Hello to one and all. I'm looking for some input from all of you with regards to mirrors. That time of year has come again when the bike is off the road :mad: which means it gets bits done that I wouldn't do in the summer :) .
The S4R is already booked in with Tony at Ducati Wolves for a serious change in exhaust tone :lol: over Christmas and with the exception of adding bits of carbon :cool: and a life saver.... sorry steering damper :eek: I want to change the mirrors. Anyway I digress...... I'm looking for some ideas or recommendations from those that have or do preferably billet...I think...... :confused:

Nooooooo, not the cliche teardrop. Ugly blobs more like, save yourself a few bob and hold a flame under your mickey mouse ones and they'll soon take on a similar shape.

Ooops I knew there would be something I'd forget. I would prefer looks over functionality. Got used to seeing elbows riding sports bikes :rolleyes: and to be honest the vibes through the monster make the mirrors just about useless anyway..So I'd rather have COOL :cool:
Natty I'm not sure whether I like the DP teardrops to be frank.... prefer some nice machined ally... I think :confused: Oh and I'm not brave enough to have the cat removed at the moment. I heard Boon's at Ducati Wolves earlier this year.... made my mates 748 sound like a pussycat and that thing runs a full race system.

well its all about personal preference realy

the billet dp ones look ok but are **** poor to see anything in

best ever is no mirrors, proper racey look.

Best to ask...what does the law in this country say about no mirros? :confused:
