I have a GTV300 ABS Sei Giorni and allmost blacked out everything except for the red front shock. Now iam looking online for A black version.
The zelioni looks nice but iam having dificulty finding A black one what will fit on the GTV. Does someone have (or knows) A black shock what will fit on this one?

For the price you pay for a black one. You can pay for postage x 2 to me here in Australia. I can paint it and send it back to you and youll still get change. Or find a local paint shop. 😁

I would sell the OEM red one that I am sure someone wants and buy the black one.

Almost every piece on a Vespa should be functional and have great design. You pay a premium for the brand and part of that is because it is a beautiful Italian scooter.

I thought the Biltibos look better than the OEM shocks. And not sure you are going to get anything much different.

Mosili front shock https://tinyurl.com/yxlcoy6p

YSS front shock https://tinyurl.com/y6n6z8k8

Biltibo Performance shock https://tinyurl.com/y3k83lw2
Could only find the Biltibo performance shock which looks better than the others IMHO.

So do I. That's why I have Bitubos on front and rear. Hell you don't even see the rear shocks.

Indeed BMG looks nice, if you try them, let us know. I have only tried Malossi RS24, however they are white.
