Vespa Tire/Vespa Shocks/Vespa Fenders
Finding the appropriate tire parts for your Vespa is an important part of any refurbish or restoration. From vintage scooters to the more modern, post turn of the century models, enhancing performance and handling is simple with the right parts.
Official Vespa parts should be carefully matched to the model and year; many parts are interchangeable across a wide range of models, but not all. Wrist pins usually have to be carefully matched, and a special tool is required to safely remove and replace Vespa pins without causing damage to the piston. Special tools used to remove wristpin and flywheel can be obtained from a Vespa parts supplier, and make the job quick and easy for any restorer.
Vespa Shocks
A variety of shocks can be installed to improve the comfort of your ride - you can obtain performance Vespa shocks for a modern scooter that will significantly improve the quality of ride over rougher roads. Adjustable front a rear shocks give you flexibility, and vintage stock shocks are available for older models if you want to retain authenticity.
Vespa Tires
Tires can be selected in accordance with the model and year of the scooter, and further narrowed down by the intended terrain the scooter will be driven on. Some models have a difference in size between the front tire and the rear, while other have matching wheel sizes. Vespa tires vary in width and tread and can be plain black or white-wall. Rims range from stripped down to flashy.
Vespa Fenders
Vespa fenders can be painted or chrome, depending on the model and color - you can replace an original painted component with chrome on some models if desired. Fender trim and other accessories can be bolted on if needed to complete the look.
As with all Vespa parts and accessories, safety is the prime consideration followed closely by performance and looks. By using authentic Vespa replacement parts on your scooter, you ensure that your scooter will meet expectations on all three counts. Once you are street legal and dressed out to the max, you will be ready to hit the road on your Vespa in style.
