Hi,

I'm looking for the right luggage rack for my Vespa 50 Special (V5A2T) German model. Next to the taillight on my Vespa, there are two holes where a luggage rack would have been mounted.

Does somebody know which luggage rack was mounted there?

Regards, Diego

Indicator light holders?

Can't remember if it's in that position or on the side.

No, those are on the side. Multiple people told me those are mounting points for a luggage carrier. Even SIP-scooters told me, but this luggage carrier isn't made anymore so I have to look for a second hand one.

But it's hard to find one, if I don't know what I'm looking for

Make your own…

But you need a reference to follow…

Looks like someone drilled their own holes to fit a rack
Most rear racks I've found land outside from there.

This is an "ET3" rack on ebay. Looks more like a PK rack with those two holes on the bracket. Maybe you could make it work with a drill, if you're able to confirm the distance between those bracket landings

The SIP rack bolts to the licence plate holder holes, if you're not overly concerned with covering those old holes. There are several other options as well.

I think I found it, it might even be my Vespa, but not sure:): 'Bello Giallo', my little yellow Vespino (Sold - Nov. 2019)
