New member saying hello.
Having owned a Vespa gts 300 in 2010 and recently talking my sister into purchasing one, I've gotten the bug and purchased one myself.
I was looking for another black one like my original however after a few wasted journeys decided to opt for touring in my least fav colour.
I think the price and spec swayed me.
Now I've never been a fan of the brown personally but the bike was priced well and came with loads of extras such as crash bars, top case, akrapovic exhaust and even a spare single seat, It had 3700 miles on the clock and one owner from new.
I spent the next few months stripping the bike and selling all the items I didn't want to fund the remodelling, even managed to coax my 16 year old son into helping, no mean feat.
Mods
De badged
De chrome
Classic rack
Powder coated grab rail, bar ends, break leavers, and pillion pegs
Super sticker kit
Tinted indicators
Notte mirrors black
Volt meter
New badges
Black leg shield trim (fav mod)
Powder coated wheels (nightmare)
Currently waiting for delivery of a tinted rear light which should complete the cosmetics.
I'm very pleased with how the bike has turned out, love the colour now. The items sold more than covered the remodel costs which helps.
I've been a lurker on here for a while to be honest , it's a wealth of information, non so more than when it came to the wheel balancer sold on here by Marc P. Wonderful bit of kit and sorted my issues out after powder coating.
Hope I ain't bored you to much
Apologies for the poor grammar, very embarrassing.
Hopefully you will see some pictures underneath.
All the best Paul
