Modern Vespa

Mate, Give me a call. I believe i have one for you

Cheers

Cool. PM your number to me please.

Oh aye!

Done

Cheers

f-awesome!

Larry seat cover is on the way. Wanna see it installed. Posted this just so we keep this thread alive. I see a lot of potential with us trading back and forth.

Rick

Have the mirror, but no brackets. Also have a vespa legshield basket that I can't use. I would take super cheap for it.

Oh yeah, and a very cool two tone 10 inch tire cover. Perfect for the mod...

i only have some pitted old rims i just replaced for Amerivespa. i guess i could fish them outta the trash/recycle bin if somebody was dieing to have them. lol dieing! hah!

but yea i like this thread too.

If anyone is interested let me know.
I have enjoyed this and I'll pass it on for free, I'll even ship it free (in the US)A.
It is from the UK, so if you don't have a region free DVD player, you can watch it on your computer.

After you've watched it enough times, pass it on to another Vespa lover.

Here is the description:

Scooter collector Neil "Dick Humpty" White sets off for Italy in pursuit of the story of the Vespa. We join him on a journey that takes us to two of Italy's legendary Auto Jumbles now the only place in the world to pick up original classics of Vespa History.

We meet a private collector with a garage full of classics, take a tour round the Vespa Museum, catch a glimpse inside the factory itself and ride out with an Italian Vespa club in the foothills of the Alps mountain range.

Got it today! Looks like a perfect fit. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi mate, Glad you got it.

Hope it works out for you.

Cheers

Has any one had energy to do a postable inventory page ?

Video has been claimed, Maybe he'll pass it on!

ok - if any one needs i have a few 10 in rims around i'll throw in the pot - also have a bunch of cylinders - mostly 150's 2 port in decent shape - usable with a hone. and i have many carb box lids and even one carb box i think for a 20/17 carb with lid. i also have a bunch of idle screws and p series turn signal covers as well as a funky P plastic fuel knob.
pay for shipping or pick up in seattle and its yours if u need it ~

cheers -

btw - i LOVE this thread ~ fits my ideals of a good society - maybe there is hope for us humans yet .....

Once I get the P frame bake I wll be posting the left overs here. Requested to have this subject up at the top visible to all . We will see if the moderators agree.
I will have a set of P cables available once the frame comes back from the body shop.
So far, provide a Seat cover.. wheel rim. Keep the thread going. especially around the p200s.

Rick

I shall definitely pass this on to fellow ModernVespa members!

+1
but i want to know - when you "bake" your P - what temp do you use? how do you know when its done? where did you find a big enough oven ?
let me know cause i need to bake mine asap ! are bakerd P leftovers good for a few days ?
do you refrigerate them >?

on a more serious note i totally agree this thread should live at the top of page so we dont have to bump it or search for it.

i also have a few new front springs for hub and a Stella(can work on a P?) seat hinge up for grabs~ as well as the carb box lids - 1 complete carb box , 2 port 150 cc cylinders , idle screws for Si carbs,and a few 10 in rims -all of which is free to pick up or pay for shipping ~

Looking for a free or cheap P series/stella/whatever fits a stella horncast. If you have a spare you can part with let me know what you have and how much you want.

PX Horncast. Even though, a P-Series horncast would look much better than the PX

i LOVE this thread ~ keep it alive ppl~

another success story ~ Travis has a P series rear bumper on the way to him.
keep this thread at top !!! this is one of the best things one can do with parts not needed!

Thanks Hal!

I'll have some P-Series stuff to post up as soon as I'm finished working on my bike.

ET 2 stock needed

Im after the 2 reflective strips from either side of the bike, they were not there when bought and cant find any anywhere, Also the "fuse" holder from by the battery...

Would love some clear indicators for the front if anyone has any spare ones, and would love some chrome mirrors, I will probably be buying some soon but if theres any going spare...im ya man!

Up for grabs at the moment...

I have Tommy 125 Large chrome front light, 2 chrome 10mm Tommy 125 mirrors (slightly scuffed) and a old backbox in black.

many thanks

If anyone has the two center floor rails for my allstate let me know. I'm not proud, any condition will do

Anyone need a Seat Check pin for P-Series? I've got one that I don't need.

p.s. Thanks Hal for the Rear Bumper. I could barely see the minor imperfections that you described. Looks Sterling!

Dave, thanks for the DVD, it was such a fun watch! I've forwarded it over to Vespretta. Anyone want it next?

Anyone got a spare Smallie Clutch Puller that is collecting dust?

I'm in for the DVD.

Anyone have a fuel tap wrench they could part with for a short time? or a long time? need to pull the tank to clean out the PO's attempt at painting the inside. if you are in the boston area i can swing by...

thanks
Dan

Been looking for a corsa seat for my PX.i have a slightly warped front mudguard for 05 px with no scratches.

If you can't find one, a basin wrench will work in a pinch. You can pick one up for 5 - 10 bucks. It's all I've ever used. YMMV

...plus you can use it on your plumbing.

I have a dellorto 20/20 carb on my veloce 150 which I believe is sucking air.
The guy who rebuilt the engine used a sealant rather than a gasket in attaching it.

Does anyone have a 20/20 carb gasket?

It doesn't have to be free, I'll pay.
I just thought rather than collecting dust in your shop, I could give you the money instead of a parts shop. If not, there I know our friendly sponsor shops are very trustworthy.

Thanks and let me know.

P.S.
Hello Jim H.!!!!

Many many thanks to Blackbart.
He let me spend yesterday afternoon with him, and helped me get my tank in order and had the needed gaskets for my carb.
While the tank was drying, we went for a nice back country ride on his p200s.
What amazing fun!
Not only is his workshop is awesome, but he is an incredible scooter aficionado.
...not to mention: a good friend.

Thanks Blackbart!

I bought aluminum center stand boots for my P200 and I suppose I didn't tighten the bolt enough on one and lost it.

Anybody got an extra boot. I'm just trying to avoid buying a whole new set.

Hello everyone!
Just got myself an official vespa helmet like the one pictured below, but mine is red.
I am interested in the little visor thingy that snaps onto the three snaps on the front. Not a shield or anything, just the little sun visor.

Any one have one to get rid of?
Know of where to purchase?

I just spent a while searching eBay to no avail.
Let me know...


Thanks

Still have a mod (two tone or Madness, beats me) 10 inch spare tire cover. Black/white. Don't have 10 inch wheels since the sprint is gone. If that look is your thing, let me know.

Far from good condition, but worth throwing out there:

Turn Signal / Kill Switch - Switch Assembly for P200E. Kill switch arm was broken off & green wire has rotted (Needs new wire soldered on). All wires other than the green are in good condition. Turn Signal switch worked when in the bike.

Turn Signal switch cover, lettering has faded. CLAIMED
Horn & Hi/Lo switch cover, lettering has faded. CLAIMED

Free to anyone who wants for the shipping (less than $3 for the switch).

Anyone have a 20/20 Dellorto non-injected carb laying around collecting dust? Could really use one. Would pay.

I'm sorry, I just passed mine on a while back, good luck!
