Has anybody fitted the bar end mirrors to their LX's.

My questions are...

1, The bar has a strength plate welded in the end.
i) did you remove that and use an expansion style bar end
ii) did you drill and tap it and use a bolt in version.

2, Is there a specific grommet you used to cover the old positions holes, be it Vespa or a generic electrical one an electrician would use.

Cheers

My installation post might help.

I found i needed the original mirrors to ride comfortably in traffic so ditched the oberons. Love the bar ends though.

Cheers bud, that's a big help.

I'll be changing my grips too as they have built in metal ends, so will just get open ones when I do.

I put these on my GTS and they fit perfectly. Fitted them using the Vespa barend screws and did not use the expanding plugs they came with.
