How to Install and Tighten a Mirror on a Modern Vespa

Don't let that loose flappin' mirror get you down. Grab a 17mm wrench and fix it up!

Thanks for the video and I like the dog! My mirror won’t screw back in, the thread looks ok on the mirror but is there a chance the housing it screws into has damaged thread? I can’t see how that would happen..

[@VespaPortland]

Yes, either set of threads can strip. Your local shop may be able to fix it or just sell you a new master cylinder. Good luck!

Greetings from Taiwan thx!

[@VespaPortland]

Hello and thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video. My Vespa's mirror needs an adjustment also. But the connection ballpoint on the top is very loose, how can we fix this?

[@VespaPortland]

Like the brake lever goes up and down as if the whole thing is rotating on the bar? Need to remove the handlebar covers and tighten the whole unit (master cylinder) up. Good luck.

@@VespaPortland I want to be sure of your response. There is no problem at the point where the bar connects to the handlebar. The problem is that the round cylinder connection point at the top of the bar where I move the mirror is loose.

I’m planning on using an after market side mirrors for my vespa because the one that came with it is very expensive to replace If I may ask Do you know the thread size for the side mirrors of modern vespa primavera 150?

[@VespaPortland]

Sorry for the delay. Don’t know the thread size.

[@bambamrubble12]

need to replace mirror but i have a windshield. do i have to remove the windshield to unscrew the mirror?

[@VespaPortland]

Very likely. See if the mirror hits the windshield as it spins off. If yes, that windshield needs to be removed first.

[@blaqueraye9012]

What is the name for the part that you screwed the mirror into? Half of my mirrow screw is broke off inside..I'm worried I won't to able to have a left mirror

[@VespaPortland]

The perch or master cylinder.

[@blaqueraye9012]

@@VespaPortland thank you

[@gove77]

@@VespaPortland What the other commenter forgot to ask you is, how hard is it to access the perch to get the other half of the broken threads out? Lol. I don’t think I’m the first person this happened to.

[@akarsuerba]

@@gove77mr screw is also broken. What did you do? I think after taking off other half of it welding can works fine too, what do you think?

[@SiriLimsiriwong]

how to remove for the first time, thanks

[@VespaPortland]

How to remove the mirror? 17mm wrench. Hold the mirror with one hand and turn the wrench with the other.
