Smooth Stop centre stand for gentle operation on classic plate Vespa models.
The SIP Pro Smooth Stop series centre stand has been improved and now has an adjustable stop. The advantage of the rubber stop is that the stand feet no longer hit the floor plate hard. Similar to the Vespa PX models, the stand stop is located on the robust mounting plates on the central frame tunnel.
"Smooth stop" due to rubber buffers
Adjustable distance to frame
Incl. mounting plates
The Series Pro Smooth Stop is now gently stopped by a rubber buffer without causing the floor plate to vibrate. This not only makes the noise when folding more pleasant, but the centre stand with its Smooth Stop technology also protects the frame. Cracks in the floor panel caused by the original centre stand are thus a thing of the past.
NEW in the Pro Smooth Stop series version
The centre stand is now equipped with an individually adjustable stop rubber. A thread allows the centre stand to be perfectly adjusted to your vehicle and the desired distance to the frame. For example, you can set the centre stand at an extra large distance from the floor panel so that you can use it comfortably at all times. Alternatively, the centre stand can be adjusted close to the floor panel to ensure maximum ground clearance.
Protection of the frame
The Smooth Stop centre stand comes with special stand plates. These have additional run-up plates against which the centre stand rests. This prevents direct contact between the stand tube and the frame and provides additional protection for the frame. In its original state, the original Piaggio stand rubs directly against the painted floor panel, which is avoided.
Scope of delivery
Longer screws are required for assembly, which are included in the set. The main stand spring and stand feet can of course still be used from the original stand, but they are also available as replacement parts (see below).
Conclusion: An extremely sensible technical update that is visually almost invisible!
