That's a stunning looking scooter but I'm really not sure about the size of the wheels imho...nice work though

That looks kinda funky with the big wheels.

What fork is it? GTS?

I like it, but i think about an inch or so could be added to the front guard to give the lowered look or the wheels tucked under look, like say an old american car with big alloys.

Cheers for the comments.

Na, GTS forks go to the left, I wanted to keep the classic vespa look and both wheels to be seen from the side being the focal point. Also the reason for the RH exhaust so not to obsure the wheels. The fork is a standard PX fork, std height. IMO its the right height, it has a YSS lowered front shock, lowered any more or it runs the risk of touching the back of the mudguard and its damn close the the top already. Especially when you think this is the same fork used for a std PX 10" wheel. Indeed inspired by SIP glorious basterd but they used PKXL forks which is a little shorter but the fork is thinner they also used a number of one off made parts like billet hub. All the parts used were standard piaggio parts from different piaggio models Took a while of buying 2nd hand ebay purchases to find the right combination !

Masserati Iron Grey Met Pearlescent. Hard to photograph in the sun, kind of looks satin in the shots.
