2013 Monster 796- stalling while driving

Thanks. I'd forgotten that they had the old "lollipops". Was looking at a local rider's EVO last weekend, but he'd already changed them. He told me that they came with no bikini fairing either, which I find actually works pretty well at speed. The chrome headlight ring also bothers him and he mentioned that he might plasti-dip it. If he swaps that out though, I might try it on my "Pantah" as it's silver-blue already!  http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/383062-1/M+796_10S_LM-Pantah_C01S+_1200x800_.jpg

Maybe my perches will work them. The parts manager at my dealer is really on-the-ball, so I might give him a ring and see whether the Diavel mirrors fit my perches and whether they'd actually improve the view! The stock mirrors are ~ 50/50 "elbow" but are actually super-quiet vs the lollipops on my Triumph T-100. (Those have a good view at 70 MPH the wind noise is like a hurricane compared to the stock 796...) http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/353092-1/Workshop-T-100.jpg

Anything you DON'T know, Carlos? 

did it myself . . installed SF mirrors so I had to purchase the bracket for newer Monsters . . .

and to tell you something, I wished I knew 1% of what some of the guys here know . . . I go a lot by the manual . ..

Are the SF mirrors the same as my 796 items or are they any longer? They look very similar but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

The Diavel mirrors are awesome. For the first time, I can see cars behind me, and no vibrations at normal speeds.

Both the OEM plastic mirrors and the mickey mouse mirrors terrible. The Diavel mirrors have a metal shaft, and I think they extend farther. This significantly reduces the vibrations.

If you have not made this upgrade, you are missing out!

And, I have now driven about 150 miles with no stalling issues. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Sounds great, hope it's taken care of!

basically teh same length, main diff is the mounting where the screw goes . ..  in Monsters is a little thicker than on SF . . .I'll try to get a pick tomorrow at the shop of teh two mirrors, OK?

edit:
ssrealty, ride it like you stole it and then report
