Not a product review but something I found while looking through the Ducati.ms forum. Just a bit different AND they have applications for K100 & K1100- LT, RT and RS Very Happy

John - the way I read it, those are an add on rather than a replacement - I think they stick to the existing mirror with some kind of double stick tape.

No matter - they look pretty cool.

Yeah Jim,

I was so shocked to find a NEW product that fits our aging bikes, I overlooked that fact Laughing

Hi all....

Re these "enhancement mirror" ad-ons.... I checked with the USA dealer in Rhode Island and here's the reply:

Hey Ernie,
Yes you can. The thing is, if we do not have them in stock it will take around 4-6 weeks to get over here from Overseas

Cheers
Shawn

I wouldn't trust ANY mirror. A shoulder check is the only real way to know what's there.

It is interesting to find something new for our antique bikes. Those Z-Technik LT windscreens are pretty new too.

I don't trust the mirrors either - always do a head check before making a move - even in the car - sort of got to be a habit.

It looks like these would show a lot more than the little tiny "eyeball" spot mirrors I'm using now - which actually aren't terrible.

I have a call in to get a price quote - I'll let you know as soon as I hear something. These mirrors are not in stock.

I'd be in

If the availability issue can be fixed, I'd be in for a set of each. I have essentially received the same email reply. "Currently on back order". No indication when that maybe rectified. Would make one wonder if they where ever available or if they just put it out to sample interest.

Hi guys....

No... I dont think this was just a 'teaser'. Twisted Throttle is the only designated rep for MFW in the states... and the product IS new !!

Secondly... if we do a 'group buy' I'd be in for both a right and left side... I have to admit to superior ineptness in that it seems I've done the 'drops' on both sides at least once, AND there are K11OG members that can attest to that fact !! Therefore a 'mirror face re-newal' is definitely in order !!!

Best regards all..........// Ernie in NH

Depending on cost I would be up for a group buy.
One of my mirrors is badly faded in the top right portion of the mirror.
If these are available I might as well replace both with something that can enhance safety.

I heard back from Twisted Throttle.

You guys interested in gold? Or blue? I think I'm going with blue.

Twisted Throttle is going to place an order. It would probably be helpful if they had a count before they order.

Let me know, please.

Just got an email from Rich at Twisted Throttle. As soon as he gets back to me with a price, I'll let you guys know.

Then, I'll need to know ASAP if you want to order.

Jim,

This is for either LT or RS, correct?

I actually don't know if the glass portion of our mirrors are the same between the two K models. Is it?

Anyway, I started this thread so I want to order a blue pair please.

Thanks.

John
