Hi Guzzistas,
Finally i made my mind about which mirror I want to use.
As i mentioned before I was planning to buy Rizoma Bar End mirrors. But then i changed my mind to original MotoGuzzi bar-ends.
These are good looking and they don't need extra handle bar caps. So İ went to it.
But I hated silicon oem grips since I got the bike and bought a pair of Rizoma Urlo grips.
They are really nice. And it comes with 3 different color ring options. Red, Gold and Black. The frame of bike is red so i installed red rings to the grips.
I think the bike looks more good after replacing those awfull black plastic mirrors and grips.
What do you think ?

These are the mirrors :

and the grips:

The mirrors are ok. I'm on the fence about them...they still seem a bit antenna-y. Honestly the Rizomas would've most likely looked better. I have Rizomas on mine, not bar-ends though. They are expensive, but if you're willing to spend the $$$, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Emir, nice mods.
I got the same mirrors, but I am having difficulties installing them. The bolts that came with the mirrors seem a bit long. But you had no problems installing them? They were plug and play? No Issues with tightening them?

Could you even do me the favor to measure the bolts that came with the mirrors? Just to check I got the same ones?

Best regards

rizomas are great products i agree with that and rizoma class retro mirrors are really cool and i liked them very much. But these guzzi brand mirrors are approximately same price with rizomas so i went through with these.

Hi, you are right. The bolts are long. In the shop while installing we realised this and my mechanic had to cut the bolts approximately 1.5 cm. And then we could installed the mirrors. I can't understand why this is not plug and play ?

Hi,
ok, that's good news. I'll perform the same mods to my bolts and bolt on the mirrors. And yes, very strange that these does not fit from the shop, as they are OEM. But hey, once they are mounted, the will look great.

Best regards

sure they look great and also the back view is very successfull. i can say bar end mirrors are better than the regulars. you see the back and not your shoulders. And the angle of mirrors are tightened with bolts so when you park somewhere nobody can change the angles so you dont have to adjust it everytime you ride. good protection for curius kids :)
