Modding

Just recently got a shipment of parts from SIP for various scooters, including some goodies for the PX.

Quick fix: Changing the rubber on the side panels...

Started changing the indicators to "clear" optics, but managed to break both front glasses during installation.
The clear optics set is definitely lower quality that the original parts, and after some research I found the problem: 

 
Basically, you will have to drill new holes due to difference in alignment of bolts. Not an option for me.

I ended up just changing the bulbs to silver bulbs, taking away the "eggyolk" effect. 

Reinstalled the original indicators with new bulbs.Yes, they work.

A set of SIP polished tubeless have also been prepared for the PX. To be mounted.

  1. Hey man, I am thinking about purchasing a PX200E 1982 Vespa soon. Do you know of any good websites for add ons or replacement parts?
