Well. I went with Rizoma. Pricey, but nothing comes close to looking "OEM" like the Rizoma's and I did not want to go bar end mirrors. Yes, they don't alleviate the issue the stock mirrors had, but I just lift my right or left elbow and look under to find the view from behind. But I love the look.

Have you got some more photos of the Rizomas? How bright are the LEDs?

You werent kidding about the price!

They're plenty bright. I just like the OEMish look to it compared to bar end mirrors. I've had bar end mirrors on a previous bike, but for whatever reason, I just like the slim profile and integrated lights that these Rizomas have on the V4

Installed a set of black 2" CRG BSLS-100 Blindsight 'Lane-splitting' (Folding) Aluminum Mirrors on Bella.
Very happy with the result both looks and function are much better than I expected.

Their mildly convex rearview is super steady and crisp, so much better than the vibrating stock mirrors. Because of their ball-joint I can easily fold them in, out of the way, when manoeuvring through tight spaces or riding in between cue'ed up cars.
Sturdy build quality is top notch too.

Tip: to properly clear the throttle movement on the right side, I added a 7/8" (22mm) clip-on extension spacer underneath the CRC mirror-clamp through which the fixating end of the brake-lever protector is still able to fixate itself in the hollow 7/8" clip-on tube of V4 fine. In fact, I just bought a cheap set of 7/8" alu clip-on tubes on Aliexpress and saw of the required length (10mm) the get the required spacer. works perfect.

Tip2: many use these type of 'blindsight' mirrors with the clamp/mirror-arm(?) pointing down. In this setup both my lower arms were blocking the rearview. When both mirror-arms face upwards, rearview is un-obstructed.

Might have to get some of those, on my 1299 I got the motoscience ones which are much better than stock but still pretty useless unless you like pumping you arms like a chicken every time you want check behind.

*typo saw of = sawed off

I have some full carbon ones I am selling.

These look great. Are you able to easily fold them up against the fairing or are the fixed in place? Thanks.

I would say they are "fixed" in the sense that they require a torx bit to loosen them to fold. I like the way they look. They're OEM+ to me.

Thanks for posting the pics. What mirrors are those? Where did you get them?

Yeah, I actually has been waiting for the Skully helmet for 5years now. Would probably have to wait 5 more years. My plan was to use that and remove the mirrors. But since the helmet never arrived I ordered some handlebar mirrors.
For me it is very important that they don't build out much, since I do a lot of lane splitting. These only build out 1cm and look fabulous imho.

Check out the new Rizoma winglet mirrors.

Interesting design. Yikes...$400 EU for a pair.

Pretty cool design. I wish they had built-in led turn signals in the base section.

That was EXACTLY my thought.

That's close to the cost of the stock mirrors from Ducati.

That's kind of a loaded statement. It may be close to the replacement cost.

There's no turn signal integration. It's on the owner to ad-hoc something together. Not the best. But, I think the bigger issue is with material and production which drove the cost through the roof. As designed, 3D print it and slap some glass in it. Injection molding...anything other than CNC from billet. The machine time is making it cost what it does.

I'd rather get turn signal block off plates and do without mirrors. They're only good for seeing what's behind you while stopped.

I think the mirrors wreck the racing inspired look so they always get tossed
Added TWM bar ends and brake lever guard & a CRG Arrow mirror on the left bar

Turn signals are relocated below the mirrors. You can see them in the picture.

I meant in the mirror's base. Adding a LED in the way they did makes it looks like an after thought.

Yeah or smoked in the blade. That would be dope. I don’t feel as though they are as visible where they are now.
