1199 Lets Face It, The Mirrors Are Crap.

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Sam1199, Dec 1, 2014.

  1. I don't find it an issue.... but then I am a rather strange shape compared to proper people. May I suggest you add a bit of mass to the mirrors, such as packing them with lead shop mixed into DumDum ( via the indicator access ) ?
     
  2. i think the Panigale is a fantastic bike and there are only two things I would change.

    Very hot ass

    Very poor mirrors, although I have learned to live with them but would be pleased to make them usable.
     
  3. I found them ok, but really depends on a persons build, the slightly larger person who's arms stick out a bit more will block the mirrors view, but hey why do you need to see whats coming up behind you, I would be more interested in what I am fast approaching in front of me :)
     
  4. 3. slippy standard pegs
    4. side stand thats awkward to put down
    5. standard seat is rubbish
     
  5. I'm 'almost' with ymfb. Most bikes these days seem to have mirrors that put style over function. One of the recent incarnations of ZX10R had 'very' sticky out mirrors and looked horrible mind. So my only gripe is the extremely hot ass issue.
     
  6. Ahhhh and there was me thinking you meant hot ass as in wow look at that.
    I am thinking of binning heat shield on 1199 dont mind having hot bum.
    I found seat comfy enough did 140 mile ride to Norfolk and didn't get numb bum, slippy pegs is right though swapped mine for Oberon only £40
     
  7. For side stand push down with toe of boot its a lot easier than trying to get it down with heel of boot.
     
  8. (and they is ugly)
     
  9. Will you stop looking in that mirror!!!

  13. 3. slippy standard pegs - never been an issue but I am planning on replacing with Motor Corse
    4. side stand thats awkward to put down - not a problem with my Alpinestars
    5. standard seat is rubbish - yes, replaced with DP
     
  14. And the ugly issue?
     
  15. Not seen you fella but you could write to one of those makeover programs?
    Failing that just take all the mirrors out of your house.

  16. Try a balaclava
     
  17. good idea! i'll wear it backwards....
     
  18. Ah yes just wrap it round the mirrors that should keep them still :)
     
  19. I hate mirrors, but they are usefull just to check who or what might be behind you especially around town, I just because of that I finally put on a small CRG bar end mirror after riding around 1k miles with any
