yea ill wait, it could save me 200 from the stock set-up if I can stand how it looks.

3 small parts adding up to $570=DUCATI!

Ducati purposely priced the oem bar-end mirrors and hand guards outrageously high because they know that is the first thing damaged in just a bike tip-over situation.

theres no reason a hand guard without the signal should be $225! and a friggin bar end mirror $205! WTF

Where are the Chinese knockoffs when you need them!?!
Ducati 999 lever $116, 58cycle version.....$17.95
I'm sure it'll work just the same.

MCS are importers into Australia of all manner of parts and accessories. Last week I checked out their mirrors with LED indicators, $60 each. Two shapes, one is tear drop wlth the point facing outwards. The second is basically oval shaped with two flat/straight sections on the upper & outer portion, this mirror is slightly larger and more asthetic.

The arms are made in two parts; The vertical rise is straight with an allen head bolt thru it to the bar mirror mount, with a short arm protruding from the side towards 2/10pm. The wires for the LED indicators exit from underneath this arm. The longer arm attached to the mirror screws into the short arm.

The angles are such that the mirror would be situated close to your hand, not way up in the air.

I thought of visiting the bike wreckers to purchase a pair of lever mount/mirror mount clamps that have screw holes at the same centres as Ducati parts and paint them, and track down wrecked indicators from Ducati Dealer so I can use indicator wires or at least the 2 pin plugs.

Here's my setup;

DP mirrors & blinkers
pro taper reed bend bars
Acerbis supermoto guards
Pazzo shorty levers

I wanted something that was narrower than stock, could handle a stack or fall of the stand, and for the mirrors/blinkers to be removed easily for track days. Pretty happy with it now.

I was looking at the DP mirrors and handguards this past weekend. Do these mirrors vibrate or do they give you a nice, clear rear view?

If there's little or no vibration, this seems like one of the cleaner setups available.

Mine have no vibration, even at 100mph. They give a very clear unobstructed view.. my shoulders are just in the corners.
