Yellow Mirrors are wank. You should get Carbon Fibre ones.

That would compliment the lines of your bike no end mate  especially if you got ones with skinny little stalks. I also think your screen looks a little too transparent.

Don't go carbon. Carbon anything that doesnt require it for heat reasons or whatever is pure wank factor.
Carbon would ruin the look of this bike.
But I reckon you already know that.

Actually, a lot of the bike is already carbon, The airbox is, and I believe it's a semi-stressed member, the side plates are carbon too.
It'll eventually be getting a carbon V piece and a carbon front guard.
But nah, too much un needed carbon is teh wank.

It's a Ducati - it's meant to have wank carbon.
Yellow mirrors look ghey. Keep em black or carbon!

Probably would be a good idea to have a clue about what you're saying before you shoot your mouth off with moronic statements like that.

Un needed is the term.
I would love full, painted CF bodywork, with the logo's in relief. Like Jules bike.
And tank.

Would you have to get the wheels custom made if you wanted a different set?

Well if thats the route your taking, then having carbon mirrors wont look too bad i suppose.
Def dont go those square ones on stalks, but if you found some more curved in shape, like the stockers, that would probably look ok.

 Sod off mate, opinion-based statements do not require me to 'have a clue', nor does it require your approval.
Disagree with me if you think differently, but the 'moron' bit was a bit much.

Stupid statements along the lines of carbon ruining a 748R are just that... Stupid. Perhaps if you spent 20 seconds googling Ducati 748R before you took the opinion of Carbon not belonging on a Ducati you would not come across looking like an ignorant twat.
now go jump back on your 250 and learn a little about how to behave.

Wow. Youre actually serious, arent you?
If I say "I think you should take a dremel tool to the fairings to cut a flame pattern into them, extend the swing-arm, and paint it kawasaki green", you may think that is stupid, but that's what having an opinion is all about. I have a personal opinion about the way it would look, and I am well within my rights to do so.
And who are you to say otherwise?
As for googling the bike in question, I dont need to - I've had the good fortune to see it in person.
And youre telling me I need to learn how to behave? You need to stop wielding your keyboard like a sword, acting like youre better than me... why? Because you ride a bike with a bigger engine capacity?

LAY OFF THE PERSONAL ATTACKS PLEASE GUYS.
Spuddy: goofy worked for a number of years in a Ducati dealership. I'm pretty sure he knows a thing or 2 about them.
Desmo: I really don't see what's wrong with the standard mirrors, but I'm a change parts out of necessity, not bling kind of guy.
Not a fan of making them yellow, but if you must change them, carbon would look ok, maybe something shaped a little like the headlights.
