If visibility and high speed stability were a concern then she could've gone for stock Bajaj Pulsar 150/180/200 Mirrors, best in terms of visibility and high speed stability and I say this in spite of having used Duke mirrors in the past and currently running on RTR mirrors on my 100.

I am also using Duke 250 mirrors on my Dominar, as visibility is low in Dominar mirrors, not sure of Pulsar range.

One minus with Duke is visibility for quick overtaking, as the immediate behind vehicle cannot be seen easily from the right bottom side of the mirrors.

I know about the Dominar/NS Mirrors, I got mirror clamps for a friends P220 as he was too lazy to change the Clutch side yoke But guess what with the Dominar/NS mirrors in place the visibility was worse than the P220 mirrors, and the P220 used to have a reputation for having the worst possible mirrors on a motorcycle such that I have a friend from WB who has 3 RVM's on his P220, 2 stock mirrors and one Bajaj mirror mounted using P180 MC clamp.

As for the Bajaj ones, they're the best there is considering visibility and high speed stability, the only reason I don't have them installed is due to me being a cheapo and waiting for the RTR(100)/Unicorn(220) mirrors to break before investing in a new pair.

The RTR ones have the same issue, though several people swear by them I find the issue alarming especially when riding the 100 as at times I'd be riding at 80 kmph and just when I'm about to change lanes I get blasted by the interstate bus passing by me at a considerably higher speed which literally was not there when I'd checked the RVM before considering shifting lanes.

Another issue with the RTR mirrors is that the weight is not balanced appropriately, meaning if I ride hard then after a couple of jumps and hard landings the mirrors tend to come loose, my co-rider even took a video of me tightening my RVM's during the GQ run as he was kinda glad that even my motorcycle had to face issues considering that his brand new RE had parts breaking loose at high speeds.



The Duke mirrors are definitely not worth the 500~600/- price, the high speed stability is good, but visibility is crap, not to mention that the mirrors crack with the least possible impact.

Candida posted this update from Indonesia today:

I just completed the 3rd leg of the DominarAustralasianOdyssey here in Bali. After riding through 9 Countries and some 21,500kms... Skye is on a container ship on the way to Perth and will take 3 to 4 weeks to get there. This is the longest time I've been away from Skye. But I know many adventures await us on the fourth leg of this journey, as we ride across Australia... So stay tuned for more travel stories from 2019. Untill then I'm gonna be posting all the pictures and videos I missed to post along the way and it's family time now 😊


PS : the route is not accurate... But shows most of the places covered.

I was very lucky to meet Candida in Adelaide and was able to host her.
I am gobsmacked by her courage and perseverance to do this trip. I think we all have a lot to learn from her. As she organizes Motorcycle tours in Bali, I am going to try and make it next year.

Please follow her on her social media.

A few photos of her and the bike.
