Vintage Vespa Accessories
In North America, a vintage Vespa is generally considered to be anything manufactured before the ‘modern era’ which heralded the return of the Vespa to the States in 2001. Even a few of the original ‘Allstate’ Vespas marketed by Sears and many from the Gran Sport lines are still on the road today, and vintage Vespa accessories can be found to upgrade and enhance the looks of these vintage scooters.
Vespa Accessory/Vespa Scooter Accessories
The first Vespa accessory often looked for when modifying or upgrading a vintage Vespa is, surprisingly, the emblem appropriate to the era - for example, the late Sears models had a blue badge on the leg shield. Legshield mirrors that clamp to the leg shield are in demand. Later models sported a variety of windscreens, mirrors, headlamps and rear lights, all of which can be replaced or modified for a clean new look.
Turn signals weren’t part of the original Vespa accessory package, but were added later. Vespa scooter accessories such as baskets, front or rear racks, or even saddlebags can add storage space to your scooter. Mud-flaps, floor-mats, fender trim and cowl or bumper protectors all protect your Vespa from getting scratched or dinged.
The oringinal color for vintage Vespas was the a pale green, but they came in a myriad of colors from various blues to white, red, yellow, orange, and grey; the earliest models were available in the US only in that shade, and finding Vespa scooter accessories to match sometimes takes some searching. Most models can utilize bolt on chrome parts and maintain an authentic look. As a rule, Vespa has kept a certain amount of similarity between models of the same era, making accessories for nearly any scooter easy to replace.
If you have an older model scooter you are trying to refurbish, first work on making sure the engine is up to spec and the scooter is street legal. You can find vintage Vespa accessories to upgrade your engine and transmission to ensure the best performance possible.
