Modern Vespa

I have tried searching for them a few days (not hard) - can anyone direct me to a site that has them. I want to run without my mirrors and use a leg shield mirror on my P and would like to find the plugs. Thx

i have a bag of about 50 of them. pm me your addres and i'll send you a set.

Awesome! I owe you one/will send PM. Thx

Chad, you don't have to lord your big bag of plugs over us all. We get it - you like plugs. Stop trying to make us plug-less folk feel inferior with your big bag of them.

was gonna say 30pence from car part shop but free is better

some bags are held for pleasure, and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for not-so-modern, they're the bags that i like best.

okay, everybody that pm'd me, they will go out tomorrow.

Funny, chad included a plug in my last package from him. Unfortunately I don't think it was for the mirror hole...

Got mine at Ace Hardware. They were avail. in Black or white Plastic. Or some nice Polished Aluminum. 50-85 cents. I agree Free is nicer. No BP Please!

I PM Chad yesterday so hopefully I'm included in the mix of folks he can send out the plugs he has available, if not smileytime can you share the specs of the plugs you picked up at Ace Hardware so I know what works and what to get there.

Thanks,

But P's don't have mirror holes to plug! a PX on the other hand...

They are 3/4 inch hole plugs, I believe these were intended for furniture. I opted for the black plastic as I was not intending on painting them. Note I also saw some nice looking rubber ones that are called sheet metal plugs and are also black. You will see other choices I am sure if you search "3/4 inch hole plugs". I would go for the metal ones if I was going to paint to match. I know this is not much more info so I included a couple pics.

This is the EXACT same thing from some other website with a better pic.

those work, but the thing i don't like about them is they're hard plastic, not rubber. over time, they tend to warp and pop out, or they crack.

Thx again Chad - they came today and already fit one, as soon as I get a legshield mirror will fit the other! Owe ya cold one someday! -Geoff

Thanks Chad...came today and popped them in.

cool. that's 2 out of 5 that made it.

Been riding without a left mirror for over two years, now My right mirror broke off this morning. The bike steering is much lighter, I like it and looks way cooler now.

Going shoping for plugs now

Lowe's, Home Depot, or any hardware store will have the little finger plugs used on folding closet doors and such. They usually have them silver, gold, black, white, metal, plastic and they fit so perfectly, it's almost shocking.

check these out from sip. i have used them on both my px's. those germans don't mess around. great quality and they look good too. they come w/2 rubber gaskets for above and below the headset and a 2nd metal plate for under the headset. they screw down very securely on the headset with the 2 steel parts and 2 rubber gaskets sandwiched on each side of the headset. the whole unit is extremely well made. they have a nice heavy feel to them as well.

sip is great, but you'll need to order more stuff to reach a minimum order value for them to ship items to the US. play around on their site. i'm pretty sure you'll find plenty of cool and useful things for your px to add to your order.

ps it says they are out-of-stock on these right now, but will be getting more soon.

i'm pretty certain everyone who posts on not-so-modern has a set at this point.

Yeah, I saw you had a bag of 50. Nice that you can help out your fellow scooter kidz.
