Hi all. I have a 2000 disk px and after a long motorway ride, I think I need mirrors. I want to use the holes on the headset top. so what do you recommend? Want something sporty, not long stem standard ones. Thanks

I had the standard mirrors on mine from new for almost 10 years. I had to take them off to get it back into the works van not too long ago (went everywhere on the dam thing), and I don't really miss them! As for sporty looking mirrors, personally none look sporty to me, but I guess a clip on mirror on the edge of the front fairing (near butty box) would look sporty?? Do they do Vespa bullet mirrors??

The clip on mirror won't work for me, as I use panniers when going to rallies, and they will obstruct

OK still looking at mirrors. looked at all available at Kettering today and still none the wiser, do any of you use bar end mirrors? Will they work on a px ? Only after fitting to the right hand side. Thanks Adrian

Bugger, was it Kettering parts fair today?? Goddammit.... Never considered bar end ones, the standard mirrors only clamp onto the stem, what about just replacing the mirror instead?

I'm looking for a left and right mirror too, I want short/ish sporty ones to go on a Utah screen, I notice Armando's has some for their screen's at £60 a pair!!!!, but having sold a spare Utah screen complete with similar mirrors a few months ago, to my mate, I know the Armando ones are too short and you have to move your elbows in every time you want to see behind you, so I'm open to suggestions too, that will fit my screen.
I have a few sites saved on my ipad and will look to see if any will fit your headset top, Adrian.

On a different note I use to have a vinyl LP called mirrors by Blue Oyster Cult!
Back to the main topic, I use a legshield clamp mirror as i looks ok and gives some rear observation, but i think the original "snail" mirrors were probably better to use but don`t look good. style over substance!
