High-quality speedometers as replacement for Vespa models with shell-shaped speedometer.
The Vespa models of the 50s to 70s have many elegant and style-defining parts. The overall shape of the Vespa and the attention to detail on some of the individual parts made the Vespa a design icon back then and created the legend that the Vespa is to this day. A particularly beautiful detail that is always in the rider's field of vision is the speedometer. Especially the shell speedometer, which was widespread in the 60s, is considered an "eye-catcher" by Vespa lovers.
The advantages of the SIP shell speedo:
- High-quality finish
- Precise counter
- Durable and reliable
Unfortunately, defective, worn or lost tachometers are difficult to replace today. While there are many manufacturers on the market, the quality of many replica speedos is variable at best.
The SIP shell speedometer
The SIP speedometer is manufactured in a speedometer factory and has an extremely precise counter. The speedometer works very accurately, even after prolonged use. Unfortunately, other speedometer manufacturers are not allowed to use the original logo.
The Piaggio company alone reserves the right to equip parts with its logo. Many manufacturers therefore sell their speedometers without the logo. The SIP speedometers are discreetly labelled with the three "S.I.P." letters. Otherwise, they look like the classic original. They are available in two versions: black with white lettering and white with blue lettering.
Speedometers interchangeable within the model series
In principle, speedometers with the same shape are interchangeable. This has the advantage that, for example, in a VBB that has been given more life with a 211 Malossi, a speedometer with a top speed of over 100 km/h can also be installed. This not only looks good, but is also prescribed by the TÜV inspector.
Conclusion: Both as a high-quality replacement and as an upgrade for more powerful engines, the SIP shell speedometer cuts a fine figure.
