Improving the 1098 mirrors - How?

You could use the after market mirror extenders from the likes of Oberon or the Ducati spacers from the 1198?

Alternatively try a Reevu helmet, better than mirrors in a vibrating twin!

 

I went with the DP mirrors, although smaller and a rediculous price, they don't vibrate half as much....now I get one car behind instead of about six.

I'm not sure if the extenders will go on them tho....

Try these:
Ducati 1098 mirror extender | eBay
Bargain at that price I paid about £70 for mine a few years agao!

 

Be careful you don't get ripped off on the mirror extenders, they were only about £40 quid for the genuine Ducati ones from a dealer as an OE. replacement for the 1198 ones.

That eBay add is only for one too.

And the Oberon ones have a funny kick in them, which instantly turns your pride and joy from a thing of beauty into a moose!

Oooo,

I normally use Ducati Glasgow or Moto Rapido, both carry lots of replacement items and DP parts too, they're both really quick on the delivery of the items in stock, usually next day and offer excellent help and advice.

I've also had good service from Cobb and Jagger near Leeds.

Instant moose antlers...

Moto- rapido. I enquired about them before I got my DP ones. Was quoted about a tenner each I think.

Hideous. Not only a moose, but one that looks like its had its neck broken!!

 

Here's an alternative that would also be an improvement to the stock mirrors.



A blindfold, great idea! Tho I've not tried it personally!

 

that really does look rubbish!

 

Yeah I'm not sure what Oberon were thinking with those....

Obviously went against the Italian's passion for sexy looks first, function second, to create something that probably works great...but makes you look like your riding a reindeer or summit.

Oh no.... I hate it when I f*ck up n need to grovel for forgiveness. :wink:

 

You can pm me here Andy, I'm always about....

 

i too wanted some extenders when i first bought the bike but i read a post on a forum the usa one i think and they recommended lifting your elbow instead of dropping it and to be honest it is better obviously you still get the vibration but i can live with that.
