Modern Vespa

OK guys, I am ready to install the SS floorboards on my 400...

I have the rugs, 4 of the longer bolts from jeff...

2 of the shorter bolts from my nearest dealer...

4 spacers that were shown in the parts drawing...

Of course, all of this is because I now have the Ultimate Footpeg from Jeff...

And I have a set of footpegs....

I was looking at the best way to install the rugs, any suggestions from the board???

I guess the first step is to remove the old rugs, but do I also need to remove the Fairings to access everything from the bottom...

Fuzzy, I guess I wasn't paying attention when they put yours on in Chattanooga...

Luckily the had a spare set of parts from a nearby 500...

Here is what i have assembled so far...

Ya Dave I know...

They are Aluminum not Stainless Steel

Mine are SS, and so are those on every other 500 I've seen! <<< jimc brain-fart again, aluminium they are! Apols.

It looks like you've got some unnecessary bits tacked onto the end of your image URL's. Lop it off after the "*.jpg" extension and you should be good to go. gets you


and gets you


Hope that helps. Also, Bravo on making it your own!

Thanks for the tutorial, I was using the wrong coding for those pics...

Now can we get back on topic about swapping to the SS/Al floorboards??

you also can fit the back ones see this topic Passenger foot plate switch - Info needed

Man, I was looking at them saying to my self, "This is the lightest stainless steel I have ever seen, seems like Aluminum to me"
Man, I thought I knew my metals fairly well.
