I am looking for advice on two items for my Vespa LX150

I just bough some Prima luggage bags that rest across under the seat, and rest on the side, is there anything I can get to prevent rubbing and paint scratch/erosion?

Second thing -- I'm finding the throtte and brake handles a little thin and tiring after a while, anyone have any experience with any product that I can use to thicken them up a bit and make the grips a bit easier on longer rides?

Thanks all!

There is a clear film that you can apply to the sides of your scoot that will help prevent the saddlebags from scratching the paint. I don't know the brand(3M maybe?) but I know that it is available. There are foam grip covers that may help you with your second issue. Take care
