Deliver Mission with Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS in Bangkok

Travel report Thailand, Bangkok 2018

 

It's January 2021 the lockdown has just been extended and tightened. The presence in the shop is restricted by the obligation to work from home. And we miss a lot of what makes our lifestyle fun. No runs, no nighters, no weekenders, no races and also no barley juice sextets with friends in the workshop. Cazzo! Sometimes it feels like there's nothing left but Covid.

 

The other day we were discussing our travel activities for the during our Skype lunch break Scooter Center. We have already done quite a bit and mostly it ended up sweaty and dirty or with a well-groomed hangover on long journeys back in the van on the highway.

One of the ultimate highlights of all trips was the visit to Bangkok in 2018. We have already been to India and Vietnam and have looked at dealers, producers and visited LML several times. The plan for Bangkok was similar. There are plenty of dealers and we wanted to do cold acquisition with classic handle cleaning. And also get a better feel for the scene there, about which we admittedly knew little. With the little bit that we knew, it was somehow clear to us that the basic tenor of the western hemisphere “all copycats there” could not be right. To anticipate it and to spare one or the other a long break from reading: Seldom met such passionate scooterists who are so far ahead and live the whole thing!

 

Buddy Seat Lambretta Garage

Our first stop after landing was a visit to Buddy Seat Lambretta Garage. An incredibly cool workshop with frame and fork straightening benches on an incredibly high level. We had to give up our attempt to get there on our own, unsuccessfully. Even a taxi driver could only call us at Buddy Seat help. He then came to us to pick us up. And what a start! Hardly two hours in the city and we are escorted by a Lambretta TV 200. Not a bad start to the seven day business trip. The language barrier was unfortunately very high and the Lambretta talk was successfully conducted with hands and feet.

Lambretta Thailand Cafe

Before we start to get bored in epic breadth:

That was our second stop Lambretta Thailand Cafe, in which the Lambretta Thailand store of our very good friend Show is located. He speaks perfect English and took care of us for the rest of our stay, giving us insights that we would have gained without him. Thank you, Show !!! At least for Philipp - maybe even for Ulf - he made a business trip a more than perfect vacation.

Deliver scooter parts in Bangkok with Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS

In addition to our daytime entertainment at the dealers to be visited showed us Show pretty cool places. Places that showed us how passionate and obsessed the Thais are with Vespa and Lambretta. One day we were even allowed to come along Show and Lert Deliver scooter parts on Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS in Bangkok.

The collectors we were allowed to visit cannot go unmentioned. That was really big cinema that we were offered there. And we are always amazed when we look at the pictures.

Ratchada Night Market

Another highlight and a definite recommendation for every Bangkok visitor is the Ratchada Night Market. A place with a couple of little Lambretta shops, lots of vintage car shops, vintage things and clothes. Cafes, bars, including an old American gas station (dismantled, moved over and reassembled in the US) and loads of other things to see, eat and drink.

Hose 3.00 10

bgm PRO hose 3.00 x 10 butyl hose Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe

, ,

Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe Tube 3.00 x 10 bgm PRO

With the new bgm PRO hoses, we decided in favor of one better quality and higher security for a very high buty content and therefore for a own tube size for tires up to 3.00-10 and 90 / 90-10 = Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe .

Other hoses with a lower butyl content have more flexibility due to a higher rubber content. This allows you to serve a larger range of possible tire sizes (up to 130 / 90-10), but the major disadvantage is poorer airtightness and puncture resistance.

Our bgm PRO hoses are made according to our specifications especially for the needs of Vespa and Lambretta scooters manufactured. Of the Butyl content is over 55%, that makes them extremely airtight and absolutely reliable. The high butyl content makes the hose more expensive to produce, but the result justifies the effort! Nevertheless, we offer this high-quality hose at a great price:

Assembly instructions assembly Assemble tube and tire

TIP: Our bgm PRO scooter tubes can be used in many vehicles with 10-inch tubular tires. When assembling, insert the tire on the bead with assembly paste and dust the inside of the tire with talcum powder. The assembly paste ensures the correct end position of the tire while the talcum minimizes the friction of the tube.
This maximizes the safety and service life of the hose. Instructions for installing Vespa tires

Vespa oil seals bgm PRO

New Vespa oil seals - shaft seals from bgm PRO - Vespa & E10?

, , ,

bgm PRO shaft seals made of high-quality and ethanol-resistant (E10) FKM / Viton® *

New: now also for Wasp Wideframe, GS3, Faro Basso etc .: We have ours Oil seal portfolio expanded with modern Simmerrings from bgm and can now be used for almost every classic Vespa Wave doctrines made of FKM / Viton® offer:

PERFECT SIZE

The bgm PRO Simmerrings have the perfect dimensions that guarantee easy installation, optimal function and a long service life. The large shaft seal on the clutch side, for example on old Vespas, has bgm PRO over a height of 7 mm, instead of the usual ones from other manufacturers 6,5 mm.
This is how the bgm PRO Simmer ring on the original factory information from Piaggio. If you have ever taken apart an old and original Vespa engine, you may have noticed that a large one comes from the factory Shaft seal was installed with a height of 7mm.

Select the matching bgm PRO Simmerrings here

FLOATING CRANKSHAFT

In old engines, the crankshaft bearings are 'floating'. This means that the bearing is not fixed and it can be moved axially (horizontally laterally) in the motor housing. This shift takes place, for example, under load due to the axial force of the helically toothed primary drive. If the crankshaft shifts too much, this can of course have an effect on the ignition and also on the function of the clutch. The aim should therefore be to have as little unnecessary play as possible.

The stop and thus the play of this floating bearing are only determined by the shaft sealing rings in the Vespa engines. The tolerances in the old motors are large and, for example, we also use thicker housing seals today, so 7mm Simmerrings make sense!

WHY FKM / VITON®

The material is FKM (fluorocarbon rubber) extremely resistant to

  • Heat
  • Friction and
  • Fuel type
  • ethanol

Even super petrol fuel E5 in Germany currently has up to 5% ethanol admixture, with E10 even up to 10%, and the trend is rising. And did you know that this can vary from country to country? Possibly. Have you ever noticed in France, for example, that your engine runs differently? In other countries, the ethanol / alcohol content can be significantly higher.

A conventional shaft sealing ring cannot withstand this increasing ethanol admixture and can, for example, swell or soften on contact with fuels containing ethanol.
The bgm PRO In contrast, FKM / Viton® shaft seals offer one permanent protection. In addition, our Simmering with Viton® is compared to the conventional (blue) NBR shaft seals twice as temperature resistant. Further advantages of these modern shaft seals:

  • extremely gas impermeable
  • and very resistant to aging
  • Vespa oil seals bgm PRO
123456789101112

 

SUITABLE FOR E10?

OK, so our Simmerrings from bgm have

  1. optimal dimensions and
  2. most modern materials

but for what are they now suitable?

A, with bgm PRO FKM / Viton® shaft sealing rings, equipped motor can also be used in motors with E10 fuel (10% alcohol) operate.
The modern and high-quality brown Viton® * sealing material is

  • permanently resistant to ethanol / alcohol and
  • also for engines with high temperature load
  • and high speeds suitable.

bgm PRO FKM / Viton® shaft seals are therefore suitable for all engines! Just play it safe and install the modern Simmerrings right away. Whether for an original engine, mild tuning or extreme tuning and motorsport!

For reasons of environmental protection and in favor of maximum flexibility of the sealing lip, we deliberately refrain from additionally applying PTFE / Teflon® * to the sealing lip.

DOUBLE SAFE

The bgm PRO Shaft sealing rings offer a double seal as an additional feature:

All shaft seals that seal to the outside, to the atmosphere, have a so-called Dust lip. This is positioned and held in front of the actual sealing lip

  • Dust,
  • Dirt and
  • Moisture away.

This further increases the very good stability.

CONCLUSION

The bgm PRO Shaft sealing ring set improves the installation clearance and, thanks to the excellent modern materials FKM / Viton®, offers an extremely long service life, combined with perfect fuel compatibility: it is even E10-resistant! The Simmerrings replace the old ones and of course fit without modifications.

Tip: We offer the Simmerrings individually as well as in a set and in a set with bearings!

AROUND HALF AT THE BAR - Scooter Driver Support

,

"AROUND HALF AT THE BAR"

 

" AROUND HALF AT THE BAR" is an organization of scooter riders for scooter riders and their families.

 

In the 80s, a youth movement from England spilled over to Germany, which culminated in the 90s. "Mods", "Scooterboys" or generally "Scooterists" meet with their Vespa and Lambretta scooters at scooter meetings, the scooter runs. Usually more or less organized in scooter clubs or alone, these international runs are best approached on a scooter.

With Northern Soul and Ska music, the all-nighters are partied until the morning. During the day you pass the time with repairs to the mostly tuned scooter, take part in the corso and amused or embarrassed at the fun games. At the custom show, the best vehicles will be awarded in various categories. During this very intensive time, intensive friendships develop among the Scooterists and they are very well networked internationally.

These scooter get-togethers still exist today, albeit a little smaller and the wild boys are now often more or less wild family fathers. Modern means of communication and social media simplify contact considerably. Good and bad news are spread quickly today.

So was the horror news when Markus R. left his wife and newborn child in a deadly wildlife accident on his Vespa in 2015. Spontaneously the Scooterszene organized a fundraiser for his wife and daughter. Vespa and Lambretta friends helped quickly and unbureaucratically.

A tragedy that can suddenly hit anyone through no fault of their own. In the course of time, a few more scooter drivers had an accident. Some never will "AROUND HALF AT THE BAR" being…

one in the Scooterszene well-known slogan, which leaves an exact time open to arrive at a Scooter Run or Niter and to meet friends and like-minded people on site.

In the boom of this youth movement in 1992, this emerged from this scene Scooter Center. Meanwhile one of the world's oldest and largest "roller shops". Here the scooter driver gets everything he needs. ALL YOU NEED - The portfolio ranges from spare parts, tuning, accessories, tires, tools, helmets and literature to fan articles / merchandise.

At half past the Christoph Lambretta Shopper bar

Northern Soul Fist - symbol of the Norther Soul scene

The black fist has its origin in the USA, as a symbol of the resistance of the Afro-American population during the independence movement of the 60s and 70s.
Black gloves were also popular with Northern Soul dancers in the 70s during their acrobatic moves on the dance floor. In addition, black leather gloves for scooter driving were probably very popular with the mods. So it became a symbol of Northern Soul events and a symbol of the scene. It quickly adorned posters and flyers of the events as well as patches on bags and jackets of the supporters of this youth movement. To this day it is a symbol for Northern Soul lovers and therefore also very popular among scooter riders.

Scooter Center ALL YOU NEED since 1992

With the brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA that is Scooter Center also manufacturer of high quality parts, mostly made in Germany. This has supported it for almost 30 years Scooter Center of course still clubs and scooter meetings today and supports the scene.

The Scooter Center The team was enthusiastic about the idea to help the club. So he spontaneously entered into a sponsorship and that Scooter Center supports the association "AROUND HALF AT THE BAR“Now with its infrastructure such as logistics, online shop, payment systems and store sales and also passes all income directly on to the organization.

At half past the bar merchandise products

With the purchase of "AROUND HALF AT THE BAR“- products can Scooter Center Customers support the association in its work. So far there are shirts, hoodies, coasters, stickers and safety vests. The safety vests are particularly close to Daniel Drescher's heart - or "Everell", as he is called in the scene. Everell has "AROUND HALF AT THE BAR“Accepted and organized the association with heart and soul. He is happy about the partnership with the Scooter Center: "The Safety vests are great, because the scooter driver can easily and cheaply increase his visibility and thus his safety in road traffic. "

Happy Birthday German Scooter Forum

Happy Birthday German Scooter Forum - 20 years GSF

,

I still remember the year 2000 and the start of the GSF very well; At that time I had a small private website (www.scooterists.de) with appointments, run reports, technical tips and a guest book that was widely used.
At some point René wrote to me:

"... let's move the communication: to the new forum ...",
"New forum?"
"Yes, there is something news: GSF - German Scooter Forum"...
Madness, this is now 20 years ago!

German Scooter Forum / Screenshot 2002

German Scooter Forum / Screenshot 2002

Largest scooter driver forum worldwide

According to its own information, the GSF is the oldest and largest forum for Vespa and Lambretta scooters in Germany ... and worldwide.
The online community has grown rapidly and today there are over 66.000 members who discussed, asked, made fun of, annoyed, praised, insulted and informed in almost 360.000 topics in over 5 million posts, sometimes more and sometimes less seriously.

Supported by Scooter Center

The Scooter Center has supported the GSF from the very beginning and of course also actively uses it as a support forum. Several times we became best Scooterselected.

 

Interview with “Mike” Michael Betz, German Scooter Forum

Michael Betz German Scooter Forum

Who started the GSF?

I am the father of the GSF, Michael Betz. At that time I was still an active member of the “Low Rider Scooter Club”, later an enthusiastic ESC and long-distance racing driver / team boss with several championship titles.

I have increasingly withdrawn from the ESC racing scene since the birth of my children. I'm still fully involved in the long haul, but only as team boss from 2021 due to an accident. We are by far the most successful team at the VTR24h race in Zuera / Spain. No team has won there twice, not three times, but we've already won four times… plus a few podium places and mostly at the same time with the fastest race lap. We are absolutely at the top with 60 opposing teams, but that's another story.

 

How exactly did the GSF come about?

The nucleus for the GSF came into being in December 2000, when I was doing an internship in Berlin and had a lot of time on the side. At that time I set up the Low Rider SC homepage and didn't want to use a guest book as it was then. It bothered me that the already few scooter riders on the internet were spread over many guest books and the entries always disappeared downwards and no clearly structured and continuous discussion was possible. I wanted to create a central platform and knowledge database. That is why I used a forum that every club could integrate into its own club homepage.

At that time you could not access the forum directly, but first had to go to one of the club websites. The own domain “germanscooterforum.de” came years later.

The first time was pretty tough, people weren't that much online yet and back then there were already big names like “The Scooter Driver Guest Book”, which we first had to assert ourselves against.

We are celebrating 2020 years of GSF in December 20!

 

Who will help you with the flood of questions and contributions?

While I mainly take care of the technical side of the forum myself, there are some selfless supporters who manage to keep the content side of the forum running. Without these guys, the whole thing would not be possible. You invest many hours, nerves and heart and soul in the cause, which deserves the highest respect. So many thanks to my moderators Thisnotes4u, Gertax, t4., Subway, pfupfu, reusendrescher, sähkö, Florian, Vic and all alumni. Without you, the GSF could wrap up!

 

How many members does the forum currently have and what statistics are there?

As of the end of 2020, the forum had a good 66.000 members, making it the undisputed oldest and largest platform forum for classic scooters on the internet. The unimaginable number of well over 5 million contributions alone speaks volumes.

 

Is Facebook & Co. a threat to the GSF?

We have of course noticed that a lot is happening on the social media platforms on the subject of classic scooters. But it is still true that a recurring, in-depth discussion of technical topics and looking up knowledge is only possible in the GSF. Similar to the above-mentioned guest books from the year 2000, the contributions at fb disappear into nirvana after a short time.
Furthermore, I am firmly convinced that the hard core of scooter riders continue to predominantly move in the GSF, while more commercially oriented people or only sporadically interested people tend to stay on the other platforms.

So I look forward to the future calmly, the right people are still in the right place.

 

How can you support the forum?

At this point I would like to thank all supporters of the forum. Without you, the GSF would no longer exist today.
If you want to know how you can support the GSF:

Supports the continued existence of the GSF

The race day

When it got light on Saturday morning, it was already wet and cold (12 degrees C.). After the heated battle in Cheb, a complete contrast program. The drivers' meeting took place under the newly designed canopy, where it started raining and didn't want to stop all day. Free practice started first and gave the five classes the opportunity to adapt to the general conditions. In the "one-size-fits-all" classes, which consist of two Smallframe- and one Largeframe-Class exist in which the scooters must be equipped with uniform engine components in order to enable the same conditions and exciting duels as possible.

 

It was especially exciting again in the big one Smallframe-Unit class, the K4.

Albert H. from the G16 racing team was the fastest man in the rain and was in first place ahead of Achim. Both gave everything and unfortunately fell. Achim's racing Vespa almost found itself in the men's toilet after the fall. After pulling his scooter out of the china again, he was able to finish the race in fourth place. In races 1 and 4 Robert fought hard with Albert and sometimes there was more water to be seen than the driver. Shoulder to shoulder through the wet curves! With the better end for Robert, and with it the championship in class K2.

 

In the K5 it was no less exciting:

Background: Valentino in first place in the championship standings in the K1 class, followed by Felix (-5 points) and Moody (-15). Three runs with 48 points each for the winner are still to be run.

Start run 1: After a great start, Valentino led the pack into the first corner, but had to let a strong Moody pass in the second corner. From the 2rd corner Moody slowly pulled away, followed by Valentino, Sebastian N., Christian K. etc. Felix didn’t really get going and had to fight some space fights in midfield, which made the train inaccessible for him made. Moody pulled away until the 3th lap, but then Valentino increased the pace and slowly but steadily caught up. (Meanwhile about three seconds between Moody and Valentino). Moody wanted to increase his pace again, but this led to a fall and threw him back to P5. Valentino took the lead, followed by Sebastian N. with a gap of about a second and was the first to bring it safely to the checkered flag. P6 for Sebastian, P2 for Christian K .. Moody had to give up completely one lap after the fall due to a technical ignition defect. Felix did not get beyond a 3 place. With this finish, Junior could no longer be ousted from P6 in the championship standings.

 

Run 2:  After another bombshell start, this time from pole, Valentino did not give up this lead until the finish line. Again closely followed by Sebastian, who couldn't catch up as close as in the first run. This time the gap was almost 1 seconds. Again in 2rd place followed Christian K. Moody could no longer show the speed of the 3st run and training and landed on P1, Felix on P6.

Run 3:  Seemed almost a bit boring, but the same as race 2, great start, another start-finish victory for Valle. It should be mentioned that a) Sebastian got off badly at the start this time, was involved in tough duels and had to put up with an 8th place. Moody also struggled and ended up on P5, which cost him 3rd place in the championship standings with the failure in the first run. And who will move up to P3 in the championship? Albert, who crossed the finish line in race 1 on P7 and race 2 on P5, and secretly secured the final podium in the championship with a hard-fought P3 in run 3.

 

At the end there was a 40min endurance race, in which only K5 vehicles were allowed to be used, and 2 drivers each (pairing was drawn). After 15 minutes the driver could be changed. The Achim and Valentino team won this new edition.

, ,

LML Piaggio Vespa license builds from India

“Lohia Machinery Limited” is the abbreviation for LML. Would you have known? And did you know that we already
2014 traveled to India to get a picture of the production and that LML plant in Kampur to visit?

Our “souvenirs” were a few containers full of complete LML frame sets with all the necessary sheet metal parts, already painted. These body kits are a great replacement for Vespa PX frames.

An success story takes its course, but will there also be a happy ending?

The very last LML frame sets for VESPA PX - Timeline LML Vespa PX

2015 we could be the first Unpack boxes and offer these popular restoration kits for the PX series.

Yes, there were rumors and somehow it was to be expected, but we were very dismayed when, not even 2 years later, we:
2016 about the From LML had to report. Since then there are only remnants of the parts, which are or were mostly a good, often the only alternative to original Piaggio Vespa parts.

2019 did Maryzabel begin Platonica on the basis of an LML set and one of the last LML motor housings and LML fork for disc brakes. Sweetened with lots of great bgm PRO parts, such as the 187ccm cylinder for as Heart of the whole project.

2020 - now it is time! It happened as it had to happen: The stock of our LML frame sets for Vespa PX is also coming to an end. In good time for the beginning of autumn, we are now giving you the chance to actually order the very last LML body sets.

My TIP: Buy now before it's too late.

Now secure one of the last LML frame sets

LML frameset for Vespa PX being tested

We use the frame ourselves for our own Platónica project.  But also, for example, the Vespa YouTuber Kevin from Savage Scooters, got this frame as a replacement for a warped and rusted through Vespa PX frame. In this video he unpacks our LML frame set and shows you the quality and the end result, which is quite impressive:

bgm PRO shaft sealing rings / Simmerrings FKM / Viton®

, , , , ,

bgm PRO shaft seals made of high-quality and ethanol-resistant (E10) FKM / Viton® *

Brand new in our shop are the new bgm PRO Simmerrings for many Vespa and Lambretta models: Shaft sealing rings bgm PRO

  • perfect protection
  • double sealing thanks to the dust lip
  • recommended for each engine original or
  • tuned high-performance engine
  • twice as temperature resistant
  • suitable for extremely high speeds
  • permanently alcohol-resistant - perfect for scooter meetings ;-)
  • very good gas impermeability
  • high temperature load
  • very resistant to aging
bgm PRO shaft sealing rings Viton® - Simmerrings Vespa and Lambretta

WHY SHAFT SEAL MADE FROM FKM / VITON®

The material FKM (fluorocarbon rubber) is extremely heat, friction and fuel / ethanol resistant. Current premium fuel in Germany already contains an admixture of up to 5% ethanol per se.

In other countries the ethanol / alcohol content is even higher. Conventional Simmerrings / shaft seals can swell or soften when they come into contact with fuels containing ethanol.
The bgm PRO FKM / Viton® shaft seals, on the other hand, offer one perfect protection. In addition, Viton is different from conventional (blue) NBR shaft seals twice as temperature resistant, has one very good gas impermeability and is also very resistant to aging.

WHAT ARE THE SIMMER RINGS SUITABLE FOR?

An engine equipped with bgm PRO FKM / Viton® shaft sealing rings can therefore also be operated with E10 fuel (10% alcohol). The high quality brown Viton® * sealing material is permanently alcohol-resistant and also for engines with suitable for high temperatures and high speeds.
bgm PRO FKM / Viton® Simmerrings are therefore suitable for all engines, regardless of whether original leave or tuned high-performance engine.

For reasons of environmental protection and in favor of maximum flexibility of the sealing lip, we deliberately refrain from additionally applying PTFE / Teflon® * to the sealing lip.

BENEFITS OF BGM PRO OIL SEALS!

The BGM PRO shaft sealing rings offer a double seal as an additional feature. All shaft seals that seal against the atmosphere have a so-called dust lip. This is positioned in front of the actual sealing lip and keeps dust, dirt and moisture away. This further increases the already good stability. SINGLE & AVAILABLE IN A SET The BGM PRO FKM / Viton® shaft seals are available individually and in sets for almost all Vespa and Lambretta engines.

Interview with Alex Stroh Scooter Center

Alex on the couch at Scooter Center

Alex straw, Technical Product Manager Scooter Center, bgm, Moto Nostra

In the Platónika project, I got to know my accomplice pretty well over time and the plan to rebuild a Vespa from individual parts. And I am overjoyed to learn every day from one of the best Vespa mechanics I have probably ever met.

He is also involved in racing (on a Vespa, of course) and - no more and no less - he is one of the master minds in the development of the bgm-Products for that Scooter Center!

Knowing him so well now, I thought it was high time to introduce you to Alex and take another look behind the scenes of the Scooter Center (SC) to throw.

 

I hope you like it and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate and fire at home! ;)

Vespa GTS LED indicators with running light

, , , ,

The perfect indicators for your Vespa GTS conversion

We have the popular LED indicators with dynamic running lights from MOTO NOSTRA already introduced to you here. Our partner Cafe Racer 69 also likes to install the turn signals on theirs Vespa GTS conversions. Not without reason, because the tinted indicators offer an exclusive and elegant look. They are in action GTS running light flashers spectacular, they also fit perfectly harmoniously into the design and lines of the Vespa GTS body: see also here in the video!

Easy installation

Now there is Youtube a video, which shows the simple installation of the LED indicators very nicely:

Vespa Gts 300 hpe "British Classic" Part 6 - Vespa LED indicators from Moto Nostra

The Vespa GTS LED indicators with running light available in Clear glass or tinted black, individually for front or rear and in a cheap set:

MOTO NOSTRA indicator with dynamic running light for Vespa GTS

The MOTO NOSTRA turn signals have individually controlled LEDs and thus generate a fully dynamic running light, as we know it from vehicles of the luxury class (e.g. Audi A7). The light effect created is very pleasing and offers a pleasant change from conventional indicators. As an additional special feature, the front indicators have a bright white daytime running light strip in a plasma look. The same technology is used as the position light at the rear.

WHY LED? MORE SECURITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY!

In addition to this wonderful optical upgrade of the scooter and the possibility to individualize your GTS and thus stand out from the crowd, there is another important point that speaks in favor of these great LED indicators:

This new technology increases the optical width of the rear end in the dark, making it easier to see in traffic. The bright LEDs of the turn signals are clearly visible from a long distance. The running light is also optically better captured than with a conventional turn signal.

QUALITY

A particular concern for us was the quality and fit. With the MOTO NOSTRA indicators, both are at a very high level and thus a high-quality alternative to the indicators from Power 1.
In addition, the Moto Nostra indicators are always delivered with connection adapters. There is therefore no need to change the wiring harness!

 

APPROVAL: NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TÜV

Of course, the indicators have a test mark and are approved for use on public roads (no TÜV approval required).

Vespa PX LED headlights

In this Vespa tutorial video we show you how our Vespa PX LED headlight is installed for the Vespa PX. the MOTO NOSTRA HighPower LED headlights can also be installed in other vehicles (Lambretta, Vespa GTS, Sprint, Rally), with the supplied, vehicle-specific frame, the installation of the Vespa headlight is as eg Vespa PX LED headlights easily.

WHY AN LED HEADLIGHT ON THE VESPA? 

For most scooters, the limit with conventional Bilux light bulbs is a headlight bulb with 45/45 W. The ignitions, which are usually 80 W to a maximum of 120 W, do not provide any more. The luminosity is measured in lumens below 400. The LED headlight has a luminosity that is three times as high (1300 lumens). The power consumption is only 20 W. This corresponds to the light output of a conventional 100 watt spotlight. With a given alternator / power supply, a considerably better illumination can be achieved. In addition, there is more capacity for other consumers.

Vespa shock absorber bgm PRO SC COMPETITION shock absorber for Vespa oldies

bgm PRO SC Competition shock absorber

The bgm PRO SC Competition shock absorber is a further development of the successful BGM PRO F16 Sport series. Visually, the Competition series differs through the external expansion tank. This allows a larger compensation volume compared to the sports damper better responsiveness. At the same time the effective adjustment range of the damping has been increased.

AREA OF APPLICATION Sport & Comfort

Compared to the sport damper, the competition damper has a different basic set-up. This makes it very suitable for use with stiff sport springs such as the new bgm PRO spring.

The setting of rebound and compression levels also counteract the concept-typical brake nod, but also effectively counteract the rapid rebound on short bumps. This means that the competition damper offers a lot of reserves even in powerful vehicles. The wide range of chassis tuning naturally also enables use with a standard spring, which means that comfortable driving is still possible with a soft damper adjustment.

 

INSTALLATION & OPTICS

Thanks to the optimized installation dimension of 165mm, the damper also fits all 8-inch models without any problems, without preloading the spring or changing the angle of the swing arm. When installed, the external expansion tank is largely covered by the fender, which means that the original look of the front of the vehicle is retained. As with the F16 Sport series, the damper body is made of hard anodized aluminum. The damper is available in black and silver.

PRACTICAL SET

We also offer the bgm competition damper in set with the bgm coil spring that goes perfectly with the reinforced shock absorber!
