issue ,compared to say stock mirrors are generally made so you only have look left or right with out dropping your eyes,or take you sight away from were your headed,if you get my drift :P

Not only that Long horns have tried it as well [laugh]

Under slung might look better but who am I to say anything

The finest mirrors I've ever used.

Prefer em not underslung but rolled a little further forward for a lower profile.

Here, we finally have a human being of substance, practically plus intelligence..........     [thumbsup]

Gotta be a croweater Ungy     ?   S.A. got migrants of substance, a lot of quality German stock, NSW ended up with the dregs, riff raff to put it mildly , most were hidden up on our nthn beaches.....  enough said there.......... [roll] 

Mirrors are growing on me, though a certain few lower class people are trying their darndest to shit stir/berate me re them. As for practicality and vision nothing compares. I can always buy a $40 pair of Chinese knockoffs of Rizoma's reverse reteros as the oval shaped mirror lens should fit perfectly. Word has it that "the cook" spotted the photo when Wobbart was on the puter and loved them   ;)

Ungy, you are right i'm sure, re getting them lower, as close down to the bar as possible, out to the cave i go now mate  

Brian    [coffee]

In Soviet Russia mirror for function not fashion

This guy wants his mirrors back Teff  [laugh]

... all of which will come as no surprise when I point out that....

;D

+1.  I've seen bugger all behind me since I sold mine to another discerning (ex-Victorian) OzMo. 

Can I 'ave 'em back now H?  (In W.A. you don't need good mirrors to tell you there's absolutely bugger all behind you but sand).

  I rotated/dropped the bars a tad Ungy, then brought the mirrors down as far as i could, much better now. Also, the photos taken exaggerate them but that was their aim I gather.    [roll]

... that's just about the best one I've seen.

Looks like Teff almost would have done that himself.
Well done lads!

Thanks Wells'y

We always try our best  :D

Anything that reduces one's ability to lane split [evil] (in the CBD trial streets only) is a step in the wrong direction [thumbsdown], seeing behind oneself is soooo overrated [Dolph]. [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Agree with Mishka.  It's about where you are going, not where you been.

I much prefer to know who is behind me as well as in front.
Like the plod for instance, trying to sneak up on you.......
Or the time when a mate of mine was caught up in heavy traffic, then had to stop at lights. Saw in his mirror a car hurtling towards him so he quickly moved over, to watch that car run up the back of the car he was originally behind. I rest my case your honour.   [coffee]

Don't worry Brian, I'll stick up for you.

Rob, Dez, you children should be ashamed, picking on poor defenceless Brian like this. Just because his bike has the widest bars in Sydney and he used to ride a Harley, is no reason to be so cruel.

And you, Wells, you I expected more of. Honestly!

I want you all to apologise for behaving so meanly.

Stay still my beating heart     :-*

Lucky that I know you Suzy, otherwise i'd tend to think that your post had a different meaning     [evil]

I don't blame you for a minute in berating both Wobbart and Desmond Two Shoes.............. If it wasn't Precious cleaning you up two years ago, then Des walking away with it a year later would have been a bitter pill to swallow.   [roll]    I wouldn't put it past Rob taking out the 4 valve this year either.


They are only trophies, nothing special, so don't let it eat away at you, someone had to lose.    [roll]  
 

Its ok Brian we do love you ;D.

Did find a photo of Rob Fishing i think.

Received these photos today from Wobbart, he is as proud as punch about his new tiny, miniscule Rizzy mirrors and wants to show the world, so here is their first public viewing. You decide   ...............     [roll]    [roll]    [roll]

China did a great job on mine, can't see behind but the optics are fantastic - Teff.

Thats great to hear Mark  !   

Dam nice oriental mirrors at that    [thumbsup]
