Sorry if this is a stupid question or has been covered elsewhere - but it has to do with WHICH different modern Vespa models the OEM Crash bars will fit.
THE FACTS: I have a set of OEM crash bars which I mounted with no problems (perfect fit) on my 2007 GTV (a 250ie engine). But I've decided I no longer want them. A fellow Vespisti - who has a 2019 GTS (a 300 engine) - is interested in them.
MY QUESTION: will they fit his 2019 GTS just as (perfectly) as they fit my 2007 GTS?

I know wiser minds (with more functioning neurons than mine) know the answer to my question. What is it, please?

If they are the Piaggio OEM crash bars you should be fine. Here's Scooterwest's product page that shows compatibility

Hope the install goes well. I’m getting ready to install these on my own GTS. I bought used crash bars and replaced all the bolts/nuts/washers with new metric stainless parts from local hardware store (old ones were in bad shape). I’m following a tip from Robot regarding adding some washers under the seat latch too:
