scooterwest/robot has a couple videos w easy mirror options. I was expecting to slowly convert most of the chrome on my bike to black.


4 Mirror Options for the New Vespa GTS 300 Super
bar end mirrors - anyone use these? Love the look, not sure if I would like the additional head movement to use them.

(unrelated, how do you get videos embedded in threads??? there seemes to be some [youtube] code but cant get it or the yt iframe embed to work)

I put longer mirrors on.

When i upgraded from a 2009 GTS to a 2019 Supertech i hated (and considered it dangerous) that the new mirrors were shorter and no amount of adjusting would give me as good vision as before.

I installed a pair from a 2015 Primavera that has the same style (and reverse thread on the left) as the Supertech but still had the length of the old GTS.

Now I'm happy.

Moral: remember that mirrors have a job to do.

The longer the mirror rod is, the more it vibrates.

Don't enclose the link in URL tags. It will automatically be converted. And you don't need the iFrame version -- just a simple link.

I installed these as well, I like them soooooooo much better than the stock huge tall chrome ones.

Are these any narrower than stock?

I'm looking for some (black or silver) that are narrower since I have to squeeze between two cars when I park in my garage.

The latest GTSs are coming out with a nice shorty mirror, very attractive and available in black or chrome. I have just fitted a pair of chrome ones to my white GTS300. They do restrict one's view behind a bit, not suitable if you have a wide frame or wear a bulky jacket. Only problem is they come with left and right handed threads, so if you are getting them for an older scooter you need to order two left side ones to get the threads right.

Thanks, Mike. Mine's a 2017.
Looks like they come in pairs. I'll have to see if they can break up a set.

I switch my gts mirrors to the matte black sprint mirros from scooter west. they are a bit shorter - which im starting to get used to. makes filtering easier.

Anyone else have these? the arm staying put, but the mirror pivot keeps getting fully changed from the cover i put on it while parking.

Is there some way to tighten the pivot point?
Maybe i should order the sport mirrors from sw

I ended up buying the Vespa Rizoma silver mirrors .Yes they were expensive but since i will not be buying anything new in the scooter line i figured what the hell.Love the look and the blue glass . Rock solid with no vibration and great views from them. Bought the Vespa Rizoma Aluminum Grab handle cover on the back and front fender top piece .The Aluminum machined design with the Vespa logo on the 3 pieces is beautiful and ties everything together
