Modern Vespa

For the Vespa GTS is finally also a rear hight reducer kit available. For the Vespa Primavera / Sprint there is already a little longer.

For the Vespa GTS, the height reducer kit should bring about 2cm reduction (0,78 inch) in seat height, so that rider comes better with the feet on the ground.

Attention: only in compatible with series shock absorbers and series exhaust.

That price though

I paid 600€ a few months ago for a modified seat (including matching Topcase backrest) so that my daughter could better get her feet on the ground after she has flipped over the Vespa when she pushed the Vespa backwards while she was sitting on it (2000€ damage).

If I could have escaped with 150€, it would have been a bargain ...

Seriously, a large part of the price will be due to the certifications (ABE) required in Europe (and especially Germany), otherwise it would not be allowed to be used on the roads here.

Don't forget to adjust the headlight after installing this.

Here's what no rear shocks looks like. The motor ends up touching the gas tank, and exhaust hits the side, and I'm pretty sure the pet carrier wouldn't fit either.

I don't like how this part isn't keyed to stay straight. If it got loose it would rotate.
