Chrome Replacement Parts from FA ITALIA "Made in Italy" for Modern Vespa Models. High-quality Luggage Carriers and Crash Bars in chrome or black with very good workmanship and a sporty look.
The chrome accessories from FA ITALIA "Made in Italy" are visually based on the PIAGGIO line. However, the price level is significantly lower, without compromising on the quality of workmanship or chrome. The seams are very neatly finished and all parts bear the engraved FA ITALIA "Made in Italy" Badge. FA ITALIA is one of the first manufacturers to offer many Frame Parts in black. This variant looks particularly sporty on current Vespa colors such as blue, white or orange.
The front Luggage Carrier is attached to the Legshield with two brackets. These are covered with rubber protection and leave no scratches or damage to the paintwork even after removal. No holes are required for installation. In addition, the front carrier is secured by an angle plate that is hooked onto the bottom of the frame. This gives it a very good Bracket even with heavier luggage. The distance between the contact surface and the lower edge of the Headlight Unit is 23.5 cm.
The rear Luggage Carrier is fitted to the chassis at four points. The Mounting Bracket for the pillion rider must be removed for this. To ensure that the passenger still has a secure hold, a Grab Rail is mounted on the rear luggage carrier. The chrome cover with the "Vespa" logo is recommended to conceal the Screws of the fixing points. However, the original PIAGGIO top case cannot be fitted here. Instead, an original PIAGGIO top case or a universal top case from the Replacement Parts range can be attached to the Luggage Rack. The original Vespa chrome cover can then no longer be used.
The Crash Bars for the Mudguard and Side Panels are attached with clamping screws. Self-adhesive felt pads protect the Paint. The rear Crash Bar is attached to the pillion footrests using longer Screws. However, the stability and protective effect in the event of a fall are somewhat less than with the original PIAGGIO part, for example. However, the solution is sufficient for minor bumps.
Conclusion: The FA ITALIA Replacement Parts are visually and qualitatively a clear recommendation and a strong alternative to the PIAGGIO line.
SIP-TIP:
- The look can be perfectly rounded off with other chrome-plated Frame Parts such as Headlamp Rim or Horn Cover Inlays.

"Fits exactly! Nothing needs to be reworked, I just put Rubber under the rear Seating to protect the Paint! Will never rust if you stick with it!"

Information : To mount the luggage rack successfully to the Vespa S 50-150cc models, two mounting bolts (#PI259349) for underneath the seat and another two for the mounting position at the rear of the frame (#31091000) are also necessary, as these models left the factory without grab-rail as standard. To finish the job properly a cover for the mounting bolts (#PI623336) is also required. On the Vespa 'S' models the Vespa logo, usually located on the rear of the frame, must first be removed to reveal the luggage rack mounting holes.
