Anyone tried these mirrors? - Ducati.ms

Due to a small mishap in my own damn driveway (

stupid mud...), I need a new mirror on my Sport. Was looking around ebay, has anyone checked out these?

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

The guy says they are much higher quality than the Japanese Napoleons, which I had put on my Enfield and seem fine but are smaller than stock, and these are larger too (90mm x 145mm).

I have one of those - I'm not sure if its quality is obviously superior to Napoleon mirrors, but it is very nice nevertheless. I have a few bar end mirrors in my drawer and this one is likely the nicest in terms of finish etc. I guess it is put together differently too, as it does away with the plastic/rubber "gasket" around the glass that all other mirrors of this style seem to have.
It is larger than the Japanese Barens and more rectangular in shape. I was actually looking for a mate for the one I have (made by F.A.R.) so I guess that's it.
I'm not sure if I want to pay eighty five bucks for one though...

Well $65 + shipping, which is probably more to Canada, unfortunately Ducati OEM is around $130 for one

If this is identical to OEM, it's worth it no doubt. BUT, make sure it is in fact the same, or else you need to buy a pair and then the savings vanish...
Ask me how I know...
I can take some detailed pictures of it if you want and send them to you later tonight.
I have no OEM mirror for side-by-side comparison, just a bunch of non-matching aftermarket ones...

Those are not Napoleon. They're FAR which is a huge OEM supplier. Notice that the glass is rectangular, not the Napoleon/Halcyon classic trapezoid shape.
