Just letting U all know that instead of the KTM Duke mirrors, I went with the Aprilia Tuono mirrors. They are also used on the F800GS. Picked them up at the local dealer for 41 and some change. They look good and no adapter needed they screw right in. I will load up some pics sometime this week. Guy on ADV turned me on to them, good looking mirror and now when I look in the mirror I see what is behind me not my shoulder. Suppose to help with the buffeting also. We will see Mon morning on the way to work.

I went with the Aprilia mirrors a couple of months ago. They work better than stock, look MUCH better than stock and are priced better than some of the cheap aftermarket mirrors. These same mirrors are used on Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, BMW and others. When I got mine, one was labeled Aprilia and the other was labeled Moto Guzzi. I checked at a BMW stealership, and they tried to tell me that the mirrors would cost over $100 each! A friend on mine just got an F650GS (damn nice bike) and the mirrors are identical.


Here are a couple of not-so-great pics of the mirrors:

They use the same mirrors on the Piagio MP3 500 as well. My local dealer just picked up the Piagio line and parts support is a little sketchy right now. will be looking for an online source.

i think this thread got hijacked. started out as APRILIA mirrors on the Strom and now it seems that everyone's looking at the ones with the lights in them. maybe everyone should state which mirrors they're talking about.

The mirrors look nice... :cool:

If the Bandit style replacement mirrors don't work out for me. I might look at these.

BB - I can see that happening. Not my pair yet but time will take it's toll I'm sure. I like the asthetic looks of the boot over stem.

Just ordered a set, from local dealer, $20 ea. :)

Installed my Piggio mirrors last night. Work great, lower and wider get's past the elbows. another benefit, they seem to have a light tint and since the mirror (reflective part) is shorter, when you ride away from the sun it doesn't reflect in your eyes until way later.

I love those. Seems to be the same mirror that come on the Benelli, which I had tried to get before I found the Triumph Speed Triple mirrors (same as on the Tiger) and fell in love with them. No Benelli dealers would even call me back with pricing, so I'm glad I don't own one of those. Wish I had thought to check Aprilia and gotten them, cause Wow they cost a lot less than the Triumph.

Thanks for sharing.

Well prolly done close to a 1000 miles with these mirrors. They do help with the buffeting b/c most of those miles have been done with the Powerlet windscreen and instead of the CaliSci that U see in the pic. and the buffeting is minimal until around 80 (GPS) and buffeting at that speed is expected (by me anyway). Very happy with these for the vison that they provide, the down trade is that the noise has risen dramatically. The wind that was hitting me in the side of the helmet and causing a turbelence is now hitting me in the left shoulder and creating a large thumping sound coming in under the helmet. I have a RSV Shark coming in the mail and we will see how that works. So far have ridden this set up with my Shoei Hornet and Arai Corsair and both were quit noisy. Lets see how the Shark does.
