A lot of "bolt-type" mirrors on ebay appeared as OEM.
What is the true between "buttoning up" and "bolt" type
mirrors? :phone:
Anyway on my 750 paso the "bolt" type from FAR maker
need hard modification until to installed.

the original Paso mirrors were the snap-on type. The other cheaper looking plastic bolt on mirrors were originally for the Cagiva Freccia 125cc. These are produced by FAR, Italy.
As the original mirrors went out of production many years ago Ducati meanwhile sells the Freccia mirrors as original Paso spare part. Ducati is selling the mirrors for a "Ducati price" while you can buy them for 35-45 Euros if you look anywhere else.

So we can resume that:
Only "snap" type mirrors installed from Ducati on Paso,
irregardless if later "bolt" type from Freccia,Far e.t.c. were sold as OEM.
The biggest problem (except installation) there is no adjustment for these
mirrors...... :dunno:
Thanks.

Please provide a picture as proof! Be prepared for excessive ridicule tho :-)

The fit is the only issue I have with the FAR mirrors. It took quote a bit of fiddling and enlarging the mounting holes to get a sweet fit. Not as perfect as a factory mirror but as good as it's gonna get.
