with E-registrationItalian design tradition meets modern sportiness. The right-hand bar end mirror of the Vespa Officina 8 is far more than a functional accessory. With its round mirror glass, delicately designed support arm and elegant matt black surface, it reflects the unmistakable character of the Officina 8 special edition models. A genuine Piaggio component that combines technical precision with classic Vespa aesthetics in a distinctive way.
The mirror with Piaggio original part number 1C008765 is the right-hand version of the genuine Officina 8 bar end mirror. It serves as a direct replacement for the original right-hand mirror and can also be used to customise other Vespa models with suitable handlebar end configurations.
The Vespa Officina 8 represents a special combination of Italian craftsmanship, technical functionality and contemporary design. Its styling recalls the experimental development work and workshop culture that gave rise to numerous technical innovations throughout the brand's history.
This design philosophy is also reflected in the right-hand bar end mirror. The elegantly curved mirror arm features an elongated cut-out that visibly emphasises its technical construction. The minimalist shape appears light and dynamic, while the matt black finish creates a sporty contrast with the Vespa's painted bodywork.
The rear of the round mirror housing features a subtly embossed Vespa logo. This refined branding detail highlights the premium quality of the genuine component and blends harmoniously into its understated design.
The mirror features a round reflective surface with a diameter of 95 mm. The compact mirror housing is finished with a slim black surround and has a gently curved rear section.
The mirror head and support arm are made from CNC-machined aluminium components. The precisely shaped contours and elongated cut-out in the support arm give the mirror its distinctive technical appearance.
Thanks to the articulated joint, the mirror head can be adjusted individually. Its position at the right-hand end of the handlebars provides an alternative rearward viewing perspective compared with conventional mirrors mounted above the handlebars.
The inscription "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" appears along the lower edge of the mirror glass. It indicates that objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear.
An E-mark is located on the rear of the mirror housing.
The right-hand bar end mirror is part of the original equipment of the Vespa Officina 8 models and is used particularly on the following vehicles:
Installation on other Vespa GTS, GTS Super, GTV, Sprint, Primavera and Elettrica models is also possible with a suitable handlebar end configuration. The decisive factors are the available mounting point and the correct installation components at the right-hand end of the handlebars.
The mirror is mounted at the right-hand end of the handlebars. Depending on the vehicle model, additional mounting screws, spacers or other installation components may be required. These are not automatically included with the individual mirror and may need to be ordered separately.
Particularly when converting other Vespa models, it is important to check whether the existing handlebar weights, threads and mounting components are suitable for installation. On the right-hand side of the vehicle, special attention must also be paid to ensuring that the throttle grip remains completely free to move after installation and automatically returns to its original position.
The mirror must be securely mounted and adjusted to ensure sufficient rearward visibility. Steering movement and the operation of all controls must not be restricted.
The matching genuine left-hand mirror has Piaggio part number 1C008764. The complete mirror pair for the left and right sides is listed under Piaggio original part number 1C008303.
With the right-hand Officina 8 bar end mirror, the Vespa gains a detail that is both functional and full of character. The combination of a matt black finish, clean lines and authentic Vespa design elements makes it an ideal choice for a faithful restoration or stylish customisation using genuine Piaggio components.
