Recently while shopping for parts while rebuilding my bike I was faced with a choice of going with oem mirrors which even though they had their “shortcomings” performed fairly well and flowed nicely with the Busa lines.
My only gripe was they were just a tad too short (I can’t stand the look of the spacers which is why I never ran them) and they didn’t have any form of indicator. Coming from a GSXR 600 back in 06 when Suzuki launched the redesign, I knew just how effective mirrors with indicators were. I mean if you think about it, mirrors are technically the widest part of the bike. Having some sort of an indicator on there seems like a no brainer.
I tried many of the eBay specials and they all were just plain crap. I could never see anything while not moving, let alone while riding.
I put a lot of time and thought into my bike rebuild and since my mirrors vanished into the abysss when the bike was wrecked I had a decision to make. So I thought okay. I’ll finally do it, I’ll get a pair of Ducati mirrors with indicators and modify the bases to work on the Busa. I began trying to figure out what ones worked with the Busa lines and stumbled upon KiWav who claimed they had mirrors that actually were actually tailored to be upgraded mirror replacements for Ducati’s and other bikes.
I browsed their selection and decided the “Lucifer” model was exactly what I wanted and more. This mirror not only had an indicator but also a running light...SCORE!
Price wise they were more than replacement OEM style mirror but much less than other manufacturers out there so I figured I would give them a shot and placed the order
