The mirrors on the GTS are kinda wide for lane splitting, wider even than the handlebars. Any narrow options out there? I find myself avoiding splits that would be easy on my Ninja or 74 Primavera.

Mirrors
I have a pair of black Rizoma Radial RS mirrors (w/adapters) from my Aprilia Caponord sitting in the garage that may fit your Vespa.

thanks for the ideas - the video did have some shorty mirrors, and with a bit more searching I found this:

Shorty Mirrors are Back in Stock!

looks like just the ticket - same as stock but shorter!

Yeah the mirrors on the 300's really add some width to the scoot. My BMW C650GT is a much larger bike but I can squeeze it through much tighter situations and the mirrors can flip in if in a pinch. My 3rd bike, the Ural. Yeah not so good for lane splitting or getting through tight places.

I'd love to find a way to get the bar end weights shorter but keep the function as well, but I don't think they are as much the problem as the mirrors are, so I decided to start there. The mirrors seem to be at generic SUV mirror height so they are a bigger deal.

I hear you there but I do think they help with the notorious head shake issue and if you have crash bars especially they add an extra layer of protection for the expensive to repair uni body.

Are you interested in selling them? I've been looking at various Rizoma options for my 2015 T-Max, and those definitely have a style that I like...

These are PV1434 from scootercenter.de, mirrors for models with seperate covers for brake fluid containers do not fit, you don´t have access to the hexagon of the counter nut.

Mine is 2015 but I did digest that the HPE models don't have the covers anymore and actually have a right hand thread and a left hand thread, so HPE people need different mirrors.
