    You are right...there is a visable difference.....what I was wanting to know from Bruce is whether or not the 355 mirror studs would match the 348 mounting plate.

    power will no longer work, right? I want to get these also, group buy anyone? Would the weave match the Valance front lip? I think that combo would look nice!

    I'm bringing some deep-discount OEM Stradale mirrors into stock in the coming weeks. I don't know if they'll fit, but it might be a nice look. In my opinion, the thin stalk on the Stradale mirror would visually complement the cheesegraters.

    Great idea Daniel....I agree....I had been looking to do this, but since I didn't know if they would work I bought the 355 CF ones.

    As of you who are waiting on carbon fiber parts know, our plate is pretty full at the moment, so I don't think we are going to make carbon mirrors in the near future. That said, we do have a pair of 355 mirror bodies that I have been fooling around with for a while. My plan was to make just the larger part (that holds the glass) so that the mirror could still fold as stock, and accept the stock glass and motor. The base could be painted black. Maybe a full version would follow.

    Some of our first and probably most successful production parts were side mirrors for Ducati Superbikes, so we're intimately familiar with mirror housings.

    Great idea Chris...I understand your plate being full, and with all the work needing to be invested in bringing this project to completion you would have to sell sell sell a bunch to recover your cost.

    Thanks for the post.

    I am interested on the 360CS mirrors, I wonder if it will fit the 355? How much are they?
