hi, i ws looking for the same thing , in the end i bought a pair of motorcycle bar end mirrors (9quid ebay) and fixed on to the toolbox side , the trouble with all these aftermarket mirrors is they are too short and you end up with a lovely viewe of your jacket and arm!! i even got a special bolt made up to go through the brake pivot and then attached a mirror to the top. same effect lovely jacket!!!!. think the legshield ones are best but my little budgie mirror on the toolbox does me!

hi all, heres one for ya! i had been for a good ride sunday , still had half a tank of fuel, all of a sudden ,the scoot (2011 px125) decides to not play ball. i pulled up at side of road and the bike sat there merrily ticking over , but when i put it in gear to pull off , it just went "bluuur" and would not accelerate aven though it kept on idling . i sat there for about 3 minutes , then gave it a good handful of throttle (in neutral) and after that it seemed to clear and went well again all the way home. what do you think , blocked jet? clutch or ? over to you.!!

i had the same thing, turned out it was the two stroke oil where i had been putting it in and out and not wiping it off properly (now we all know how important it is to wipe properly!!) the oil had sunk into the paint and when new paint hit it it went all silly and crazy! had to rub back to bare metal etc.

i personally wouldnt put any extra oil in the petrol tank if you are running autolube,contrary to popular myths it doesnt do it a lot of good and it puts too much oil in that doesnt get burnt ,hangs around and can cause numerous problems . but then what do i know!!

hi, if you have one of the newer (2011ish) px's then dont bother as it wont work. they have a totally different stator plate and a rev limited cdi unit which affect the speedos workings . i speak from experience!

hi, if you grind away a small part of the lower collar part just before the thread a little at a time , you will be able to push it past the throttle or gear tube without taking them all out. i did it to mine and they have stayed in perfectly, just dab a little loctite to the thread if you want. hope this helps.

does anyone know the name of the aftermarket little box that boosts the performance for the vespa timing? it was featured in scootering but i cant find the article! i think it adjusts the timing automatically.
