with E-registrationOriginal Vespa design down to the smallest detail. The left-hand bar end mirror of the Vespa Officina 8 combines the unmistakable design language of Italian scooters with a sporty, technically inspired appearance. Its round mirror glass, striking curved support arm and deep matt black finish make it a distinctive feature on the handlebars.
With Piaggio original part number 1C008764, this is the genuine left-hand mirror from the Officina 8 range. It is suitable as a replacement for a damaged or missing mirror and also offers the possibility of converting compatible Vespa models to the characteristic bar end mirror styling of the Officina 8.
The Vespa Officina 8 reflects the history and technical origins of the brand. Rather than relying on elaborate styling, its design focuses on clean shapes, visible construction details and carefully coordinated surfaces.
The genuine left-hand mirror consistently follows this philosophy. Its slim support arm forms an elegant curve and features an elongated cut-out that gives the component a light, almost sculptural appearance. The matt black surface emphasises its contours and complements the dark accessories found on modern Vespa models.
The rear of the round mirror housing is particularly distinctive. It features a subtly embossed Vespa logo. A small but unmistakable detail that highlights the genuine Piaggio origin of this component.
The mirror head features a round reflective surface with a diameter of 95 mm and a slim black surround. The gently curved housing creates a compact silhouette. The mirror head and support arm are made from CNC-machined aluminium components, giving the mirror its characteristic shape.
The joint between the mirror head and support arm allows the reflective surface to be adjusted individually. The mirror is mounted at the left-hand end of the handlebars, providing a different rearward viewing perspective compared with a conventional mirror mounted above the handlebars.
The inscription "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" follows the lower edge of the mirror glass. This warning indicates that objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. At the same time, the lettering is one of the distinctive visual details of this mirror design.
The genuine Piaggio bar end mirror features an E-mark on the rear of the mirror housing.
This mirror originates from the original Officina 8 equipment range and is used particularly on the following model series:
In addition, the mirror can also be used on other Vespa GTS, GTS Super, GTV, Sprint, Primavera and Elettrica models with suitable handlebar end configurations. A compatible mounting point at the left-hand end of the handlebars is required.
The mirror is designed for installation at the left-hand end of the handlebars. Depending on the vehicle model, additional mounting screws and spacers may be required. These are not automatically included with the individual mirror and may need to be ordered separately.
When converting other Vespa models, the existing handlebar weights, threads and required mounting components should be checked beforehand. After installation, the mirror must be securely fastened and adjusted to ensure sufficient rearward visibility. The freedom of movement of the handlebars and controls must not be restricted.
The matching genuine right-hand mirror has Piaggio part number 1C008765. The complete left-hand and right-hand mirror pair is listed under Piaggio original part number 1C008303.
Whether used as a genuine replacement part or as a stylish addition to a customised Vespa, this left-hand Officina 8 bar end mirror brings authentic Piaggio design to the handlebars. Its minimalist shape, precise technical details and matt black finish give the Vespa a distinctive character that combines tradition and modern sportiness in a particularly elegant way.
