After having folding mirrors on my 1199 I was disappointed at my V4 having fixed mirrors, really awkward in garage/van/manoeuvring. So I have modelled an interface part, a mounting base for 1199 Panigale folding mirrors to neatly fit a V4 standard mirror mount points. Once I finished that modelling of part and had proven functions then I had model 3D scanned, and from arising CAD drawing evolved the detail. I then had pair of parts CNC machined from aircraft grade ali' (as reckoned to be strong as steel) then used these very subtle interface parts to neatly fit to my V4 a pair of 1199 folding mirrors. All this using Ducati original rigid mirrors fixing points on chassis and hence without through all this any interference with Factory build construction. My ending up with firmly mounted folding mirrors. From conveying pictures of results to 2 large UK Ducati Dealers observation, I got reaction of "look awesome" and "A nicely thought out product , well done sir!". I will if anyone is interested load some pic's to better illustrate.

Rizoma makes foldable mirrors with turn signals built in. Im not sure how the mirror itself is adjusted on the V4 but on the 1299 only the mirror itself can be moved. Its annoying to move it with your finger. But with the Rizoma you hold the entire housing and move it to the position you want it to be. The only draw back is you need to purchase the Rizoma adapters for the V4. They are much less for the 1299. Im not sure why the adapters cost so much. Here is link to Bellissimotos site for the mirrors and adapter.
