Dropbar Vespa GTS, Sprint

Die Individualisierung von Rollern hat in der Szene einen festen Platz erobert, und wer nach dem ultimativen Custom-Touch für seine Vespa Sprint oder Primavera sucht, wird mit dem Dropbar-Lenker von MOTO NOSTRA fündig.

Mit 15° Neigung liegt unser aktueller Dropbar-Lenker genau zwischen Sport und Touring.
Alle originalen Anbauteile passen in bzw. an die mitgelieferten Lenkerverkleidungen.
Die Montage der Lenkerendgewichte erfolgt ebenfalls wie beim Original.
Somit sind auch die beliebten Lenkerenden-Spiegel problemlos zu verbauen.

Ein Upgrade mit Stil:

Der wahre Charme des Dropbar-Lenkers entfaltet sich auf der Straße. Die neue Lenkerform verleiht nicht nur ein beeindruckendes Erscheinungsbild, sondern verbessert auch die Fahrposition und das Handling. Jede Kurve wird zu einem sinnlichen Erlebnis, und die Fahrt wird zum Ausdruck persönlichen Stils.

Was ist mit der GTS-Serie?

Der MOTO NOSTRA Dropbar-Lenker ist nicht nur eine stylische Option für die Vespa Sprint, sondern öffnet auch die Tür und Tor für zukünftige GTS Custom-Projekte.

Diese Idee geistert in unseren Köpfen herum, seit wir vor fünf Jahren unseren Vespa GTS Demonstrator vorgestellt haben.

Nun stellen wir uns der Herausforderung, einen Dropbar-Lenker zu entwickeln, der den gesetzlichen Normen für den öffentlichen Straßenverkehr entspricht.

Wir haben bereits ein erstes Muster und der nächste Schritt ist nun ein zweites Muster bzw. Prototypen zu entwickeln, um die letzten Ideen und Verbesserungen in die Serien einfließen zu lassen.

Wäre ein Dropbar-Lenker nicht das fehlende Puzzlestück, um Deiner GTS eine individuelle Note zu verleihen?

Wir sind gespannt auf eure Gedanken und Meinungen zum MOTO NOSTRA Dropbar für die Vespa GTS!

Vespa gts 300 oil pan with sight glass Vespa gts before 2019 with filler neck

Modern Vespa, News, Vespa

Vespa GTS oil pan with sight glass GTS up to 2019 socket fox

These are the Jack fox Oil pans with sight glass for the older Vespa GTS models until around 2019, recognizable by the filler neck directly on the oil pan.

For the newer GTS models we also have oil pans with sight glass: Vespa GTS 300 HPE oil pans with sight glass

Vespa GTS oil pan with sight glass GTS up to 2019 socket fox

Never run out of oil again

If you follow the forums, you have probably already noticed one or the other engine failure as a result of a lack of oil.

This practical oil pan is a must for every GTS because it has several advantages. In addition to the spectacular look, the oil pan with sight glass is above all very functional:

It enables the oil level to be read off quickly through the oil window
With the level of the oil you also have the control whether the engine is horizontal when reading the dipstick, 6mm inclination already make a big difference between MAXIMUM and MINIMAL oil level!
In addition to these features, which give you a significant plus in safety, the oil pan is a visual highlight and a bit more individualization on your Vespa GTS!

We get the oil pans directly from Jack foxwho only original Piaggio oil pans used for the renovation. Quality craftsmanship made in Germany!

We can offer you the oil pans in 3 colors:

Silver / unpainted like original
Black MATT powder-coated
GLOSSY black powder coated

Order oil pan here

TIP:

Compare the oil level on the oil sight glass with the oil level on the dipstick, then you will have a feeling for it and can quickly and reliably read off whether you should refill some more oil.

Optical engine oil check through a sight glass instead of the dipstick!

This eliminates the annoying and sometimes complicated and imprecise checking of the oil level using the dipstick. A simple look at the oil sight glass before every trip and you know whether you can start or, better still, add a sip of oil.
It is also noticeable here how important it is that the Vespa is absolutely horizontal when checking the oil level – 6mm inclination make the difference between MAX and MIN.
With this oil pan you are on the safe side!
Only NEW ORIGINAL PIAGGIO oil pans are used for the production, which are laboriously reworked on the CNC milling machine for the installation of the oil sight glass.

Vespa GTS Euro 5 Exhaust

The new Euro 5 standard has put the accessory manufacturers in a tight spot. From 2021, the new Vespa GTS models will only be available with Euro 5. We now show you which exhaust systems are already available for the new models. Marc from Scooteria, together with our partner in Berlin, presents the changes to the new models in this video Cafe Racer 69in this video.

Vespa GTS Euro 5 Tuning

Even in the past, the first thing we did with our Vespa was to change the exhaust, and that’s still the case today, and not without good reason! I personally believe that Piaggio has a deal with the tuning manufacturers and therefore always makes the exhaust as ugly as possible. But that’s just a personal assumption… With a new Euro5 GTS, there was no way to get a legal exhaust until now. But now something is happening: we have 3 exhaust systems on offer for you. First of all, there is one thing that applies to exhaust systems with approval: they are essentially optical and sound tuning. Of course, a major change in performance cannot be achieved with these exhaust systems. Therefore, you have the choice: just buy the exhaust that you like best – or that is currently available or fits into your budget… To make it easier for you to choose, we have included pictures of the exhaust systems and the exhaust sound in the videos, which were made available to us by the manufacturer.

Arrow – available now

The new Arrow GTS Euro 5 exhaust is already available. Unfortunately we don’t have a soundcheck of the Arrow, but we have pictures in the shop. The Arrow systems are also among the favourites of the Cafe Racer 69 and are also one of our top sellers.

Of course, this works for all products that are not available at the moment:

Luggage carrier Vespa GTS HPE front MOTO NOSTRA

Modern Vespa, Vespa

MOTO NOSTRA luggage rack Vespa GTS HPE front

This is our new innovative luggage rack for the new GTS models. This MOTO NOSTRA Vespa GTS front carrier offers you two big advantages:

Mounting without drilling = reversible
90° support surface = deep luggage & headlight is not covered

Simple mounting without drilling

The luggage carrier is simply attached to the top of the leg shield with the two brackets and fixed to the frame with the enclosed special angle plate. In addition, the luggage carrier is supported by rubber buffers on the frame and thus offers a very high level of safety. When folded out, the carrier platform has a pleasantly flat angle. This means that even a larger piece of luggage can be transported without covering the headlight. We have produced the MOTO NOSTRA luggage carriers in three versions:

Assembly is easy and quick! Our assembly instructions are easy to understand and are included with the product. Of course, you can also get the tools from us: TOPTUL Tool Shop

Modern Vespa, Vespa

Vespa GTS 500

A Vespa GTS 500 is what many GTS riders dream of. An Italian engineer has given it some serious thought and visualised a 500cc model of the GTS, and the YouTube video has been very successful. Every year there is speculation in the scene as to whether Piaggio will bring it this year. Now Björn Dressler from Berlin has beaten Piaggio to the punch. With his project “La Mutata”, Björn is bringing his conversions with up to 44 hp and 492 cc legally onto the road. Before you pull out your wallet: this conversion is not done easily! It takes about 4 months and costs a bit more than most people carry around in their wallets: it starts at 15,000 euros. Marc from Scooteria presents the project “La Mutata”, a converted Vespa GTS 500, in his

VESPA GTS 500 cc Tuning „La Mutata“ Teil 1

video.

La Mutata Vespa GTS

The conversion of a Vespa Gts to a 500 Piaggio engine with German road approval and at least 39 hp! Italian for “The Mutated” – enables riding performance with a Vespa GTS that is beyond that of a 300. All installed components such as chassis and brakes are tuned to the higher torque and the significantly increased peak power. An absolute highlight for all Vespa tuning fans! A road test with the Vespa Gts 500 will be coming soon – subscribe to the Scooteria Channel and don’t miss anything else!

The idea of castor oil

Castrol was founded by Charles “Cheers” Wakefield under the name “CC Wakefield & Company”. In 1899, Wakefield left his job at Vacuum Oil to start his own business selling lubricants for railways and heavy machinery. In the early 20th century, Charles developed an interest in two new motorised vehicles: the automobile and the aeroplane. His company began developing oils for the new engines. These oils had to be thin enough for cold starting and at the same time thick enough to function at high temperatures. The company’s researchers found that the problem could be solved by adding castor oil, a vegetable oil made from castor seeds. They called the new product “Castrol“. In 1919, John Alcock and Arthur Brown used Castrol oil on the first non-stop transatlantic flight in history.

Heiko’s idea with Castrol sponsorship & fast to slow

CC Wakefield not only invented a new type of motor oil, but also a new way to attract potential customers to his product: sponsorship. The Castrol name appeared on banners and flags at air races, car races and speed record attempts. Over time, the brand name of the motor oil became far better known than that of the company’s founder/company. This circumstance led to the renaming of “CC Wakefield & Company” in 1960 to Castrol Ltd.

Classic-Castrol-Scootering-Corso

Classic-Castrol-Scootering

I have been riding Vespa and Lambretta for over 32 years. It all started with a red Vespa PK50S, which, bought second-hand, was already waiting in my parents’ garage for my driving licence. But it quickly became too slow for me. The first tuning measure was to fit an expensive 50km/h exhaust. But it didn’t do much good, the moped boys were still flying past me left and right. So I sold it and became interested in a black PX 80 Lusso, which was very expensive in insurance at the time. During the test drive, the gears always flew out. But I was happy to have my mother so far as to be allowed to buy me this scooter…. besides, my father was on a business trip and didn’t know anything about the new “80”. So: now or never! So the scooter was bought with this “little hidden flaw”.

ROLLERSHOP, Scootering & Mods, Scooterboys and Scooter Scene

We all know what was wrong with the engine: the reason for the uncontrolled gear changes, was the worn “round” gear shift cross. The nearest Vespa dealer wanted DM 700 for the change, but that was out of the budget for my skilful scooter update. I got in touch with other scooter riders. One of them had been skateboarding for the last week and was now suddenly motoring on a brand new Vespa PX 80 Lusso. A month later I met him again, sitting in a suit and polished leather shoes on his Vespa, now plastered with mirrors and chrome parts. The next time I met him, half of his scooter was missing and on his head too. Instead of fine leather shoes and a suit, he was now wearing red boots up to his knees, camouflage trousers and a bomber jacket. On his head, all that was left of his “popper mane” was a little horn of hair that fluttered listlessly in his face after he had taken off his helmet. Somewhat irritated, I asked him if he had had an accident with his scooter and why he looked so funny. He said he was now Scooterboy and the scooter was a CutDown! He had probably discovered it before, for me it was new at the time: the MOTORETTA, the Scootermag and still in black and white. And so the evil took its course. Now the 80s also became too slow for me somehow, schoolmates with DT, RD, MBX & Co and even some mopeds were faster than me. So if I change the gearshift anyway and take the engine out and disassemble it, I might as well make the bike a bit faster… In the meantime I had also discovered the ROLLERSHOP catalogue and SCOOTERING. I was so fascinated by the custom paint jobs in the glossy magazines that I sat down in my 80s “children’s room” and dreamed of great paint jobs and scribbled a few of them on paper. Yes, laugh, these are my collected works:

Castrol sponsoring with the “Castrol Vespa Racer

So somehow my dreams regarding the custom paint job didn’t really come true, so I later took the initiative and asked Castrol for a sponsorship. To be honest, I’m a bit uncomfortable about this right now: I was quite sure I had done this at the age of 16. But according to the date of the letter to Castrol, which I found in my “Scooter Scene box”, I was already a bit older and at that time already doing my community service.

vespa-castrol-sponsoring – 10

vespa-castrol-sponsoring – 9

Unfortunately I don’t have the drawings of my“Castrol Racer” with 20 hp and targeted 130-140km/h anymore. I must have enclosed the drawings with the letter to Castrol, Motorsport Department. I found this test printout with corrections from the letter. But I certainly didn’t write to UHU and NUTELLA, MÜHLEN KÖLSCH? Maybe! I don’t know any more… But the gentleman from Castrol was very nice, invited me to the IFMA in Cologne and, after a short conversation in the Castrol truck, pressed a few Castrol stickers into my hand. If anyone from Castrol is reading along here: my offer still stands! This is my Augsburg Vespa T4, for example:

ARROW exhaust systems available for Vespa GTS

With us you can now also get ARROW exhaust systemsagain. Maybe you have already noticed with our Vespa GTS – Custom-Special that most custom scooters from CafeRacer 69 have an Arrow exhaust system installed. This is certainly not without reason, the Berlin Vespa Customizer Team knows what it does! Scooteria has made a nice comparison video here and compares the original Piaggio Vespa GTS exhaust with the ARROW exhaust:

Test ARROW VS. Vespa GTS Exhaust

Gianelli & ARROW History

Giorgio Giannelli founded ARROW SPECIAL PARTS in 1985 and very successfully built racing exhaust systems for professional competition. In the 4-stroke and 2-stroke sector, drivers in various classes won world championship titles with the Arrow exhaust systems. In the meantime Gianelli and Arrow have brought their know-how gained from racing to the road and offer exhaust systems for the Vespa GTS, for example.

Vespa GTS LED indicators with running light

Modern Vespa, News, Vespa, Vespa - Videos

The perfect indicators for your Vespa GTS conversion

We have already presented the popular LED indicators with dynamic running light from MOTO NOSTRA. Our partner Cafe Racer 69 also likes to use the indicators in their Vespa GTS conversions. Not without reason, because the tinted turn signals offer an exclusive and noble optics. In action the GTS running light indicators are spectacular, furthermore they fit perfectly into the design and the lines of the Vespa GTS bodywork: see also here in the video!

Easy to install

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

The Vespa GTS LED turn signals with running lights are available in clear glass or black tinted, individually for front or rear and in an affordable set:

MOTO NOSTRA indicators with dynamic running light for Vespa GTS

The MOTO NOSTRA turn signals have individually controlled LEDs and thus produce a fully dynamic running light, just as one knows it from vehicles in the luxury class (e.g. Audi A7). The generated light effect is very pleasing and offers a pleasant change to conventional turn signals. As an additional feature, the front turn signals have a bright white daytime running light strip in plasma look. At the rear the same technology is used as position light.

WHY LED? MORE SAFETY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY!

Besides this wonderful visual enhancement of the scooter and the possibility to individualize its GTS and thus stand out from the crowd, there is another important point that speaks for these great LED indicators:

This new technology increases the optical width of the rear end in the dark and significantly improves perception in road traffic. The bright LEDs of the turn signals are already clearly visible from a long distance. The running light is also optically better detected than with a conventional turn signal.

QUALITY

A special concern for us was the quality and fit. Both are on a very high level with the MOTO NOSTRA turn signals and therefore a high-quality alternative to the Power 1 turn signals.
In addition, the Moto Nostra indicators are always supplied with connection adapters. Therefore, there is no need to make any changes to the wiring harness!

APPROVAL: NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TÜV

Of course the indicators have a test mark and are approved for public road traffic (no TÜV approval required).

Install black oil pan Vespa GTS

Why convert a Vespa GTS oil pan?
In this article about Vespa GTS conversion we have shown you some great examples of custom and tuning a Vespa GTS.

It is often the details that make for a successful conversion with a coherent overall concept.

A nice detail of the modern Vespa scooters is for example a black oil pan. We offer you with our MOTO NOSTRA oil pan a brand new original Piaggio – oil pan, which we have provided with a high-quality high-gloss powder coating. The video below shows how the conversion is very easy to do.

This GTS oil pan is first prepared for the refinement in a complex way and then professionally processed. The result is an extremely hard-wearing surface with a super look. The sump is of course delivered ready for installation, you have the choice:

Note: Please do not forget to install a new gasket -> oil pan gasketA
great opportunity to use new engine oil and oil filter:

Tip: We offer you cheap and practical sets! The inspection kits are equipped with all parts needed for an inspection, depending on the mileage and recommended revision work:

Vespa GTS oil pan conversion

The installation is very simple, but there are a few things to consider.
Here you can find a great video of Scooteria, who also change the MOTO NOSTRA oil pan in the course of their GTS 300 conversion. Helpful tips from the custom professionals of Cafe Racer 69 with tricks for installing the Vespa GTS oil pan:

Vespa Gts 300 hpe "British Classic" Teil 5 – Ölwanne schwarz Einbau

So this is how the conversion works:

Drain oil
Detaching the air filter box
Unscrew vario cover
Unscrew oil pan
Clean sealing surface (knife or fine sandpaper, degrease)
put on a new gasket (without additional sealing compound)
now reassemble in reverse order

Note:

See video above. Use correct screws, replace spring, observe tightening torque: M6 screws oil pan: 10-14Nm.

Individual Vespa GTS conversion, tuning – Vespa GTS Custom

Modern Vespa, News

Vespa GTS conversion, tuning -> Vespa GTS custom scooter

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

The Vespa has been a collector’s item since the 50s, and the owner has always liked to individualize it. For the conversion of the Vespa, accessories and add-on parts such as mirrors, crash bars, speedometers, badges, anti-theft devices, decorative trims, heatable handles, child seats, passenger seats, fuel gauges and chrome accessories from manufacturers such as Ardor, Appel, Ulma and Vigano were used.

In the 80s

In England, a movement is sprouting up with mods and the Scooterboys, which will soon spill over the channel into Germany and the rest of Europe and will cast a spell over them.
Vespa / Piaggio itself now offers a range of accessories.

There’s no accounting for taste! Some people overdid it a little bit in the wild 80s and screwed everything to their Vespa, which the accessory market offered.

The 90s and 2000s

This is the birth of the Scooter Center: 1992. The Scooter scene is at its zenith in Germany and Europe. Thousands meet on weekends at scooter meetings = Scooterruns, like the SCOOTERDIVE and many other events to celebrate the vehicles, the music, themselves and the lifestyle

Customshows” take place, in the off-season these are independent events with previous and / or following party = Nighter. At the scooter customshow the elaborately converted scooters are exhibited and judged by a jury. The biggest customshows were e.g. in Hamburg, Munich or the Extravaganza in the Ruhr area and of course since 2008 also our Scootershow in Cologne.

Today: 2020 Modern Vespa models

Until today not much has changed: The modern Vespa is more powerful and the engine tuning becomes a little more complex due to the introduction of digital engine control, but the urge for individualisation and optimisation of the Vespa is unbroken. Not without reason: For years the Vespa has regularly been leading the sales list of motorcycles, naturally you want to stand out from the crowd! And the chassis of the Vespa GTS, for example, has clear potential for optimisation. Not for nothing, our bgm PRO shock absorbers are test winners and bestsellers for the GTS. Also LED indicators and LED headlights for GTS & Co are gladly converted.

In our Vespa Shop we offer you with our own brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA and selected accessories and tuning suppliers (like 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.

Do you already know our specials – catalogues?

Then as now, there are of course stages of individualisation. You can do a lot yourself, but if you are talking about an extreme custom project, you are well advised to consult a professional. Like for example our partner Cafe Racer 69 from Berlin:

Cafe Racer 69

At Cafe Racer 69 in Berlin you get a professional individualization of your Vespa. As already mentioned, even with the current Vespa models, be it 125 or 300, Vespa GTS or Vespa Primavera & Vespa Sprint, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the standard condition. Also because the creative Berlin team is supplied by us with e.g. bgm & Moto Nostra, you can be sure to get only the highest quality parts!

Engine power,
Drive,
Chassis
Brakes,
Painting
etc.

The Berliners also offer pure optic tuning of your Vespa. The purely optical changes can be e.g.

Powder-coated
Attachments,
Trims,
Fittings,
Benches
etc.

Vespa GTS Tuning with TÜV

Our bgm PRO shock absorbers for Vespa GTS are of course TÜV approved. For changes to the chassis, brakes and rims it is sometimes also necessary to adapt the axle mounts. These adaptations for a roadworthy seat without track offset and adaptations of ABS & ASR always require a technical approval by an expert (DEKRA, TÜV) and can be done at Cafe Racer 69.

Variomatic Vespa GTS bgm PRO Vespa Piaggio 250-300 cc Quasar engines

Automatik 4-Takt, Modern Vespa, Vespa

bgm PRO Variomatic for Piaggio Quasar engines, e.g. Vespa GTS

with extra long translation bandwidth
perfect draught and
high rear wheel power.

The bgm PRO variomatic uses a shorter and Kevlar reinforced V-belt than usual for Quasar engines. This allows our Vario to run a much wider range of ratios without the V-belt being able to touch the housing, as is the case with a Malossi Vario. As a result, the bgm Vario can drive a much wider range of ratios without the engine having to turn higher. A huge advantage, especially when the engine needs further tuning.

Engine power directly at the rear wheel

The countless bench and road tests have shown that the 250/300cc Quasar engines do not require a harder or different back pressure spring than the standard one. This means that the entire engine power is not lost in frictional heat but ends up where it belongs: at the rear wheel.

vespa-gts-leistung-vergleich

vespa-gts-bgm-polini-leistung-vergleich

Vespa GTS Variomatic Test

With the Piaggio series variomatic, the engine runs into the governor much earlier. The power is therefore maintained much longer when looking at the speed axis, which is noticeable in a higher final speed.

Compared to the Polini set, the bgm Vario does not work at an artificially increased speed level to get an aha effect. The Polini Vario unfortunately buys its (too) high speed level with a worse efficiency.

Maintaining the same acceleration speed as the standard engine results in our bgm Vario-Kit, so that the engine is not loaded higher and the power output is pleasantly linear. In everyday use the superiority of the bgm Vario-Kit is clearly demonstrated in a direct 1:1 comparison.

PMT tyres – uncompromising sports and racing tyres for scooters

Have you driven the new PMT tyres yet? If you are also in scooter racing, you will know about the enormous importance of the tyres.

It is not only the tread pattern that matters, but especially the right rubber compound. The optimal tyre is tuned:

matching the weather
suitable for the track
suitable for the vehicle
suitable for the driving style and ability

We now have a wide range of tyres from PMT Tyres

The enormous difference in performance of tyres in motorsport is immediately obvious to anyone who has tried the legendary PMT tyres.

Buy tyres now to be ready for the race track

Made in Italy: PMT Tyres

The Italian tyre manufacturer PMT (Pauselli Modell Tyres) has been in existence since 1990, originally producing tyres for RC cars and the popular Italian minibike racing series. Since they have also developed tyres for motorcycles and especially racing tyres for scooters, they have very quickly achieved a top position among the favourite tyres of racing drivers. The PMT tyres are available in perfect compounds for the various soil, weather and temperature conditions.

Slick, mixture: hard

The slick with hard compound is ideal for tracks with high asphalt temperatures and heavy use due to many exchange bends and braking manoeuvres. The hard compound is the most abrasion resistant and can therefore be used very well in Endurance / long distance races. The warm-up phase for the optimum operating temperature (~ 80° C) is significantly longer with this compound than with the “medium” or “soft” compound.
The recommended air pressure for front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, mixture: medium

The medium bridges the gap between the hard and persistent as well as the extremely well adhering but also quickly wearing soft mixture. The medium thus covers a very wide range of applications. Its optimum operating temperature is ~ 75°C and, like the hard compound, requires a longer running-in time than the soft compound to reach temperature.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, compound: soft

The soft PMT compound offers full grip even at lower temperatures. It wears out correspondingly quickly at higher temperatures and then no longer offers its full grip level. On the other hand, it reaches its optimum operating temperature of 70°C very quickly.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and between 1.4-1.9 bar for the rear.

Slick, rain

PMT offers with the Rain Slick a new interpretation of an intermediate. Based on the rubber compound of the pure rain tyre, an intermediate with slick tread pattern has been created. It is ideal for changeable weather conditions with the same proportion of wet and dry sections.
The recommended inflation pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Rain Racing

The rain tyre from PMT plays in the highest league of rain experts for the circuit.
Whoever mounted this tyre needs a good excuse if it didn’t work out with a good placement…
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Drag race

The Drag Race tyres from PMT are ideal for all quartermill engines.
Here no grip is lost and all power is transferred to the asphalt without slip.
This also means that there is no mercy for clutch or gearbox..

Moto Nostra LED headlights for Vespa GTS black with E-marking

Modern Vespa, News, Vespa

LED headlight black

The Moto Nostra LED headlamp for Vespa GTS with E9 marking (road approval) and powerful high/low beam and position light is now also available in black:

6x higher luminosity & easy mounting

Thanks to its greatly increased light output, the headlamp offers you a significant plus in safety with less power consumption. Of course our Moto Nostra headlight has an E-mark and can therefore be used legally in road traffic without further TÜV/Dekra approval.
Thanks to easy mounting you can also install the headlight yourself: here you can find the installation instructions for LED headlight GTS

Buy black LED headlight here

Advantage of LED headlights on the Vespa GTS

The light output of the Vespa GTS models is 65 watts with the standard headlight bulb.
The luminosity measured in lumens is around the value 100.

The LED headlight has a luminosity almost six times as high (600/650 lumens). The power consumption is only 20Watt. In this way a considerably better illumination can be achieved. Another advantage is that the battery is loaded 66% less. So there is still a lot of reserve for other consumers.

Luminosity 600 / 650 lumen
Voltage: 12 Volt DC (direct current)
Power consumption: 1.8A/1.3A
Power consumption: 21.5W/15W/1.9W
fits without modifications in all Vespa GT/GTS models (until 2018)

Windshield disc for Vespa GTS HPE

Modern Vespa, Vespa

Does the Vespa GTS disc also fit on a Vespa HPE?

Our small sport discs with TÜV for the Vespa GTS are very popular. Many owners of the new Vespa HPE wonder if they can mount the great little flyscreen on their new HPE.

The windshield is available in black, tinted and clear with black or with holders in chrome:

MN2512BB (black holder, black lens)
MN2512BMB (black holder, tinted glass)
MN2512BW (black holder, clear lens)
MN2512B (chrome holder, black lens)
MN2512MB (holder chrome, tinted glass)
MN2512W (holder chrome, clear lens)

Answer

Yes! the disc fits on a Vespa HPE – a small modification provided.

Why does the bracket not fit without modification?

The normal mounting kit sits too close to the handlebar fairing on the HPE models.

Solution: Install and adjust the pane now

If you want to install the windscreen on your Vespa HPE right now, it is possible! By a small modification of the clamp on the holder by grinding, milling, the necessary distance to the handlebar fairing can be created here.

However, the expert opinion on the windshield has not yet been extended to the HPE models – but is in progress.

Only the two lower blocks are affected by this necessary change. This means installation position at the bottom right and bottom left.

You can easily make this small adjustment yourself. To do this, please simply remove the disc and modify the holder, see pictures

New bracket for Vespa HPE

Of course we have developed a new mounting kit for the GTS HPE!

The HPE bracket kit fits even better from the angle to the headlight and then also has the modified clamps to allow sufficient clearance between the pistons and the handlebar fairing. We are currently unable to give an exact delivery date for the matching pane from HPE, but we expect delivery in the middle of this year.

The key spiral – a classic newly discovered

I had one – everyone used to have one and it was ‘cool’, the key spiral! And this video makes my heart race:

New spiral key ring from MOTO NOSTRA by Scooter Center

We scooter riders, mods & scooterboys quickly discovered this practical spiral for us: because the different key types for ignition lock, steering lock and/or luggage compartment lock can be connected flexibly but safely.

With this super lanyard, all keys form a unit, but do not hinder each other during operation: ignition key and steering lock/luggage compartment key remain in their lock and are connected by the key spiral. So each of the two keys is quickly at hand and the flexible PVC material protects the paint.

Scooter Spiral Key2

Scooter Spiral Key1

We have the key spirals in 15cm-60cm (the 15cm version can be stretched to 60cm) and 30cm-100cm (the 30cm version can be stretched to 100cm) length. The coloured versions are translucent, i.e. they are coloured but still transparent.

Fitted with a key ring on both sides.

TIP : Also ideal to attach e.g. the house and car keys to the trousers!
TIP : The tape can be deformed with a hair dryer at will, e.g. if the angled end should be straight.
