Not sure what I think of modern Ducatis yet. Have always had Ducatis around. Sebrings and Dianas in the 70's, Pantah's et al in the 80's
Just make sure you have a good helmet. When I eventually found the Shoei Xspirit I was releived, turning your head at 100mph wasn't such a deal after all?
Tbh Sev, you’ve put up more posts about this than anyone here, some of us were just answering the lady’s question!
Hi and welcome too the forum great place to learn about your bike ,I had a 848 evo great bike Mirrors had to move elbows ,I removed mine and went for the mirrors on the handlebars was much better.
Hi Helen I know i'm late to this post, but as a 6'2" 848 (non evo) owner i found the stock mirrors to be dire. I took them off and fitted Oberon bar end round mirrors - really small diameter glass but they dont vibrate and you can actually see stuff in them. I put a pair of self adhesive flat LED indicators / resistors where the mirrors were (to cover the holes of the mirror and to provide a flashing indicator light for MOT / arses in cars). Cheers Kevin
Welcome Helen. Great bike. I too had problems with the stock mirrors on my 1098 so have fitted Oberon Mirror Extenders. I see there's a pair going new on eBay for £79.99. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22196008...2wOLsBRPS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=EMAIL They really do make a big difference but I can imagine the vibes on an 848 might put you off extending yours. Those vibes are higher up the rev range on the 1098 and are not half as prominent. It's your choice. Here's a few pics of mine fitted with the extenders. Regards. Rich.
Welcome Helen, I've a standard 848 - and love it, I don't stress over the mirrors and canna be bothered to throw money at fittng non-standard items. You'll get used to riding with a limited rear view and doing more life checks! Enjoy.
Congrats I have a v2 and my mate 1299 we both replaced with rizoma doesn't quite problem. Mirrors are on fairing not well supported so vibrate so u can’t much . All aftermarket mirrors have same prob best solution is to fit bar end mirrors but may not look too good
yeah, they do look a bit ugly and I’m getting more used to the mirrors being out on it more regularly. All tips from previous responses were carried out, so I can now do the chicken dance to compensate!!
