Please let me know. Thanks. Sounds like a fun project to get them back into shape or give it a rat look :)

They are no longer black but a faded dark grey now and have seen a lot of sun and rain. I wouldn't mount these on a bike if I were you. I would go for something new and shiny.

I will check with ducati of Austin to see if they have the bracket. Since you are soon going to change the mirrors, are you interested in selling the old ones? My mirrors need to be replaced and I am looking for a solution with good visibility. Thanks for your time. Thanks for your prompt response.

Otherwise I would have had to purchase from Pro Italia and pay for shipping from Italy. Previous owner mounted the mirrors on the levers... I loved them up there. They look cool and gave me an excellent view behind me. But I just recently removed them and noticed that one of them was modified to fit along side the longer reservoir. Some of the mirror stem metal was removed, but I hadn't noticed it until I took the mirror off. I'm going with some Oberon bar end mirrors soon.

I just got my first bike. It is a Ducati monster 750. It has been quite fun to work on it. I have a question. I need to change the clutch bracket, but I haven't found it online. Can you tell me where you purchase yours? thanks in advance. I have been looking at mirrors as well. I was wondering if mounting them from the levers works well. Thanks for your time and help.

The fact that you're in Austin caught my eye, as I'm here as well. I'm looking for my first bike and it may be a CB 550. I can't believe your bike sold for $2,900, after looking around for over a month, it looks to me like someone got a great bike at a great deal! Thanks for posting all of your work so clearly. If I end up with a CB 550 then I'm sure I'll reference this site again. Cheers, Lance I just read pretty much your entire blog after doing a search on the CB 550 and your site came up.
