Is it at all possible to fit gp forks into my vespa frame witb out cuting and welding i would consider using gp handlebars if needs be cheers...... i have seen a vespa with a gp front end a few yrs ago in scootering
I have fitted GP forks into a PK frame. The stem was way too short for one and the bearing race is too low. I had to put a spacer on the fork tube to bring the bottom bearing up by about 50mm. Otherwise the forks won't turn in the frame and the Vespa won't be level either. Interestingly the GP and PK forks have the same tube ID but a different OD.

So that would be more or less the same route i would take with px frame then ...with them being threaded at the top i wonder if i could use my mk1t5 bars if the forks are long enough to take some off the top
