KTM's? They look like the SuperDuke mirrors. I was looking into those prior to getting the Tuono mirrors. They look great regardless!

They are '07 KTM 690 SuperMoto mirrors. These are more angular than the one's in the photo above.

Less than $25 a piece. I figured to get a pair of 8mm to 10mm adapters from Dennis Kirk for $11 and be done. But NO, the bastages at KTM spec'd a left hand thread on the shafts and KTM adapters are $30 for the pair! At that point the Touno mirros are looking better.
But.
Not to be denied, I got my cousin to spin a couple of collars to fit over the shafts, to "shim" them to .475". That allowed me to use the Buell mirror collet mounts.

Looks good, Teeps. Looks like you got your dual-scoops on too.

Not to hijack your mirror thread but how do the scoops work?

They give the bike a balanced look, other than that; no better than stock. :-(

Snowscum,
That thing right behind the front wheel on the KTM is a roadkill fillet and cookem processor. Anytime you hit a coon, rabbit, possum or other critter, you just ride another 1/2 hr while the front headers take care of business and the meat will just fall right off the bone. Delicious!
