Ok lets try this again with some better pictures.. Mirrors can wait.. holidays have destroyed my wallet. Another big thanks to the few who took time in helping me.

you know what, the stock mirrors don't look bad when put on the clipons.

how is it riding with the clip-ons?  I have a old cafe bike with them but just curious about how it handles.

 Very nice execution! Good job, now you are stricken with the mod bug! Good luck with the future mods!

A dream.. I can get my knee down now, makes it a little easier to achieve.. and you feel so much more of the bike when cornering..
It's definitely not as ergonomic compared to an upright bike but compared to supersports/bikes its almost the same. The longest ride so far
without a break has been around 2 hours in and around the city and that left me a little sore, you'll have ducati wrists for a while but I'm used to
it.. 4800ks done since I was last here though. Hope I helped!

Whoever does this might want new indicators, lets you get the levers in a more comfortable spot with the bars so low.
Ended up getting that seat cowl matched with the belly pan, bike looks a bit bigger in my opinion when someones sitting on it, any Opinions?

I love that seat cowl. Xcentrix or something right?

The clip ons look great.  I'm planning on doing the same thing to my 696. Did you have to make any adjustments to the headlight or any cables from the controls?
Thanks

Nice work TC. [thumbsup]
I wonder if the frame thingo over the headlight would look good in matching white or if it would be too much? Not sure. People usually do them in black but it might work in white.
