VESPA V50 SHOCK ABSORBER ADAPTER CMD JOE POSSUM - SMALLFRAME REAR

Vespa V50 shock absorber adapter CMD Joe Possum

There was Wolfgang aka Crazy Monkey Development again very creative: The result is a wonderful one Vespa V50 shock absorber adapter with the name " Joe Possum ". The adapter for the rear shock absorber also fits the classic Vespa Smallframe-Models such as V50, 50N, PV125, ET3 ...

Why do you need a shock absorber adapter?

When you're on a Vespa Smallframe (What is a Vespa Smallframe?) drives a powerful racing exhaust, it is usually the case that the voluminous manifold of the Reso exhaust system rubs against the shock absorber. This beautiful adapter, milled from solid aluminum, moves the shock absorber attachment of the rear shock absorber in an adjustment range of 25mm to 45mm to the rear and up to 5mm to the outside.

This leeway creates enough space for powerful resonance exhaust systems whose manifolds would otherwise touch the shock absorber!

Suspension strut Vespa GTS test

Scooter & Sport Motorroller Magazin tests suspension struts for Vespa GTS

In the current issue 6.2018, Scooter & Sport is testing four Suspension struts for Vespa GTS Models. One thing comes out very clearly and also reflects our opinion: The original Vespa GTS chassis can definitely be “improved”.

bgm shock absorber: recommendation of the editors

In the test of the Scooter & Sport magazine in issue 6.2018 our bgm shock absorbers have also been put through their paces.

The magazine praises them bgm struts for Vespa GTS and awards the seal "Editor's recommendation"

"Installation: unproblematic, fits perfectly".
The other test impressions of the front strut, "bgm PRO F16 Competition”Are for example that the“ damping gets a lot out of the design-related short travel of a Vespa short swing arm ”. And our bgm damper “can cope with all the usual bumps, transverse joints and bumps in everyday German asphalt.
Setting tip from the editors: “Compression in the middle and rebound in the hard area worked best”.

At the back, the testers have the cheaper option "bgm R1 Sport”Installed. The bgm shock absorbers were “the most comfortable rear struts in this comparison ”and“ enable the otherwise so stubborn drive train swinging to move unexpectedly ”. Conclusion: "Editor's recommendation".

The overall impression is that the bgm struts from Scooter Center "clearly the comfort winner" are. “The bgm, however, keep their poise even in brisk passages with demanding bumps in the road”.

These struts were obviously developed and tuned by people with Vespa experience.Scooter & Sport Magazine

We can only agree with the last sentence in Scooter & Sport magazine about our GTS chassis: "These struts were obviously developed and tuned by people with Vespa experience."

Vespa Smallframe Tuning

bgm PRO SC shock absorbers now also tested in the English BSSO racing series

 

Nürburgring_13.09.2009_VespaSS Speedy

Videos say more than a thousand words! Therefore, here is a brief introduction to Tony o'brien and his Charlie Edmonds tuned FALC bullet!

Last weekend Tony got the rear one bgm PRO SC shock absorber tested. The penultimate race of the English BSSO racing series took place on Mallory Park. On the racetrack, speeds are over 150 km / h without problems reached.

Here is the feedback to bgm and us regarding the damper. Unfortunately Tony made a long time in the race, but the next race will take place on September 25th / 25th. Unfortunately already the last of the season and then in Cadwell Park.

“The meeting didn't quite go to plan due to me deciding to test the hardness of the tarmac! (…) Practice was very wet… (…) The damper was set to 3mm pre-sag .. -5max compression and -5max rebound damping. My first impression is that this damper actually works and works very well.

The bike soaks up the bumps pretty well but I feel maybe I could have set the rebound a little harder to help stop the back end bounce on one particular corner. The engine runs a little hot with a little detonation and so I increase carburation to solve this.

By the time of the first race the track is dry. I am on last place on the grid (grid positions are based on previous meeting's results and I couldn't attend). By then end of the lap I am up to 5th from 19 starters, but there is a problem with the bike. (...)

The shock I have set to -3max on rebound and -4max compression .. its working fine and the bike feels transformed. By lap 1.5 I am into 4th behind the 250cc grp6 bikes of Topper, Turner and the 210 grp4 bike of Charely Edmonds. The corner which I had the issue on is now improved and the bike feels much safer and I actually manage to stay on the seat .. the corner is a 70mph left.

On the next lap however the motor cuts and then fires up again whilst banked over on a second gear corner .. This spits me off and into the dirt.

(...) The shock however even in two laps I feel is a massive improvement over the rs24. I feel yes for the track it could do with more damping as I think over the 10 lap race the oil will heat and it may lose damping. It would be nice to have the settings at mid-adjustment on compression and rebound. The spring does touch my tire (3.50 sava) but I can't move the shock over any more at present as the exhaust is in the way. I hope to move this over a little in the winter to solve this problem. the spring rate I would say is correct for me as it is.

During the day lots of racers were interested in the new shock. ”

THANKS TONY !!!!
