Keep us posted on how you get on.
It's possible that I could source some here & bring them to Malvern next month.
I'd need some more definitive Spec's though.
I expect your quest to be difficult if not impossible.
LH Nuts should not be too much of a problem because they would be used on specialised machined components with LH threads.
However I must admit that I've never encountered LH Bolts. :roll:
Where & why would they ever be used? :shock:

P.S. I remember there being a Bolt specialist on the Warwickshire Indutrial(?) estate, just off the M40.

Excuse me for stating the obvious, but why don't you get one from the Bike dealer or Ducati themselves?

John,

Original mirrors from Ducati come as a complete unit with thread machined on the stem.I have a pair of mirrors from another source which attach useing cap head bolts,Ducati therefore do not have the required bolt.Thanks for the thought though.

Ian,

Have you tried http://www.namrick.co.uk/browse.asp?PCID=10 they do a stainless RH thread socket screw, but contact them they might be able to do something for you ?

Never used them myself but just a thought.
