Morning all,
I removed the mirrors from the PX yesterday, but didnt realise it had fixings inside the headset, i expected to just unscrew below and above.
I'm assuming many of you have done this, and am hoping its an easy job which i plan to do tonight.
I'm thinking i must have to open up the headset? any tips.......
with my last new vespa i got them to remove them before i picked it up, but thought i'd give them a go, and after a week i want rid already.

an the left one fowls the gearchange tube as you unscrew it , so need to release clutch cable n gear pulley an slide tube out to get the fixing unscrewed from headset , i think but could be wrong the right one doesnt fowl the accel tube n can just be unscrewed , could always pop headset top n cut em shorter so they dont protrude ,or i'm sure theres chrome caps that just fit straight over an ya can leave fixings in ,not a job ive done in years so cant remember ,H

Well, i had an hour at it and i've drawn a blank. Headset off, took out the pin at the end of the tube, and whilst that gives a bit more play, it wont let me unscrew the fixing at all. I really didnt think i'd have to start unclipping all the cables. Looks like i'll have to cut them shorter. I've got the grommets ready   |

in my case (2015 px150) doing the gearchange side would have involved disconnecting the cable even with loosened tube-i baulked at that, hacksawed them both off in 5 minutes instead.

For mine (for the moment) I've left the metal bits in and taped them up until I can shift sh*t in the shed to do properly. Think it's headset off, then unscrew but can't remember....
