Bar end mirror

Post by tempalte »

Does anyone know if you can install bar end mirrors on the Blur?

I was looking at the grips on the handle bars. At the end of the grips it looks like there is an alan nut that you can unscrew to take off the end cap. It turns out the alan nut is just rubber and for show. It looks like the end cap is just part of the rubber hand grip.

I went ahead and got the grip off. It looks like I could just cut off the end so there is an opening to install the mirror.

Anyone tried a bar end mirror? Do they help much?

No matter how I adjust the standard mirrors I can't see behind me.

You may have to tap the opening to get them to fit.

Here's some help from ModernVespa, where people have put Oberon and other bar-end mirrors on LXs, GTs and GTSs:
