What did you just buy for your bike?

  1. Just fitted the bar end mirrors that turned up today on the 999
     
  2. Pics please. What you get? I'm about to hit "buy".
     
  3. I just bought some cheap ones on fleabay, the first ones I got I couldn't get to tighten up properly and they kept moving. These are solid so Should be ok, they were only £13 , I need to get out on it to try them out.
    I'll take pics and post later
     
  4. I left my oem mirrors in place and added an Oberon small Streetfighter mirror on the right side.
    More than £13.00 but still good value.
    Quality is excellent and works a treat at filling in the blindspot immediately behind. Adds almost no width and is discreet enough not to affect the looks of the bike
     
  5. I have cheap ones and everything is tiny so going for twin Oberon. Probably.
     
  6. If you keep the oem, you don't need two imho
     
  7. I'm not keeping OEM ;-)
     
  8. Ive fitted both for now as I don't have OEM mirrors, see what it's like but may just use one.

  9. Had to buy a 10 ton hydraulic puller off ebay today to get primary gear off crank as normal two legged puller won't do the job
     
  10. What do you have for indicators?
     
  11. Your choice but bar end mirrors are a long way off your normal riding eyeline. I personally wouldn't want them to be my main mirrors.
     
  12. Just bought a luggage rack from palmer products to go on the back of the multi and some R&G crash protectors
     
  13. Carbon upper chain guard and carbon pipe cover from Conquest Carbon :handok:
     
  14. Carbon sprocket cover... not that you can actually see much of it once fitted!
     
  15. I rode for a few weeks in the summer with the OEM taped over. Position was fine, just everything being tiny was the problem.
     
  16. Must be wide-angle, convex glass.

    Don't have that problem with the Oberon.

  17. That's what I'm hoping.
     
  18. The Streetfighter comes in two sizes. I use my smaller version as an additional check for the blindspot immediately behind.

    It may be a bit small for a main mirror and the bigger ones are a fair bit dearer
     
  19. Oil,filter and sump plug washers for the 1098R.
    I took the gauze strainer out and there is a little gasket under the square cover. This is not shown on the R parts catalogue.
    When I went to get the oil today I looked with the helpful Lloyd from P&H and spookily, it's not on the 1098S either but it IS on the base 1098.

    My life Rule no 1 applied: "Trust nobody/nothing (especially Ducati part catalogues)"

  20. Yeah, I'm going to plump for the expensive ones.
