Well, here goes; I'm new to the world of Vespas and have lots of questions, though I won't hit everyone with all of them at once.
First, is my Vespa a Large frame or a Small frame? ('62 VNB 125CC)
Second, will side cowlings from a '64 allstate VBB fit my scooter? Thanks in advance.

Large frame scooter. The Allstate cowls should fit with no problem.

+1

But there is no allstate VBB It's either a Allstate or a VBB.


For example the 64 Allstate is basically the same as a 64 VNB.

Thanks for the response, I was worried I might have screwed up buying the Allstate cowls. I just needed the engine cowl, as mine looks like it has been dumped, crushed, and hammered out several times. I wound up getting a pair including the lock, which I needed anyway.

Those cowls are readily available... they probably made a million of the VBB / VNB / Allstate body style.

And the indians continued to press them out when the italians stopped.
