Vespa-specific bar end mirrors
Conventional handlebar end mirrors were originally designed for motorbikes and are not necessarily suitable for mounting on Vespa handlebars. German scooter specialist SIP Scootershop's new Vespa- specific handlebar end mirrors "are a considerable improvement over universals, even those that have scooter-fit adapters," says Scootershop CEO and co-founder Ralf Jodl.
"With these SIP Series Pordoi handlebar end mirrors, we provide you with mirrors that are perfectly suited for use on the modern Vespa.
"Design advantages of our new E-approved Vespa-specific bar end mirrors include their stability and precise fit, the much lower vibration and the choice of colours".
The individual components - such as the mirror head and mirror arm - are CNC-milled from aluminium and then anodised or chrome-plated. The mirror head is individually adjustable via the ball joint. The additional screw for fastening the mirror to the handlebar end weight may be a simple addition, but it gives the handlebar end mirror an extremely stable hold - twisting while riding becomes almost impossible.
Due to the solid mirror arm, less vibration from the vehicle is transmitted to the mirror - "a good view to the rear is possible even at higher speeds," said Ralf.
"For legal operation in road traffic, the E-approval mark on the mirror is virtually mandatory. The requirements differ depending on the year of manufacture/vehicle class etc., but to be on the safe side, our handlebar end mirrors have the E-number as standard."
