Modern Vespa

Nuthin' like a custom color.

Love my new scoot. I'd never been on a scooter until two weeks ago and now I just love it. I'd always been the on the back of my husbands Harley but never in the drivers seat.

That's not a custom color, that's the new color for 2012. Damn, it's sexy. More pics please!

where i can get rear carrier like yours?

Here's my new 2009 S 150, just to keep the thread alive.

Fabulous. Almost as fabulous as a Vespa S in white

Here is my 2012 S150 Titanium at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Only add on's so far are the black kickstand (which you cant see in this pic) and a black powdercoated top case rack with Titanium top case.

Love it!

Evstaxi, I love that color, and that beach... I live in Chicago now, but grew up on Vista... spent many a day and night at Moonlight... Damn I need to come Home! Scoot looks brautiful, I like Titanium quite a bit... get in "the green room" for me
Cheers

many pleasure S design makes me wanna....

I've had my S around a month now and finally found a gap to go take some shots.
So here she is. Lucia.

Nuthin' like a black S tree

From one of the best trips I ever had!

Hi marlboro, unfortunately mine came with the scoot when I bought it, it was fitted by the dealer, Metropolis Motorcycles in London.

I'm sure some kind soul can point you in the right direction though...

@ colemillerkills I stand corrected where did you get that smoke flyscreen ?
I haven't seen them on any scooter site and been lokking for them. Nice S50 BTW.

Found one on eBay from a reputable seller I'd done prior business with

Hi,

I have a Vespa S, and when I bought it I made them put all the add-ons and carriers on it. Now I feel like changing some of them, maybe remove the front carrier... But there's a problem: what do I do with the 4 holes they had to drill on the front chasis to put the carrier? What could I use to cover them? Any ideas?

Reflector removal plugs might do the trick. Don't know about color selection.

If you want it to look the way it did stock, the easiest thing would be to order a brand new horn cover from your Vespa dealer and just replace it.

Woah eyegasm.

My Vespa S 150ie

@ the beach

anyone know if you can access the clock to change the battery by removing the chrome gauge bezel?

Had her 2 rainy days, spending too much time online looking at modifications & not enough time riding!

No idea, and it might end up disconnecting the speedometer cable if you tried. Actually disassembling the headset cover isn't terribly difficult, just tedious.

I'm mostly working from memory here, so anyone who's done it more recently, or who knows where to find a good pictorial or video, please hop in and let me know if I missed anything:

On the LXS bikes:
1. Remove the horn cover:
a. Pry Vespa badge on horn cover (center panel of front apron) up with a flat-head screwdriver in the slot on its right side (as you face it). Use a rag or something under the screwdriver to protect the paint.
b. Remove the screw that was under the badge.
c. Remove the screw at the bottom of the horn grille.
d. Remove horn cover

2. Remove the mirrors:
a. Slide the rubber grommets at the base of the mirror stalks up.
b. Use the correct size wrench to unscrew the mirror stem lock nuts.
Note: you may end up unscrewing the mirror stem retainers in the process. If so, disassemble them from the mirror stems by loosening the lock nuts.
c. Slide mirror stems out of the retainers.

3. Remove top of headset cover:
a. Under headlight, remove the left-most (as you face the headlight) screw. Note: the other, "headless" screw is the headlight adjuster. Also note that you cannot access this screw until you remove the horn cover.
b. Remove screws under left and right ends of headset cover (visible from behind/below the headset cover).
c. Carefully disengage tabs at either end of headset cover (just inboard of the handgrips) that lock the top to the bottom. Very carefully.
d. Carefully separate upper headset cover from lower headset cover. Be especially careful with the wires and speedometer cable.

4. Assembly is reverse of disassembly.

Oh, and because this digression will not stand, man... my bike (from Los Angeles Scooter Tag, a month and a half ago):

Hey people. I haven't posted for ever, so here's my scooter as of now. I got new white wall tires from Shinko this time. They have a hell of a lot more grip and class. Bitchin' ain't it?

Very nice view!

I have plan to use some of the white wall tires, but still confuse to choose several brands that exist.

Some people said that Schwalbe is not that good in grip and handling, and quite slippery when facing wet road, and others said that Shinko is poor in quality. Wht about SAVA? any opinion?

Great to see you back scnooby! Jealous of all that Faco chrome & whitewalls. Exactly what I want to do along w/possibly powdercoating my wheels red.
