hands down the CRG mirrors are some of the best made out there, they make a round one and the arrow (I've mounted arrows on my streetfighter)

Big downside you lose your turn sigs in front.

+ 1,

I have the CRG arrrow ones to go on my Pani and they are definetly the pick of the bunch.
I have seen the Rizoma ones and they are beautifuly finished but to retro for the bike in my opinion.
 
If you want a higher quality mirror than CRG, look at the Rizoma bar end mirrors. Mount the same way as the CRG. You'll need the bar-end mirror mount (motowheels sells one that fits). The mirror mount bar end is threaded (which is different than other Duc's) which is similar to Aprilia's bar end.

The Rizoma mirrors seem to be better made and much better optics in the mirror than the CRGs (IMO).

You will have to consider adding signals if you remove your antlers though. Oberon makes signal adapters but you'll have to run your signal wires into your bars.

Thanks man, yeah I'll definitely look into the CRG ones, do they come complete with the mount for the panigale too or is that something I'd have to buy seperate?
 
No, you'll need a threaded bar end that can mount the mirrors on. Similar to Aprilia bar-ends as they are also threaded. motowheels sells a set that will fit.

Keep in mind, if you locate the mirrors on the bar-end you'll have to figure something out for signal lights as those are originally on the moose antlers as well.

You should also consider Rizoma mirrors. A bit more expensive than CRG, but better optics and IMO better quality.

Will the Oberon signals work with the Rizoma, if not what did you use?

Yes, the oberon's work fine if you get the adapter that can handle the oberon on the bar end as well as the mirrors. I've been running the oberon's and rizoma mirrors for a couple months now.
 
I personally think the arrow look better with the Pani angular shapes. The round ones lend themselves to the monster and other curvy bikes. Just for personal taste.

You can't use the mirrors on the track. Track day orgs. don't want anyone looking at what's behind them! ;)

Which round or arrow would you recommend for the Panigale? Or is it more purpose-related, street/track?

RE: the crgs. They actually sell a universal mount, it's listed with the mirrors they sell.

Rizoma are also a top quality item. I would recommend staying away from the chinese knock offs of crg and others on ebay, as they look very similar but things like build quality, vibrations are issues.

You get what you pay for and don't skimp on this.

I use them with the Oberon bar end signals and they aren't as bad as they look at first.
 
I know for a fact the Rizoma mirrors work. We've installed a few sets of them on Tricolore's here. For turn signals we've been using the Watson Design LED indicators and mounting them in hidden places. Those things are incredibly bright and very small which make it great to hide!
 
Two quick points:

1) the generic CRG end bar adaptor works fine. The piece that expands is super soft aluminium and won't hurt the threads. No need for the super special threaded doohickeys.

2) buy mirrors that fold back. You'll be very happy you did the first time you get a little too close to a car mirror...

Agree with Tbot on hidden micro blinkers. They look great (mainly because you can't see them) and are easier to handle than threading stuff thru the handlebars.

Do you have a picture of the bike with the Rizoma mirrors and Watson Design LED indicators installed? Thanks in advance.
