Default New mirrors for older SS bikes

Found these "universal fit" mirrors at a local Polo Dealer here in Germany, I can finally chuck those massive blocks of plastic Ducati called mirrors back in 1993, cost was only about 40 bucks for the pair.... best of all they show whats behind me instead of my elbows



Now if I could only get rid of this School Bus Headlight!

L/H 50190002020

P/N's for plain black

L/H 50190002000

You may want to call them from the US 011-49-180-522-5785

If your serious about getting these it would probably be easier if I did a group order then mailed them out to everyone.

Have you had a chance to road test them yet? I think I'm interested in pitching in for a group buy, but would like to know how they do vibration wise and if the rear view clears the elbows. I'm using Napoleon mirrors now, but am thinking of going with either the smaller mirrors by CGI (?) or these ones you're now using.

Thanks for offering to help with these by the way.

Well today was my first road test with these mirrors and I have to say I jumped the gun a bit when I said they offer a better view, Sitting on the bike in the garage and getting on the road made a big difference.

I would say with the new morrors that my view to the rear is no better or worse for that matter than stock. As far as vibration goes they do have a little shake to them depending on the rpm of the bike but my stock ones did the same thing. So the only plus these new mirrors offer after my road test is looks.

So if you guys just want a better looking mirror let me know I'll get them if you want to see better then these may not be for you.

Thanks for the honest feedback. The mirrors look sharp on your ride, but I think I'll hold off for now.
