I costed me about 1300GBP

Cheers, Joze

Great Looking Job.

I'm starting a rebuild of a PK125 I've had in bits for a couple of years. Bodywork was in good condition and was blasted and painted a while back. Problem is it's so long since I dismantled it I've forgotten where half the bits fit back on! Think I'll be spending a fair bit of time on this site asking questions.

Did you manage to get the spare wheel holder as I need to find one too?

Chris.

Here is my project i did this year, unfortunatly i didnt take any pics but i do have some of the finished piece.

Still waiting for some parts...

2x chrome wheel rims
stainless steel flywheel cover
Rear PX flat rack (will adapt it to fit)
Chrome toolbox lock
whip aerial - white
flag for aerial
clear indicator lense
sprint rear light (so i can fit my rear rack, pk one takes up too much room, unless i move my plate down and then move the light down)
chrome headlamp grill
Blue tint for flyscreen
blue PK sticker for flyscreen

think that is about it but i am sure i will buy more haha

Sorry for the poor picture quality

the bike was the original red colour, but i prefer 2 tone white and purple

Sweet re-do Jozzze.

I have a 125 Automatica which i believe to be the only one in the Southern hemisphere. if anyone can contradict that then let's hear from you. Spares are difficult, some from SIP and i've just bought an entire engine from Ebay Italy. Tell me more about other experiences. Bryan G.

I would like to restore it as well as you did. The original color is red, but I sent it to be piant they didn't do a great job unfortunately, now because I couldn't use it for a while it didn't want to start no more, so I took it to the shop again for them to fix that they told me that now I had to push it or something in order for it to start the engine, well thats not the only problem, all the needed parts are not easy to find, and this is what I wanted to ask you where did you get the tail light? or the head light and the wireing and everything that has to do with electricity.? If you can write me back I would appreciate it a lot : ) thank you.

You've done a great job !

Well done

Jozzze! What a wonderful work there! COngratulations!

Amazing and well detailed workmanship. Be proud of yourself

Hi bud are these your final pictures looks wicked Are you bothering with the legshield beading ?

very good job! I hope I will do the same on my PK 125

Hi where did you get the old style horn cast?

Can some one let me know a product number or a link to the seat i need for a late PK 125 xl, and if i can get the plastic cowling that goes on the back of the frame??

This would be one...http://www.scooter-center.com/scoweb/pages/productdetail.grid?product=288621642818080&target=productdetail&category1=C&category2=CAT

What plastic cowling are you looking for?

Its a plastic part screwed onto the head light part of the frame??
it accomodates the head light and the number plate??

in response to the original post, the lambretta horncast grill wont fit without extensive modification. its too long and the each frame's respective bend is different, so a lammy is bent out too far.

Hi,

i'm looking for the same fender and horncast for a pk125s project.

Where do you buy them? Are they fit for pk? or need modification?

thanks

Fender is from model V50, you should adjust holes to fit the fender to fork.

I bought the horncast here http://www.pimp-your-vespa.de/products.htm

Hi, nice project that vespa came out pretty good jozze.

i have a pk xl2 and i like to know if i can change my steering wheel For a steering wheel of a Pk, just like yours jozze. if so where i can buy it.

thanks

Hi all!
Firstly, i found the blue PK50 earlier on google when looking if anyone else had put a old horn casting onto the PK... and loved your result! Any advice on how to get it!? Also, congratulations on such a great job, the paint work looks amazing!

So, i was kindly donated a PK frame with tool box that had already been adapted to take a Large frame engine. After having a moded up PX, i thought i'd use the chance to own a street racer type scooter with all the smooth looks but whilst keeping the frame as standard as possible looking. Just wondering what forks you used? I was looking at Vespa PK50 ones (as the frame is the same as yours) but they say they have to have a V50 mud guard like you appear to have, just wondering if this was the case for you?

Also, any recommendations you picked up whilst building yours?
Thanks!
Matt.

I think you can, but I'm not sure...you should check if your XL2 has the same steering column as mine has. If it is the same, then it is 100% doable.

I answered the first question a couple of times...

I used standard steering column with V50 mudguard (modified fitting holes).

Niiiice!
