Modern Vespa

Anybody run their center stand without the pain in the ass tension plates? Ya know, these little bastards that I can't find anywhere?

I had to swap my stand out and only have 1 of em. 😡

Also, bend up or down and rear hole or front?

Thanks guys and gals

So long as you don't mind your floorboard bending that much more and wearing over time, you could skip 'em, I guess.

it's easy to fab up a new one if you need it, though.

It is anti rattle as well as anti wear, so the bend goes towards the centerstand tube to keep it snug. You could just cut a copy out of a plastic bottle for your second one to eliminate metal on metal contact and you should be good.

ScooterMercato has them.
Pic makes it look like the back hole.

You guys are so awesome.
