Hallo, i'm of V.A.V. "vespisti alto vicentino", a vespagang of North Italy.
i'm looking for some photos or helps to put the fork of piaggio scooter 50 cc. NRG in my PX, using the original wheel of vespa.
I have brakedisc, i think to produce a new steel triangle for that fork.

help me! I have seen a lot radical works in your area.

Thank you

To my knowledge, the Piaggio NRG has a telescopic front fork that guides the front wheel from two sides unlike the standard Vespa forks, which are single sided.

Therefore I doubt you can use the standard Vespa front wheel with the NRG fork. Still you can use a 10" front wheel from a Piaggio Typhoon for example. AFAIK the standard NRG fork is crap because it has only springs and grease inside for damping. The Malossi forks for Piaggio automatic scooters should be way better, but cost a lot more.

The owner of this PX used a Gilera Runner front wheel combined with the said Malossi fork and oversize brake disc. You still have to keep in mind that the forks need some work to fit the Vespa frame.

yes,of course,NRG has not a telescopic front fork single sided.

This modification is very good,the sterring dumper,the big disc,but we can't use that size of wheel!

the best hidraulic forks are Paioli or Marzocchi, i'm waiting for a crashed Beta Ark 50cc scooter to cannibalize.

To use the standard Vespa front wheel with the hidraulic fork i need to produce a new sterring tube (more long) and a sterring triangle more little.

All in stell,plug and play.

Plastic "nasello" will be modified with fiberglass.

There isn't a kit to transform the forks? it's all only hand made?
