Modern Vespa

When you turn of left or right THE blinker wil work.. ITS Nice but i can not load a video modernvesoa

I thought you had replaced the indicators with the daylight lights. I had visions of you fitting external indicators on the front, lol.
I have bought two white led's for my front indicators. They are only 3mm and will be fitted the same as the rear ones. Drill a small 3mm hole, push the led's in and tape over them with aluminum tape, then wire up to side light / dipped headlight.
I have bought two spot lights off ebay for £7. I hope they are good ones. They are 2.5" black and led lights (white). Not sure where I will fit them yet.

These are what I have bought.

Update et4 125 to sprint 2015
-Front headspoiler
-Sprint 2013 claxon grille
-Sprint 2015 wheels
-daylight led included turn signals handmade

Looks smart. well done

I build orginal blinker with led strips and turn signals

Good video. I like how they cancel out when the indicator is on.

Because its from car

Update of the lights on my Vespa. I put the front rack back on and fitted the lights to the sides. They come on when the headlight comes on. I am thinking of fitting some spot lights to come on when main beam is on.

Lights on.

Pretty happy with the outcome of my ET4 after a little restoration 😃

I did the 10 year service on my ET4, pictures were in order

Just bought this pre leader 125 as a lil project ....

It's coming along nicely with a scrub up and full service

Newbie to this forum and the Vespa family - purchased this as a basket case and put together for a a challange - running great and mostly back together after a couple of weeks in the garage wrenching on it.

Welcome to the Forum

To install the luggage carrier:

Lift up the seat
Remove pet carrier
Remove gas cap
Remove the rear cover #14 http://www.scooterwest.com/items/?_pageCCS=t#page=/items/Seat-Storage-Bucket/850
Mount the luggage carrier with hardware
The luggage carrier mounts under the rear cover (will be obvious once cover is removed)
One of the screws that is holding down the rear cover is also used in attaching the luggage carrier


The plastic piece is just a cover that hides the hardware and allows the luggage carrier to lay flat

Good Luck

Awesome, thanks for that. What about actually attaching a top-case. Is there anything semi-permanent that attaches to the luggage mount? I plan on just using a duffel bag and bungee cords I think.

Something like this?

in case anyone's interested: winter coming up:

http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=54535

For sale $25: tucano urbano winter riding gear for a vespa et4. "TUCANO URBANO TERMOSCUD R151 - VESPA ET2 ET4", protects you from the elements, keeps your legs warm and rain free. $25.

The person who bought this bike in 2001 got very sick shortly after and only rode it for 568 miles. I bought it Sunday December 13, 2015 from the niece of the original buyer for $1200 cash.
So far I have put a battery in the clock and a Buzetti kickstand.
The gas gauge was going crazy..up down up down and slowly improved over the course of about a 50 mile ride sunday and seems to be ok now at 701 miles. a bottle of Gumout fuel system cleaner through the carb is making it start to run and idle better.

Welcome to the forum, that's a good looking ET Seat colour is pretty nice.

That scoot looks like new. Great buy. Would have been better to have removed all old fuel and just filled with fresh fuel and oil. Them engines will start after years of standing.

the gas light was on and the needle said empty, i put 2.4 gallons (holds 2.5 i am told) of 90 octane non-ethanol in it and a bottle of gumout. runs great now. I still need to change the oil though, there were 3 brand new oil filters under the seat

Thanks, the blue seat and blue knee pads and blue on the topcase match the blue hue you see when the light hits that pearlescent paint. Not my fave color combo but a basically brand new ET4 for $1200 i could not pass it up.

Any vespa clubs in Raleigh?

Nice purchase, I would change the brake fluid too 8)

great idea and why is the front brake pulsating so bad? i thought at first that the front tire had a flat spot after sitting for 10+ years but i dont feel anything in the frontend even at 65 mph ...until i hit the brake...warped rotor?

Sorry for hijacking this thread, I'll re-post in the appropriate section. Cheers!

Where can I find a rack like that.? Thanks!

Hello all!
Newbie to this forum and the Vespa family. I bought my vespa ET4 about six months ago for 400 euros. Vespa's body is not good, but motor is running great. I want re-paint body, but not immediately. For now i love to use my Vespa every day in the center of Rome

aw man, I miss mine!

I've loved looking through all the posts and pics of ETs. My first scooter was an ET4 125, back in 2001. They will always have a special place in my heart and here is the proof that they look as great now as when they were first launched nearly 20 years ago (and then they were the original retro shooter).

2001 Vespa et4

my et4, need to get a custom exhaust made up but its coming along nicely. might get some chrome covers too, haven't decided yet.
