I can confirm that Halfords do a fine set for a carbed SS. About £13 if I remember correctly for a pair. Exceptionally cheaper than ordering from Mr Ducati.

Yep, I remember seeing some on Ebay a little while back - original 'Ferarri' red ones for £99

I seem to remember some of the CBR600 mirrors will fit and reduce vibration as well.

Also, for the OEM mirrors - Brancato used to make mirror extension blocks that I've found useful but, can make blurring from vibes a bit worse.

brilliant!
i already have the extendo-blocks which i find a lifesaver as i commute on mine
does anyone know exactly what to ask for at halfords? i assume they will not know them as ducati mirrors but rather something esle? i need to ring my local one before i go as its a way .....

As a option Nick, the Americans in particular, seem to rate bar end mirrors highly - not my cup of tea I admit but, I guess it wouldnt make the bike any wider than the std mirrors:

tbh happy with the standard mirrors - even when on the blocks - i just need another after another rider lost control and ran into my parked up bike at squires 2 weeks ago

engineer came and wrote her off yesterday - but get to keep the salvage so it is going back on the road
