Winter time is service time. The same procedure every winter, our beloved Sscooters need a service, repair or maybe a full restoration so that they will be back on the road for the first rideouts.

The floorboard area and the floorboard runners are a service intense area of ​​our Vespas. Rust and dirt are just one side of the story. The runners are easy to remove but when it comes to remount them again we have only few choices. We either chose bolts and nuts or pop rivets but the results of these two methods are not the best.

We now have the ultimate tool for you. The outstanding riveter tool made in Austria with which you can handle both flat and round rivets. By using the rivet tool you prevent the paint damage that would otherwise be caused by old pop rivet tools. At last, a quick and clean work area shall make possible. An additional feature of the riveter tool is that you can also use it for mounting the original badges on the legshield.

We do have some great floor board runner sets available in our shop. Please also watch the video of the riveter floor runner tool:

the classic mirror for our beloved Vespa is finally available in black. It is mounted under the steering head and offers impeccable views to the rear. A truly effective left rearview mirror in original form with E-mark. This fits many Vespas smallframe and largeframe models. Now you finally have the overview you need and all in a stunning black design.

Check the mirror in our online shop.

Finally available again! For a long time, the side panels were not available, but now we have received a few from an old stock. Get one now before it's too late!

Sporting look for your Vespa PX, yes please. The side panel of the 4-stroke LML models have four air vents in order to cope with the high heat of the 4-stroke cylinder head which needs more cooling air. This is also a great feature for your 2-stroke tuning measures.

This side panel fits on the Vespa PX models from 1983 onwards, whose panels are already locked in a so-called internal shutter. In order to fit the LML side panels to be to the PX EFL models, we recommend to move the rear retaining pin of the side panel by about 11mm downwards. For old PX models this modification is not necessary.

The winter and new projects may come now. Finally we have the floorboard incl leg shield for Vespa SS90 and SS50 available again.

Finally we can offer you a fast and high quality solution to get your Vespaback to it's former glory. First water floorboard including legshield. Thus the restoration of your winter project can continue. The coachbuilder will thank you with a much smaller bill, since it is less time consuming with the help of our restoration kit.

We do have a conversion kit In order to change the original fitted 8 inch tires Vespa on the larger and more modern 10-inch tires. At the tail the conversion is done very quickly with the conversion of the brake drum and dust sheet (or the complete installation of an PX, Sprint or Rally engine). At the front, however, it is a bit more complicated.

Here one has the choice between keeping everything in the style of the original fork or directly convert to a different, more modern fork, for example, the Vespa PK one. The simplest method is to use the original existing fork and continue to update it with the appropriate conversion kit which you can find in our shop.

The spring and the shock absorber can be kept original. With the conversion to ten inches one has already gained valuable ground clearance, the installation which creates enough room for a racing exhaust.

Old Vespas are often affected with rust at the floor board, this is available as a spare repair part for most models. We've floorboards of premium quality in stock so that your restoration is no missing out of the important bit. These floorboards are equipped with beams and reinforcements.

Ludwig & Scherer are THE two-stroke exhaust specialists! Especially for the Smallframe engines, their products seem to turn into instant classics. Their official first release, the “Hammmerzombie”, is our evergreen when it comes to powering Smallframes.The "Big Bertha" was developed for Parmakit's SP09 cylinder. Power unfolds continuously on a wide power band, easily surpassing the 20 hp mark. The "Franz" is state of the art at the moment for really powerful engines with a broad power band. With exhaust port timings of 190 ° -185 ° it works best. With a ported Polini 133cc cast barrel, 54mm bgm crankshaft, Vespatronic ignition and 30mm Mikuni carb (main 290, needle 5EN68, pilot jet 20) our Alex has achieved 27 hp at the rear wheel. Workmanship, mountings, muffler and fit leave nothing to be desired. The exhaust are available for scoots with the small luggage box on the left hand side as well as for those without it.

And as if there is no stopping them: their latest exhaust - the "Fire magic" reached Alex at the last minute! In direct comparison to “Franz” the exhaust starts slightly later but has a visibly higher peak and achieves a 1,000 rpm wider band. 29 hp with the cast iron Polini is worth mentioning! We recommend 128 ° for the port transfer and 192 ° at the exhaust port. Workmanship, mountings, muffler and fit leave nothing to be desired!

New in stock: Speedo up to 100mph

This speedo was originaly designed for the GTV Vespa. Nevertheless, it does fit to all Vespa PX Lusso and PK XL models. Retro design and colors make this speedo a nice accesory for your Vespa. With a speed indication up to 100 miles per hour, this should even be enough for all hardcore tuning scooterists. In order to fit it to the classic models it is necesarry to us the speedo plug from the PX Millennium models. The original speedo cable can still be used.

This spare wheel carrier might be familiar to you from your last Spain vacation. A really beautiful and classic way to mount a spare tire on your Smallframe vespa In addition, the usual holder often leads to limited space behind the leg shield.

That's why we stocked this save shell carrier in our program.

The sturdy holder is bolted to the frame at 6 points.

The package includes two rubber pads.

As an aid to mark the necessary holes at the rear one can use one of the holes for the tail light.

Even the rear light in antique style can be installed by drilling an additional hole.

With the new bgm PRO Cosa clutch for the PX engines, clutch problems with original Piaggio and replica parts now belong to the past.

Without adjusting the clutch cover too much reinforced basket fits into your engine.

New wave design, 10 springs and a clutch basket made of nitride steel are the ingredients for a reliable clutch.

In order to immediately be able to influence changes and quality of the components, the bgm clutch components are manufactured in Germany.

The delivery of the complete clutch includes a new woodruff key, a suitable clutch nut and an O-ring for the clutch cover.

As of now we can offer you ready for installation, functional and reliable clutches with 20,21, 22, 23 and XNUMX teeth.

Although, as you can see in the picture above, the basket is increased considerably but the clutch cover only has to be modified slightly. In the picture below marked in red.

Whether or how much of the casting nose has to be removed depends on the manufacturing tolerances of Piaggio. The overall stability is maintained and the clutch cover does not need not have a wall thickness of less than 1 mm.

With the small PX engine casings of the PX80 and early PX125 / 150 models, as usual the little casting nose has to be removed for the conversion to the bigger clutches.

The BGM PRO clutch is fitted with 10 reinforced springs, and therefore covers a power range for engines with 20PS + / 22Nm +.

By the corrugated version of the hub the power is safely transferred to the clutch basket.

Therefore the hub of our bgm clutch is always made in accordance with the present bushings and pressed in order to ensure a permanently durable seat.

Of course you can also assemble yours own bgm clutch according to to your needs.

We offer you a wide selection of DRT and standard sprockets, and springs and base pairings.

After the Lambretta bgm & MB Developments BIG BOX exhaust project was as far that we can't do anything more than waiting for the manufacturer and sending reminders every then and now, we thought to move on.

During the early 90ties we sold quite a few T5 and P 200 conversions that Mark did for us. Along the loads of Lambretta conversions. but back to the plot we thought a BIG BOX for the Vespa would be nice and have send some sets of shells to Doncaster. After the Eurolambretta Maks started to weld his ideas into the new BIG BOX. Monday morning it arrived and we started dyno'ing.

We tested on these engines so far:

Here is a selection of some dyno sheets. Uwe did a lot more and we will post some in the next few days!

Hope you like it!

For the modern Vespa GTS or GTV we do have some nice accessories in our shop. A few Carbon Style features which suit this scooter very well. "Chrome won't bring you home, but matt-black will bring you back"! We do have mounted those parts on a Vespa GTS 300 ie in order to demonstrate the look.

The German and Italian markets are now equipped with a relatively thin choice of second hand classic Vespa vehicles.

Therefore, we have obtained for you a few Primavera ET3 models.

The ET3 models produced in the 1980s for the export market are a small special in the Piaggio range of models. While the European market was flooded with the PK 125 model the remaining ET3 were shipped to Japan.

Factory equipped with Handle bar indicators and the engine is a special as well. A ETS engine with 2 gear cables is pushing the bikes forward.

Due to the stable ETS crankshaft and the PX Lima bearing, the motor is already an interesting basis for a powerful motor touring setup with Polini 133 & Co

The ladies have been manufactured for export only in this execution ...

and must now, after having a long way to us, be assembled together.

Today we had a real beauty on our Dyno. A Vespa Rally 200.

The aim of this project was to get a tractor torque engine for daily driving.

Base what a vespa PX200 motor, the rotary valve in the housing has been expanded for more discreet inlet angle before TDC. Crankshaft is genuine PX200 crank with 57mm stroke.

The new 210 Polini is filled by a Si26 carb With Polini induction funnel.

because of the Polini induction funnel the available torque in the lower rev range stands out very clearly. The same engine with a Malossi cylinder without the Polini funnel is “missing” almost 4Nm in the same rpm range!

The alloy Polini is supported by a SIP Road exhaust.

From idle speed the engine has proper torque and power.

15hp and 23Nm from 4500 rpm speak for themselves.

With a taller Primary gear the torque can be stretched and relatively high speeds can be achieved at low rpm.

Nice setup!

BGM Faster Flow 900ml / min

BGM Faster Flow 900ml / minThe fuel supply of the Vespa Largeframe models is due to the small difference in height between the tank and the carburetor float chamber level still somewhat problematic.

If the motor is converted to another type of carburetor the float bowl sits even higher than the original SI counterpart. With petrol hungry engines, this can quickly lead to an insufficient supply, leading to a lean mixture, and this in turn in the worst case result in engine damage.

A key choke point in the fuel flow is of course the fuel tap. The original case has a flow rate of nearly 300ml / min. This would of course be sufficient even for the most powerful engine. A consumption of 300ml / min equals to 18 liters an hour.

VIDEO

With the PX, Rally, Sprint, and similar design models, it is more likly speaking of a minimization of flow resistance in order to always have a high pressure on the carburetor. We did a test in order to illustrate the flow rate of an experimental setup with three different fuel taps. The result was quite clear.

The golden rule was for motors, which are much stronger than the original engine, at least 400ml / min are desirable as flow rate.

Our new Faster flow fuel tap not only doubled that amount, he lays 100ml / min on top of that! Thus he has double the flow rate of a conventional fast flow fuel tap and an incredible three times the amount compared to an original one!

This makes it an ideal addition to all the powerful setups and provides a secure base to supply gasoline to prevent problems in the beginning.

The fuel valve is available in two variants:

  1. With reserve position (BGM3030)
  2. With electronic reserve (BGM3031)
BGM fuel tap Faster Flow 900ml / min

Finally the new Qattrini C1 Smallframe Engine casings are available.
For all tuning scooterists out there a must have.

In the past few years the Smallframe tuning becomes more and more versatile.
Smallframe Engines with more than 40hp are no longer unique nowadays. The original Piaggio engine casings were produced for power around 10hp. The power given through cylinder kits like PARMAKIT, falc or qattrini are just too much for the original casings.

Quattrini has met demands and developed a very sophisticated engine housing ..

We are going to show you the new features below.

The first eye-catching feature is the adapter for a mechanical water pump to install water-cooled cylinders.
If you make use of the classical forced air cooling, Quattrini also included an aluminum plug to close the bore of the pump.

The area around the floating ports and the cylinder base is made considerably more massive in order to prevent casing failure or cracks.

Quattrini already spindled the cylinder base to 64.8 mm diameter and 17.5 mm deep.
Including a range up to 21mm deep, which is suitable for the original spindled cylinder base diameter.

The area around the engine mount is adjusted so that you can use it Tires in the dimension of 3.50 × 10.

To compensate for the weakening of the engine mount through the heel, this was reinforced with 4 solid ribs.

The two housing halves are connected with two center pins and M6 screws, which will prevent the mounting with separate nuts. Because of the cast membrane and the lack of box centered on the crankcase cover gasket also eliminates the paper based engine seal. Common practice today is to use sealant in order to put the engine together sealant. We recommend from experience Dirko HT.

Condition as supplied to customers the casings are ready to use with direct intake cylinders. Additionally Quattrini also designed a box for all friends of membrane intake.
The connection to the crankcase must be machined if required, however, on its own power out.

Unfortunately, until now it is not absolutely clear which membrane can be used.
Therefore, we have already taken care of a solution and started to adjust aRD350 and V Force³ Membrane.

Regarding the gear shift Quattrini stayed with the good old 2 cable technique.

The heart of the whole new design is based on the 48mm broadend crankshaft with 51mm rod.
This measure ensures that the press dimension of crank pin increases significantly
and the crankshaft is turning resistance in terms of not being twisted.
The high quality 102mm conrod round off the overall good impression. The dimension of the center crankshaft bearing and cylinder base sealing is 69mm and is thus provided for the use of 102mm connecting rod.

As crankshaft bearings we are using 6304TN9C4 on both sides.
It is also conceivable to mount a NU205 on the generator side, but we do not recommend it.

The crankcase is additionally sealed with 2 oil seals from both sides with the dimensions 20x35x7. Here we can offer you seals in good old FPM quality.

Depending on the ignition used for this engine, a whole set for the cable must be made in the dynamo casing.

The air channel has already been changed for the use of Race Exhaust.

After the spectacular performance of the Quattrini engine casings at the start of the ESC season in Mirecourt, we are curious to see who is using them first.
