FAQs
Will this kit fit all Vespa models?
It fits most Vespa handlebars with an internal diameter of 12-21 mm. Please measure your specific handlebar before purchase.
Does this kit include the mirrors?
No, this is a mounting adapter kit only. Mirrors must be purchased separately.
Can I use this for non-Highsider mirrors?
The kit is designed for Highsider mirrors, but it may be compatible with other mirrors that require a similar 12-21 mm expansion mounting system.
How do I ensure the mount doesn't vibrate loose?
Ensure the mounting bolt is properly tightened during installation. You may use a thread-locking compound on the bolt threads if desired.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
Yes, the materials are selected for durability and to resist common environmental conditions faced by scooters.
Troubleshooting
Mirror rotates or slips after installation
Ensure the internal sleeve is fully expanded by tightening the center bolt further; check that the handlebar inside is clean and free of oil or grease.
Adapter does not fit inside the handlebar
Verify that your handlebar internal diameter is at least 12 mm; remove any existing factory inserts or internal weights that may be obstructing the space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first verify your Vespa handlebar inner diameter falls within the 12-21 mm range. Insert the mounting adapter into the end of the handlebar, ensuring the expansion mechanism is clear of any internal obstructions. Tighten the central bolt to expand the internal sleeves until the assembly is firmly locked against the handlebar wall. Once installed, attach your bar end mirror to the mounting point according to the mirror's specific instructions. For care, periodically check the bolt tension every few thousand miles to account for thermal expansion and road vibration, and wipe with a soft cloth during routine scooter maintenance to prevent oxidation.
