The popularity of Vespa wideframe tuning is steadily increasing. The charismatic tubular handlebar Vespas are often kept in garages as collector's items or only used for short trips, as they lack the confidence in their old engines for longer rides. The low engine output of 2-3 hp is insufficient for today's road traffic. In recent years, however, a small scene of resourceful hobbyists has developed around the "Faro Basso", optimizing the original engines, replacing various components and thus improving performance. We have compiled all these products and many spare parts and accessories for the "Lamp Down" Vespa Models in this new Catalogue.
There are basically two engine types for wideframe Vespas: single-channel and dual-channel engines. Tuning options are limited for single-channel engines, while dual-channel engines can be significantly improved with the right components. Products such as aluminum Racing Cylinders from PINASCO, Reinforced Crankshafts from TAMENI & SERIE Pro by Stoffi, Carburettor Kits based on POLINI CP Models, Racing Exhaust Systems from SIP, maintenance-free electronic 12V Ignitions and improved Clutches and suspension parts open up new possibilities for lovers of tubular Vespas without losing the charm of the 50s. All conversions are reversible.
Tuning can be started with a sports exhaust system, which offers an increase in performance. The standard Carburettor, Air Filter and Intake Manifold can be replaced with a POLINI CP Carburettor Kit. The use of modern aluminum cylinders from PINASCO enables a significant increase in performance. A 4-speed gearbox from PINASCO and a contactless 12V ignition can also be installed to transfer the extra power to the road and avoid Ignition problems.
The suspension and braking system should not be neglected when tuning. High-quality Shock Absorbers from SIP PERFORMANCE, tubeless 8-inch rims and brake components offer optimum driving and braking performance. Enjoy reading!
