Modern Vespa

For my GT 200:

> Vespa GT topcase
> Velcro to mount garage door clicker atop leg shield
> Mid-size windscreen
> Front fender chrome bumper
> Little plastic plugs to fill the reflector holes in front fender
> Rear crash bars
> Crampbuster throttle lever
> Beeper wired into turn signals so I remember to turn the damn things off
> Moto Amore brass exhaust bushing
> Heidenau K61s
> Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit lock
> V3SPA license plate
> Lots of tools: Snowflakes, variator tool, sockets, 23mm wrench for oil drain, etc,
> Sears motorcycle lift

Put a Wolo Badboy in the LX150, which is deafening. I haven't used it in anger, yet, but I gotta get an airhorn for the GT, too.

GT200 - Bought it used (651 miles) already came with a Vespa top box.

But it's midnight after eight hours at work, and I just hit the submit button for the following:
- Vespa GTS Mod Style Flyscreen Piaggio SMOKE
- GT200 Rally Decal Set BLACK Refllective
- Scoot Magazine (10) Random Back Issues
- Vespa/MOD Target Key Chain
- Mod Target Sticker Reflective 2.5 inches
- Vespa GT200 1:12 Scale Toy GRAY

* Gonna try to mount some inexpensive bar-end mirrors (wannabe CRG's) on the chrome bar ends.
* Considering taping off the rails on my floor board and spraying truck-bed liner between them. I think the wrinkle black will provide nice contrast & texture.
* I may be adding fender trim from a GTS to the front
* I want quality protective trim for the rear cowls
* Actually thought about a mud flap.....
* LOVE the 70's "VESPA" name badge 'ericalm' put on his baby blue!
* And when I get really really rich, I sure would like a Leo Vince with all the mapping, intake, jetting, etc.!!!
* I presume the OEM suspension is good for about 8,000 miles..... I'll look into an inexpensive alternative sans the designer-name price tag.

(dammit, just realized that I must not have hit my request for reflective checkerboard tape for a helmet...! I've already got several helmets, but now I need a full-face Ghost Grey to make retro with some reflective checkerboard tape down the middle.... maybe a reflective MOD target decal on one side. )

in order:

had the dealer swap the stock sand coloured seat for a black one prior to delivery

fitted a vespa brand fly screen

upgraded the savas to michelin pilot sports

swapped the stock pipe for a pm tuning pipe

swapped the pm pipe for a leo vince

added anodised dipsticks from jettin

fitted a powerbooster module but later got rid of it

had a bitubo front shock fitted

added a power outlet from motorsport scooters

added gts reflective rally stripes from motorsport scooters

done.

I didn't know you could put a GT200 seat on a GTS 250,
Got any pictures of it installed?

I'd love to get a flatter seat on my GTS 250

I put a serviceable and as complete as possible tool kit in all of my bikes including my new Vespa 300S. In this case it's a modified CruzTools kit with the addition of a small roll of duct tape and some zip ties. It fits beautifully in the front glove compartment. The scoot also has an aftermarket 13" mid-height windscreen and a set of Grip Puppies. If you've got long fingers as I do, you'll want to check them out: http://www.casporttouring.com/cst/motorcycle/GRIPPUP/GPSMALL.html. Over the years I have put Grip Puppies on almost all of the bikes in my stable. I'll be putting on a Vespa rack and top case when it arrives from Vespa Eastside next week.

An MGS 150/70-14 on the rear in addition to everything else in my sig.

I just dropped the seat off at the upholsterers - is that an 'addition'?

Rear Rack
Headlight Modulator
Tail Light Flasher
Ram Mount for GPS
Mat (would have skipped this knowing what I know now)

That's it and I'm good to go.

Cuppini Mid size fly screen
Stebel Horn
Vespa GTS Top case
Vespa Crash bars
Chrome Vespa wings around vespa shield
Reflective Stripes on legshield and cowls
Ram GPS mount.

Edited for last mod (I swear that's it!) This past weekend was finally nice enough to work outside on my scooter, and with the help of scooter friends I installed the rear crash bars.

Fixed that url for you.

BTW Dave this was the best mod I made. IMO the GT seat is more comfortable than the Corbin I bought. Corbin was not custom so sliding back on the seat put me on a hump like the oem. I hated the GTS seat and it mading riding miserable from day one. Best part was finding a sea for $100USD!!! If price is important patience will pay off! If not I often see dealers selling off NOS for $199 or so.

Tom

Wow!!!
That seat looks really nice. Nice GTS!!!

I've seen those seats in black for $199. us$ new,
But that brown looks really nice with the red.

I don't like the GTS seat either, It hurts my butt on long rides.
Always loved the feel of the GT seat.

Cheers!

Dave

Thanks!

Not much...

A flyscreen
RAM GPS mount
SX Saddlebags
Roncato Topcase
Cup Holder
Misc, & Sundry Stickers
12V power socket
and my Timex Expedition wristwatch wrapped around the Barbie Mirror stem...a lot more reliable than the clock. 8)

Well, none of my additions are this fancy, bit I did replace the hard hand grips with some nice soft mushy ones, feels a lot better, because this scooter vibrates a lot.
I added some floorboard covers, which I think really added to the look, instead of looking down at that darn ugly black plastic.
Even if it's not a Vespa, there are still a few things I can do to make it nicer.

GTV:
Leo Vinci pipe
GT60 seat
Stebel Horn
devil girl chrome sticker
passenger backrest
S/X Appeal roll bag
Chromed brake levers


Stella:
rear flat rack
sito pipe
PX200 engine.
PX mirrors




hmm...maybe I'm not as stock as I thought...

Completed to date:
New Leather Saddle
Vespa 42L Top Case
HID Kit
All bulbs are now LEDs except for HID Headlamp
Vespa/Piaggio Alarm
Chrome Headlight Lid
Modified Running lights into front indicators
Brown Knee Pads with Accessory Outlet

Mods to be done this week:
Side Stand
Entourage Escort CIS
Brake Light Modulator
Kisan Turn Signal Cancellation

Mods yet to do, waiting for parts to be delivered:
Bar End Flashers
Crash Bars (Front fender, leg shield, rear cowlings)
Medium Wind Screen
Brown Hand Grips to match leather seat
Chrome Rearview mirrors

On my ET4 125:
Sito Exhaust (came with bike)
Full flyscreen (secondhand for £16 of ebay)
Oil Filter
24L Petrol (aprox)
new indicator after last one shattered in a ascendent.
oh and a nasty scrape down the side (unwanted but most london vespas have this 'modification')


Things id like to get:
Euro Light
Crash Bars
LX Seat (was about to get one but the seller didn't respond to arrange a time)
LED turn signals

Like Louisq, I have fitted a GT200 seat to my Vintage Red GTS. But I fitted the GT rack as well because I think it does a buch better job of supporting a topbox than the GTS carrier. His brown seat (with matching pads and grips) looks terrific!

So my list of additions/changes, working from the front, is
. Bitubo front shock
. Removed front mudguard reflectors
. Vespa Club badge on the front
. After-market black mirrors
. Heavier handlebar weights that came with the topbox
. Audicator
. Alarm
. Eco-leather grips
. Floor mat
. GT200 saddle (but further flattened)
. GT200 rack
. Polini variator
. Modified air filter (inside baffle chopped)
. Malossi clutch springs

Mods still planned:
. Experiment with Dr.Pulley sliders in the Polini.
. Fit a GTS300 horn cover, painted to match
. Mayber a Flyscreen

Pipedreams:
. Malossi V4 cylinder head
. Nicer wheels - GTS300 style, or VR with chrome rim

But this pic shows it without the topbox and with a chopped GT200 rack, and before fitting the Bitubo. Beautiful, isn't it?



EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that I had already replied to this topic. But this time I have added a photo.

hey ericalm, how did you attach everything to the glove box cover like that? it looks great

et2 2001.

Dr70cc kit
leovince ZX
Malossi red sponge air filter
polini reeds
manual choke
dellorto 21mm carb
matte black paint
removed rear rack
clear indicators
removed skirts and number plate mudflap.


todo:
modify reed block
replace starter motor
maybe chop some bodywork.

I'm guessing velcro?

I would say Velcro too

1. thermo scud leg cover
2. top box
3. Front rack carrier
4. Grip Lock
5. Cyclone C-11 Talking Alarm

I've taken more off than i've added. Gone are the rack, grabrail, mirrors, mudguard crest, badges, horrible brown standard seat cover, standard exhaust, standard tyres.


All replaced with a pm pipe, some indicator lense tint and some black hammerite on the wheels, footpegs and swingarm.

I prefer clean and uncluttered scoots, all mine are minimal, subtle and stealthy. I just won't do bolt on junk, best way to ruin the looks of a handsome machine imho.

swapped my plastics for black et4 ones, possibly more to cut off.

Vespa flyscreen
Top box with backrest
GPR exhaust
Polini maxi speed clutch
Polini 9 roller

Wow heyitzsushiboi that's an ugly hand injury. Please say you weren't wearing gloves and then say you will be from now on.
