Just got it firing!
I was hoping to get some option for Bar end mirrors for a Stornello. Haven't fooled with Bikes much so i don't know how compatibility works on them. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bar Ends for Stornello

I'd like to do the same, looking at the Rizomo Reverse retros and the Rizomo Class retros, just not sure if the reverse retros would fit the bars. Also not sure how the bar ends work with them, I remove the stocks to measure the inner diameter of bars and there's an insert in place already there(?). What're you guys using?

Thanks, I saw that link earlier in this thread, so those will accept the Rizomo's?
The bar end mirror sliders will fit any bar end mirrors that clamp around a 22mm diameter bar end that fits in the clamp channel. The clamp channel width is about 10-12mm (just estimating, I haven't measured it but can if you'd like).
I already had a pair of the CRG bar end mirrors when I bought the V7III Racer, so these bar end mirror sliders are a perfect fit. I have never seen the two Rizoma mirror sets you're referring to so I can't say one way or the other for those. (I like to deal with CRG, however. They're local to me here in California, right over the hill in Santa Cruz from me, and their service/support has been exemplary.)

Rizoma bar end mirrors are different from the CNC Bar Ends CRG versions. You'll need the mirrors and flush end caps to work correctly.

Thank you Todd, I tried asking a question about the Rizomo's on this contact email for the store, but my email app says it's not an actual email address and rejects it? (Guzzitech.com) comes up as email - when you click contact us. Are you able to get/sell the Rizomo reverse retros and end caps, and would they work on a V7II (stornello) bar?
TIA
I didn’t think it would be too hard to understand that info at guzzitech.com is an email address. It’s listed like that because of Spam bots able to grab email addresses if the actual email is listed with an @ symbol.
I can’t catch an answer every inquiry here on the Forum, and I answered it already, but in short yes on all. Visit the Store. TIA.
Oh, okay got it. I've ordered some other things from you awhile back don't recall that about the email, great. I'll email you an order of the Rizomo etc.
So, doing more research I realized that the Stornello bar ends have bar plugs lodged inside that stick out proud of the bar tubes - once the stock bar ends are removed, none of the options mentioned here would work (unless I managed to wrestle the bar plugs/anchors out, and for all I know they're pressed into the bars since the bars have a factory/manufactured pinch mark at each end about 1.5" from the ends).
These plugs are in there quite tight, and have a threaded receiver for the stock bar ends.
Option 2: I bought these for 35$ from Amazon (full set) amazon.com/gp/product/B071S21FV8/
They're seriously not bad for the price, black anodized CNC billet parts, come with a ton of spacers too.
I simply moved the bar controls and levers (all) inward by around 1/4" and placed these right on the bar tube (with one largest spacer on each end). Tapped them flush with the bars via rubber mallet, put the stock bar ends back on and they look great.
For 35$ why not, they look like Rizomos from most distances, they're heavy and seemingly well (enough) made.
Thanks everyone for the advice, pics below.

That looks great for only $35!
Agreed, I'll use the saved 400plus bucks on some other goodies, just received my K&N filter and metal gas filter from this site, would like to get the retro valve covers and a center stand next.
