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

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

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.

HARMONIOUS
The harmonious basic tuning of the BGM PRO SC SPORT suspension is convincing. The basic tuning of shock absorbers and spring constant were adjusted to a sporty driving style on roads, perfectly balancing sporty and daily riding styles. The front absorber even is an improved copy of the BGM PRO SC COMPETITION series. Rebound damping can be adjusted 16-fold.

DIRECT
The BGM PRO SC SPORT suspension reduces diving while braking, which usually is characteristic for scooters. It also reduces horizontal shaking when accelerating. This results in unadulterated directness, which, in combination with a sportier handling, leads to more safety and enjoyment.

SIMPLE
The slim line of the front absorber’s compensation container is intentional. It makes a quick and easy assembly possible without the need to take off brake hoses.

E-PASS
The BGM PRO SC SPORT shock absorbers come with a KBA (German Federal Powered Vehicle Agency) approval and e-pass to grant pure relish without regrets. These approvals allow you to directly ride your scooter after assembling the shock absorbers according to the requirements in the e-pass. No need to register, you have to carry the e-pass along.

  • with KBA (German Federal Powered Vehicle Agency) approval / e-pass (no registration needed!)
  • high strength alloy, CNC machined
  • hard-anonized surfaces for perfect protection
  • already perfectly adjusted
  • front rebound damping adjustable 16-fold
  • sporty-harmonious damping technology
  • high-quality parts for a long life
  • massive 12.5 mm piston rod
  • stepless adjustable spring preload
  • set ready to install

TECHNOLOGY
The SPORT series inherited its technologic features from its big brother BGM PRO SC COMPETITION shock absorbers. The SPORT is also made of the same massive 12.5 mm piston rod and high strength and anti corrosion alloy body, which was additionally hard-anonized and is supplied in stylish mat black.

Conclusion:
Sporty comfortable shock absorber with approval and unrivalled cost-benefit ratio!

Installation guide Vespa shock absorbers

Easy installation of the new suspension

Installing these shock absorbers is relatively easy. We have summed some hints and the most important steps of installation up for you:

In order to guarantee a well and safe installation you should place your Vespa on a level and firm ground.

08.01.2016 182

In order to exchange the front shock absorber, the front wheel should be freely accessible. It would be easiest to either shim your Vespa under the frame or to use a jack to lift the front wheel. By doing so you can jack up your Vespa without someone to help.

08.01.2016 185

Unscrewing the five screws of the front wheel rim is easiest when the front wheel is blocked.

08.01.2016 208

Do you have a lock for the brake lever? In that case this security lock could be the substitute for a third hand. This task can also be accomplished by cargo lashing or, if you don’t have anything else, by cable straps. A blocked front wheel will also come in handy when working at the rear. Your scooter won’t roll away.

08.01.2016 220

08.01.2016 221

First use an angled hex wrench to unscrew the lower two mounting screws.

08.01.2016 289

Next are the two nuts of the upper shock mount. Once you took these off, you can easily remove the shock absorber in direction of the front wheel.

08.01.2016 286

To loosen the upper nut, you may hold the shock absorber at the dome top cap.

08.01.2016 163

Once you removed the upper mount, quickly check the silent rubbers. The rubbers are hard or brittle? It would be best to replace them. 08.01.2016 167

The BGM shock absorber also has two assembly aids, which can be used to hold the absorber during installation. 08.01.2016 172

You must not hold the absorber’s piston rod with pliers or any similar tool. Marks on the surface of the piston rod caused by a tool, would immediately lead the shock absorber to leak when snapping in.

Once the mount is installed, you may place the absorber from the side of the wheel. BGM shock absorbers are supplied with spacer shims to make up for gaps between shock absorber and brake caliper.

08.01.2016 296

08.01.2016 298

Should you need the spacer, you may first fix it with a screw through the lower hole and then place the absorber on top of the mount of the brake caliper and the spacer shim.

08.01.2016 307

Once the screw in the upper hole and the spacer shim fixes the shock absorber, you may correctly position and fix the absorber. 08.01.2016 308

The steering tube secures the screws of the upper mount.

08.01.2016 310

Simply secure the mounts of the shock absorber with nuts from below.

08.01.2016 312

Once you reinstalled the front wheel with the five hex socket screws, you may now address the rear shock absorbers.

The lower mount of the shock absorber is hidden on the left hand side of the vehicle behind the air filter box.

08.01.2016 314

You have to lift the air filter box to access the mount.

To lift the air filter box you need to unscrew the two back screws and loosen the front screw. You don’t need to fully remove the air filter box.

The exhaust on the right hand side of the Vespa blocks access to the lower shock mount.

08.01.2016 242

Beware: Did you just go for a ride on your Vespa? It would be better to postpone your work until exhaust and engine have cooled down.

The exhaust is fixed with three screws and the clamp of the manifold. Wires of the lambda sensor or cooling hoses might be close to the clamp. Please watch out and don’t damage these parts.

It would be handy to loosen the clamp of the manifold first, before unscrewing the screws of the rear swing arm, which fix the exhaust body.

Please watch out: when unscrewing the last screw, the exhaust might fall down. You can now pull the exhaust from the manifold.

GTS shock35

Original Piaggio exhausts have a graphite gasket between exhaust and manifold. This gasket is sensitive to mechanic strains and should be replaced in case of visible damage.

08.01.2016 402

In order to remove the shock absorber from the frame, you have to remove the helmet box and the cover of the seat lock.

You can simply lift the helmet box.

Four screws fix the back cover to the vehicle.

08.01.2016 328

Once you removed the screws, you only need to take off the cover of the tank cap.

Just in case, put the cover immediately back on the fuel filler.

You will find the upper fixation points of the two shock absorbers on the right and on the left of the seat lock. Please check the secure stand of your Vespa, before removing them. The front wheel should be blocked and should touch the ground.

08.01.2016 336

Loosening the two upper fix points of the shock absorber will cause the engine to lower down. So please watch the shims and silent rubbers.

After removing the nut you can simply pull the shock absorber from the bolt of the swing arm. Pull downwards out of the frame.

You will find another silent rubber on the shock absorber. After a short -positive- check, it can be reused. 08.01.2016 367

When removing the left shock absorber you have to watch out for the two bushes of the lower mount.

Lightswitch 564

Place these two bushes in the eye of the BGM shock absorber. These two bushes are obligatory for a safe installation of the left shock absorber.

Watch out for the correct alignment of the lower mounts.

When watching from behind in direction of travel, the mounts are placed to the right at both absorbers. LH shock Vespa GTS

The sequence of installation remains the same for the upper mount. The silent rubber is followed by the large shim. Now secure the absorber with the two included nuts.

08.01.2016 371

Once you reassembled the cover of the seat lock, helmet box, exhaust and air filter box, you may start with test rides for your suspension.

MADE-TO-MEASURE

The bag for GTS models and its variants GT/GTL was made-to-measure using high quality Cordura nylon. Vast 28 litres of storage volume mean a large luggage compartment, which can be perfectly used from the top.

WEATHER-PROOF & STURDY

The patented Cordura nylon is extremely wear resistant and sturdy. It is water-repellent and dries quickly. Zips are watertight and offer an overall protection of weather.

MULTI FUNCTIONAL

The bag can also be used as bag pack. This means that you can easily take valuable objects with you.

SAFE

There are four attach points, which grant a tight attachment of the bag to the vehicle at high speed, too. A standard luggage hook and the seat nose, as well as the supplied LOXX screws are used to attach the bag. These replace the screws of the inspection cover. Their spherical head is also part of the smart attaching system..

HANDY

You can still easily open the seat with the bag attached. Filling up the gas tank is possible with the bag attached. A width of 39cm is also no problem. There is sufficient space for your feet, also on a long tour.

Beste Vespa Tasche

STORAGE SPACE

The luggage compartment has a volume of 28 litres and is equipped with nice lining, which makes packing quick and easy without objects being caught. An additional compartment for odds and ends is perfect for mobile phones, a separate glasses case with Velcro keeps sunglasses easy at hand.

ATTACHING

The bag is easily attached. You only need a so-called torx screwdriver size T25 (often part of a car toolbox) and a fork-wrench spanner or a ring wrench in wrench size 9.

QUALITY

The bag is made of Cordura, which is in terms of outdoor quality beyond all doubt. Combined with fine and neat processing this bag offers a real added value, since it can be used for years.

CONCLUSION

First choice for tourers and others. The Sea’n’Sand foot well bag will most certainly be the reason to do the next shopping with your scooter and not the car!
