Even with a slider kit, a drop guarantees that the mirror will snap in two by the stem.
Two questions arise from this issue.
1. Is there an adhesive strong enough to bond the broken halfs back together that can withstand, constant vibrations, high speed/wind conditions, waterproof/resistant, and temperate extreme proof (in my case hot sun). I'm using Q-Bond, but it seems to have an average lifespan of 3-4 days a week at most (I only glued back the mirror 2-4 times of varying lengths 2days-week).
2. There is a a mirror with OEM styling from Bikemaster that costs 100 dollars less than ducati OEM price (130 vs 230 USD). The part is listed as a 1299 OEM Mirror. Will this lineup to the 959 mounts and is the quality up to par with OEM. The issues here is I could save money and purchase the bikermaster mirror but I may lose out on severe quality and the other side is I may be overpaying for ducati parts because ducati.
The mirror in question.
