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:

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 GTS conversion, tuning -> Vespa GTS custom scooter 

Before we get to the Vespa GTS conversions come, first a little review:

The Vespa has been a collector's item since the 50s, which the owner has always liked to individualize. To convert the Vespa, accessories and add-on parts such as mirrors, crash bars, speedometers, badges, anti-theft devices, decorative strips, heated handles, child seats, pillion seats, fuel displays and chrome accessories from manufacturers such as Ardor, Appel, Ulma and Vigano were installed.

Vespa Wideframe Accessories

In the 80's

In England germinates with Mods and scooter boys a movement that soon spills over the canal to Germany and the rest of Europe and will cast its spell over it.
Vespa / Piaggio itself now offers a range of accessories.

There's no arguing about taste! Some people went overboard in the wild 80s and screwed everything on their Vespa that the aftermarket had to offer.

The 90s and 2000s

That is the birth of the Scooter Centers: 1992. The Scooter scene is at its zenith in Germany and Europe. Thousands meet on the weekend Scooter meeting = scooter runs, such as the SCOOTERDIVE and many other events to celebrate the vehicles, the music, yourself and your lifestyle.

Find it "Custom shows”Instead, in the off-season these are independent events with a previous and / or subsequent party = nighter. The elaborately converted scooters will be exhibited at the Scooter Customshow and assessed by a jury. The biggest custom shows were, for example, in Hamburg, Munich or the Extravaganza in the Ruhr area and, of course, since 2008 ours too Scootershow in Cologne.

Today: 2020 Modern Vespa models

To date, not much has changed: The modern Vespa is more powerful and engine tuning may become a bit more complex due to the introduction of digital engine control, but the urge for individualization and optimization of the Vespa is unbroken. Not without reason: Vespa has regularly topped the motorbike sales list for years, so of course you want to stand out from the crowd! And the chassis of the Vespa GTS, for example, has significant potential for optimization. Not for nothing, our bgm PRO shock absorbers are for them GTS test winner and bestsellers. LED indicators and LED headlights for GTS & Co are also often converted.

In our Vespa shop we offer you with our own brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA and selected accessories and tuning suppliers (such as Piaggio, bgm, Moto Nostra, Malossi, Polini, Remus, Scorpion, Akrapovic, Leo Vince, HD Corse, Power 1, a wide range of tuning and accessories for your modern Vespa GTS, Primavera or Sprint .
