Handlebar for Vespa Smallframe Models as a complete replacement for damaged or broken original parts.
If the Handlebar is damaged or even breaks in a fall, it must never be welded for safety reasons. In this case, only a quick and complete replacement will help. An intact Handlebar is a safety-relevant component and indispensable for reliable vehicle control.
Three variants are available for this purpose: a Handlebar for the Vespa 50 N with round Headlight Unit and small Speedometer, the slightly larger Handlebar of the PV and ET3 Models with oval Speedometer and the slightly inclined Handlebar of the 50/90 SS. Throttle and Gear Tubes, designed for 4-speed Models, as well as the Cable Bracket are already pre-assembled on all Handlebars. The hole for the Ignition Lock is missing on the ET3 models and must be added if required.
The Smallframe Handlebars are easily interchangeable. For example, a Vespa 50 Special with trapezoidal handlebars can be visually converted with a V50 N round handlebar, while the narrow handlebars of the 50/90 SS are particularly suitable for replica conversions.
SIP-TIP:
- It is best to order new Screws for the Steering Head, suitable Plates and a Steering Head Bearing Set at the same time.
Note: Depending on the country and manufacturer, Steering Columns may vary slightly in design. On some Steering Columns, the position of the Steering Head bolt is therefore offset by approximately 2 mm from the recess in the Steering Head. In this case, the recess on the Steering Column must be filed down by approximately 2 mm. The recess for the Speedometer may also vary on replica Handlebars.
Depending on the production batch, the fit must be checked and, if necessary, adjusted. We recommend checking this before painting and making any necessary adjustments.
For all replica handlebars, larger tolerances in the diameter of the head tube mount may occur depending on the production batch. If the diameter is too small, do not force the handlebar onto the head tube, as this may cause cracks. In this case, the seating must be enlarged to the correct size for the steerer tube. If the diameter is too large, there is a risk of breakage if the headset screw is tightened too tightly—exceeding 45 Nm.
Never use excessive force when installing the steering head bolt. In some cases, the primer inside the bolt hole may be thicker than usual.
We inspect 100% of all Steering Heads to ensure they are the correct size and also send them to a specialized German workshop to adjust them to the exact diameter of the PIAGGIO, RMS, and CIF Steering Columns. We carry these Handlebars under the SERIE PRO label.
