halfords do them mate-- i was only looking at some the other week-- but picked some up from a kind DD'er- now sprayed red

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.

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:

Granted..but seeing a flashing blue light behind or not ???

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
