Mirror Review...........

29-12-2004, 12:16 AM

Today I recieved my mirrors from Monstrack . I think they are spot-on workmanship. Quality throughout. No matter where you look or feel, it's quality all the way.

Sorry about the red eye.

I also talked to Stuart at Spareshack and he has some very attractive mirrors made by the same peeps that make the DP mirrors I like so much (DPM).

Having reviewed several mirrors from different manufactures my criteria first is quality. Second is functionality and style. Third is price and availability.

In my humble opinion the mirrors reviewed placed as follows:

1. Monstrack Mirrors

placed No. 1 for Quality, functionality and style, as well as price and availability. What I liked about the Monstrack is the availability of different length
stems.

2. Spareshack Mirrors

placed No. 2 not because of quality but because of style and price.

3. Rizoma Mirrors

placed No. 3 because of Style and price. Too industrial I think.
Looks good on a real street fighter like a Dark i.e.

4. DP Mirrors

placed No. 4 because of price and availibility. DP always sucks on delivery.

I work as a mechanical engineer for my bread so I feel as though I am overly critical with evaluations such as this.

They would cost you 77.63 Pounds for the pair. Not sure about the shiipping cost. You can shoot Kevin an E-Mail and inquire. He's a great guy to deal with as is Stuart at Spareshack.

It was a camera effect. I even tilted the mirrors away from the camera to avoid it.

Got a link for a good place to get the rizoma mirrors??

these look really good - how's the visibility and did you go for the long or shorts?

dazzi-b · 06-01-2005, 03:02 PM

I've just ordered a pair from Monstrack and after speaking to Kevin who runs the monster side of things he recomended the longer pair. At just over Â£70 quid + P&P I thought they were a good bargain.
You can also pay him using Paypal

Â£70....the website says they are $145 - that's a pretty good exchange rate you're getting, or is there some gst stuff excluded for overseas buyers?

We stock most Rizoma mirrors and are the only UK importer of Rizoma Ducati parts. 20% off Rizoma items to UKMOC members during January (only if you ask for the discount though!!). Most of them are on our own website or you can view them at www.rizoma.com

beauty question here - what do you think looks better on a red monster - chrome or black mirrors?

dazzi-b · 11-01-2005, 06:17 PM

I think Black but I suppose it's what you like

11-01-2005, 06:45 PM

Chrome is reserved for black babies only.

You need black my friend.
