So i got these from Motovista. Rockin them. Here's a pic next to another LX so you can see the difference. If your tall you might have a problem but for most they'd be awesome. Great for filtering.

Nice, I bet they would look strange on a gts... I was just thinking today about a mod to my mirrors... To wide in my opinion.

Wide would be the problem, not tall. I like seeing behind me using either mirror. Looks like I would lose about 2 inches and still see both. When I rented the Vespa one mirror had been replaced by a cheap one and the vibrations made it basically useless. Is the Motovista as good as the original mirrors?

They probably are original mirrors. The Vietnamese models come stock with the shorties.

BTW, there is not much difference in width between the LX headset and the GTS one, so they won't look strange on the GTS. The mirror mount is different, though.

Paladin Motovista on here has a shop. Scooterpartsco. DER is right they are the Vietnam ones. Original Piaggio ones but just not stock outside of Asia (i think). LX Pm Motovista and see if he can hook you up. I really like mine.

I'll tell Santa to give me a pair mirrors. (unless you want to be Santa)

That's them, we still have them. Only issue I've run into is the late model LX that has the reverse thread on the Left mirror, something I've never seen until recently. But the Perch is easy to change out, and probably costs what an adaptor does, and by doing so, you won't have to special order mirrors because nobody else that I've ever heard of uses a reverse thread left mirror.

How about letting customers buy these without registering on your site?

Thank you Judy, I got my Christmas present, took my until today to get them mounted. These are genuine Piaggio mirrors, made for the Asian market, for riding in tighter spaces. About 1.5 inches shorter than US mirrors, still wider so I can see behind me instead of looking at me, but a little narrower for filtering past cars.

I KNOW they will not sell your e-mail. My e-mail is <their_site> @ <my_site> -- I my ex-registar, webdomainnow, sold their e-mail, and Daytona Helmets sold theirs. So far those were the only sites I registered at that sold my e-mail to the spammers.

Very good - I shall do that forthwith and procure some sweet, sweet mirrors!

Got me some, and they are the BOMB!

Filtering is easier, and the scoot even fits straight through a 3'0" door with no bobbing and weaving.

The capsule of still air has improved behind the large windscreen (Faco?), and I lost 20 lbs and won the lottery.

Good times,

Thor
