Easy on the hand, pleasing to the eye and absolutely safe are just some of the advantages of these adjustable handlebar levers, from the SIP Style range of parts.
At last a meaningful alternative is provided by our SIP designed and developed adjustable handlebar levers. We are quite proud of these custom items and really appreciate their form and function.
- Simple adjustment.
- Available in black and silver.
- Attractive price/performance ratio.
These adjustable handlebar levers, from our own production, enable the most convenient method of adjusting the length of either the front brake or clutch cables by 15mm without getting your hands dirty. This clean alternative is possible as a hand-operated adjuster mechanism is located directly on the levers themselves. They can be adjusted by 15mm in either direction at the top end of the cable, even while out riding! A really clever and useful solution that no Vespa should be without. There is also a choice of two separate styles available, one with a classic-style pointed end and the other with a ball-ended sport lever look. Both styles are available in either black or a silver polished aluminium.
Information: With slight modification Vespa PX handlebar levers can also be fitted to the smallframe Vespa PK models. Once the OE item has been removed, the upper fixing hole on the headset requires drilling out to a diameter of 8.5mm. Now the PX lever fixing screw can be inserted, using an additional washer between the lever and headset to eliminate any mechanical play. Due to the vibrations in the headset during use these screws can easily come undone, so the use of a Nyloc nut is strongly recommended! The brake and clutch cables on your Vespa PK can then be adjusted and set up as before the optical and technical upgrade.
Conclusion: Competitively priced handlebar levers providing an immediately individualised, sports-orientated appearance.
Technical specification:
- Aluminium.
- Classic or sporting look, adjustable.
- Available singly or in pairs.
Additional essentials - our SIP-TIP:
- Due to the slightly wider lever opening on the Vespa PK headset additional spacer washers are essential for a safe and solid operation. Both PX type levers will require a pair of 1.5mm thick washers (# 97734000, # 17492000) above and below the lever fixing.
- All models require suitable operation cables with a solder-less nipple: Front brake cable, clutch cable.
- Vespa PX Lusso models also require a solder-less adjustment screw for the lower end of the front brake cable.

Installation: With a few minor adjustments, the Vespa PX Brake Lever can also be mounted on the PK’s Handlebars.
After removing the original lever, all you need to do is enlarge the upper hole for the Brake Lever to 8.5 mm. Using the Vespa PX Brake Lever screw and an additional Washer between the Handlebars and the Lever, you can then adjust the Lever so there is no play.
Be sure to use a self-locking nut as the lock nut, as a standard nut can come loose due to vibrations.
Otherwise, the installation and adjustment of the brake and Clutch remain unchanged.
