Modern Vespa

There's no law that you have to use either the tractor light or the euro light. You could always go with something completely custom (depending upon what you're ultimate plan is for your build). The 2005 PX150 came with a euro style taillight. I'm not a huge fan of the style, but i'm not opposed to it either. What i do like about the tractor light is that it makes a P series look more vintage. I especially like that the mounting bracket can be painted, so it aesthetically follows the form of the rest of the body. I've also installed aftermarket flush mount taillights on some of my P's. Another one of my P's has a series 3 Lammy taillight mounted, and i think i like that one the best. There's just so many options depending upon how you want your finished project to look like.

Man oh man! That one slipped my mind. I do want the taillight to be led like my headlight. Wow, got more searching to do! I'll shelve the tractor and start lookin.

Here's the beast that's going in the front, I already have the mounting bracket. It is BAF and is very shallow so leaves plenty of space in the headset. It lights up all the reflective street signs too.

+1 Euro light!

My P has blinkers deleted and euro light. Makes a nice clean streamlined look. The tractor light looks good with blinkers for the US spec look. It would look out of place without blinkers IMHO.

So are you are welding the leggy holes closed? And if you are going blinkerless, I think simpler, smoother Euro taillight works best, but get an older style IMO.

not this:

Definitely patching up the leggy holes and the cowl holes!

Or a Smallie taillight. Those are low profile!

Euro 50 Special if you want minimal. Needs mods though for a brake bulb since Specials didn't have one…

Friend's PX…

I was hesitating on installing a tractor taillight on my blinkerless '77 P2 a few years back. Took some pics to try to make up my mind.

My 125 Super came w/ a precious 'tuna can' lite that I didn't care for so I used a PK taillight that is similar to early Euro Ps but smaller.

That's a huge difference! The tractor really sticks out the back.

Thanks for that shot. I was wondering about the curved surface and that rubber gasket takes care of the problem, especially with the seam.

You should be fine, I wasn't positive so I pried back plastic lens guard and took a look. Mine is marked Veralux and has a black rubber base, not sure some bases aren't plastic.

V50 tail light

Veralux is the Catalux I was mentioning earlier. It's the outlier in the Italian oem indicator world in that there are far fewer of them around than the ubiquitous siem and triom.

Regarding the PK version on a P series though, imo it looks bizarrely small. It might not distract as much with the blinkers deleted, but there's still quite a difference in size.

Stock-ish look, for the overall build; I'd go with euro light. They look very streamlined, if not a bit on the big side.
It fits the aesthetic of a P-series.

Custom look, the V50 is a favorite.

Voodoo's idea for a PK light, or ET3 light; is a good one too. Like a euro P light, but smaller. I debated on this option for my P, but the mounting holes are different than my euro light, and I didn't want to drill more holes.

I stumbled across these two while my head is swimming with different taillights. These ones are a little less bulky then the stock version. Wish I could see both sizes side by side.

I decided on fitting one of those PK lights a little while ago... just gives it a little bit more streamlined look but still vespa, looks like it was made for it!!

The PX light is definitely more bulky (dare I say boxy) than the old PX light. It's the light fitted to 2nd gen Ps, aka EFLs in the UK, Lusso in Germany, arcobaleno in Italy and France.



The PK one looks like this on a PX:



Just get one of these and call it a day:

Thanks, I like it! I suppose the line on the side is from the stock light? That gives me a good size comparison.

yeah, a bit slimmer and flatter. looks the biz

The PX job does look big and I was worried the PK light would be too small!😆 I do like the old school lights but my paint job will be too modern looking.

Let me know if you want to pull a mold so you can make a carbon Mickey Mouse

a bit late to the colour but here´s my daily:

I vote for #1 coz it looks more like older original P taillites, but you do YOU!

Nice color and original Suzuki wagonR+ is awesome, family has one in Greece and you can haul so much while you get amazing 1000cc economy.

My appologies for highjacking the thread but moved/moving house this month with all but óne large cupboard in Esmeralda.
I have medium size crates for my books and in my ex´s twice as large SUV fit less than half as many
Next is measuring if a 9" wheel small frame might fit

I don't think you'll have any problem getting your scoot in the van!

It´s a mícro van and it´s 200 kms away. Best measure twice, fit once

I'm really liking this light. It is a little bigger that I thought but fits the backend well.

I also found this fork link cover. Nice piece of aluminum. I have a special paint scheme lined up for it.

I réally like the satin finish aluminium of the cover actually.

They sell them in different colors too.
