We have been on Italy tour for you again. This time we have been heading for Parma in Emiglia-Romagna. And just as it has been the case for our visit of the Rimini Lambretta Center, we haven't seen much of the scenery.

PARMAKIT had already visited us and had a booth at our Custom show in Cologne. Now was the time to visit them in Italy. Currently you can still take part in us PARMAKIT - raffle

“Dolce Vita”, “Bella Italia” and “sun always shines in Italy”?
Not at all. At the beginning of May we had snow on the Brenner Pass and rain in Parma. But a warm welcome at PARMAKIT made us feel a lot better and we were allowed to take a look behind the scenes of the renowned company. We were overwhelmed by them know-how, diversity but especially by quality and performance of their products.

Just as we take it with BGM, PARMAKIT cooperates with companies and suppliers in the region to ensure a constantly high level of quality.

vespa-scooter-reserve-canister_1-scooter-center

Summertime is the time to travel. Have you ever been in that situation, fearing that the petrol left in your tank won't last until the next petrol station? Have you even ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? We know this problem and therefore searched for a solution - and found it:

Today we would like to introduce a reasonable add-on to your tool kit:

Extremely Handy Transportable Jerry Cans

Our Hünersdorff Jerry Cans "Made in Germany can usually be filled with a petrol nozzle at the petrol station and have a volume of 1 liter, 2 liters or 3 liters, which comes with the certainty to get to the next opened petrol station.

1 liter jerry can

The 1 liter Fuel Friend is equipped with two very handy phones flaps on the sides, in order to attach the jerry can safe to the scooter. For a Vespa or Lambretta this happens for example under or on the seat, for a Vespa GTS or Gilera Runner in the luggage box or, according to the type of scooter, the jerry can be attached under the fairing or to the frame. Thanks to the flaps there are no limits to your creativity.

Very sturdy jerry cans

All FuelFriend cans are very sturdy - a double skin makes it feel like a jerry can from the petrol station but not to be compared in quality. vespa-scooter-reserve-canister_2-scooter-center

2 liter jerry can

We offer two different 2 liter jerry cans:

Fuel Friend 2 liter jerry can

This transportable Jerry Can has a large mouth and can be filled with petrol nozzles at the petrol station.vespa-scooter-reserve-canister_3-scooter-center

Hünersdorff 2 liter jerry can with integrated spout

This standard Hünersdorff jerry can does not have a large mouth and has to be filled by the help of a funnel. Goal something special is hidden beneath its small cap: If you detach the cap, you will find a small snorkel. You pull this integrated spout out of the can, which enables you to cleanly fill your tank with petrol.

The Hünersdorff 2 liter jerry can also has a flap to securely attach it to the scooter. Which is missing for the 2 liter “Fuel Friend”.

3 liter jerry can

The 3 liter transportable jerry can is traditionally shaped. Even this three liter jerry can still be fitted in the glove box of a Vespa PX EFL or LML Star. You have to place it vertically - the can won't leak and on a long ride out three liters of additional petrol really calms you down!

Comparison in size

1 liter / 3 liter / 2 liter

Jerry can in the Vespa glove box

Here you can see some pictures of fitting a jerry can and a can of oil in a Vespa PX EFL / T5. 1/2/3 liter jerry can, 1 liter oil and the tool kit easily fit in.

Mobile phone add-on

This isn't meant to be a “Do you also need a leather care product for your new shoes? - trick ”: It really is a helpful and handy add-on to your jerry can.

Safety fuel filler

The safety fuel filler, or to put in the words of Hündersdorff “filling system for fuel”, fits all standard Hünersdorff jerry cans from 1 to 20 liters.vespa-scooter-reserve-canister_10-scooter-center

Safe and clean thanks to automatic ventilation

It's annoying when the mix of petrol and oil drops next to the tank! This is not only an ecological and economic waste, but also harms the paint of the scooter. Using the Safety fuel filler for jerry cans puts an end to this.

There is an easy explanation: The fuel filler is equipped with an automatic ventilation. A feature you know from racing: Turn the can around and it won't leak. Only when you push the fuel filler on the tank, the lid will open and petrol is being filled in the tank. When you stop putting pressure on the filler, the jerry can is sealed and won't leak.

vespa-scooter-reserve-canister_13

The air used for ventilation flows through a central opening, while the petrol runs into the tank through openings on the sides. When reducing pressure, a rubber seal will prevent further drops.

Jerry cans for more than 3 liters

You need a jerry can for the car, garage or racetrack? You can find any Jerry Can in the Scooter Center ScootersHop.

Swing arm Piaggio Maxi Engine Gilera Runner and Co.

Good news for performance fetishists and lovers of Piaggio automatic two-stroke engines.

For you, we further developed ours BGM PRO swing arm to reinforce the engine case, optimized it and have it produced in a new design:

Swing arm BGM PRO Superstrong Piaggio 125-180cc 2-stroke BGM7900N

BGM7900N (4)

The legendary BGM PRO swing arm

bgm pro swing arm

This idea originated during the construction phase of our shop demonstrator. A reasonable reinforcement of the engine case was particularly needed for the 50 hp strong twin.

usage notes

As for the previous version, some things have to be considered in order to link the swing arm to your engine while protecting the large, and now rare, Piaggo two-stroke engines:

  • fits Piaggio 125-180 engines with disc brake
  • exhaust support at engine case needs to be adapted
  • Exhaust systems need to be adapted for assembly
Order your swing arm here

Easy assembly

First, the engine case has to be adapted. The easiest way is to "adjust" the screw, which is screwed through the support from behind, with a gap of 5mm.

BGM7900N_2 BGM7900N_5 BGM7900N_4

For security reasons you should, as a trial, assemble and check, if it runs parallel to the surface at the Vario cover. Shortening by at least 5 mm is usually always necessary. Depending on the combination of assembly parts, the gap may vary and be up to 10mm wide.

BGM7900N_2

Fastening the rear wheel

The two-row self-aligning ball bearing can be fitted at a maximum angle of 5 °. The swing arm comes with longer screws to fit the rear wheel. The screws should be fitted with liquid screw locking.

BGM7900N

Security advice

The swing arm was produced for race use only.

There are many variations of hubs, rims and engine cases on the market.
Therefore we advise you to Thoroughly check if the parts fit before the assembly and finally to very thoroughly assemble the parts.
