Has anyone installed bar end mirrors on their vespa? I have a 2019 primavera I'd like to install them on but I'm not sure what the thread size is inside the handle grip. In the wiki here is says the recommended for a GTS is 5mm.

Anyone have experience with this or know the thread size needed?

Any bar end mirror for your make/model would fit, you would get something like this https://www.scooterwest.com/bar-end-mirror-mounting-kit.html and then add the mirrors you like to go with it.
Personally I don't have bar end mirrors as that increases my width and riding in NYC one does squeeze between vehicles to get to the front at lights, yes it it is illegal but I do it anyway.

lol yes on the width and stay safe in NY traffic.

Yes, I have a kit. But one of the screws got bent plus it's the wrong length because I'm adding bar end weights as well.

Anyway, I'm trying to find the thread size so I can pickup a replacement at the hardware store.

Take the screw to a hardware( them box stores or your local) store and they have a gauge to measure the size of the bolt/screw both thread/pitch and the diameter. Once you know that I am sure you can get a replacement there or order one from McMaster Carr possibly.

Thanks for the idea. I went to the hardware store and it turns out they are M6.

I'll post photos when the mirrors are installed.

Theres so many options out there which require further parts and mounts. Even different grips to ensure they fit?! Im getting a tad confused. Has anyone got bar end mirrors fitted I tried the oxford ones but had no joy also they were ugly and bulky!
