Sorry to be out of point in this discussion but scoot is holed up in the workshop and I feel so crippled without my own transportation. I don't suppose anyone here has an extra Vespa or bike lying around that I can rent for a couple of weeks...?

must ask vigano if he's willing......

Cephelix,

the mudguard headlight would not look good on a stock mudguard for PX...

it looks lovely on a rounded mudguard....

 

Ejatt,

any modification to the stock headlight on a vehicle is not allowed by LTA....

same theory on HIDs...

i was also thinking of installing the mudguard headlights but was told that it is not approved....so i dropped the idea..

[Gweester]

retro-king....same boat...me also scootless....

waiting for paint work to be done...sianz!!!

 

bike rental in singapore is a little tough as you have to be included in the insurance...try the garage sales thread...some people are renting their bikes...

[-ResiDue-]

what's the highest wattage headlight that can be fixed onto a scoot?

[EJatt]

but its not a problem if u cover the mudgruad headlight...use it occasion den best..

[Gweester]

Cephelix,

watt?

it depends on what voltage your scoots is running on....

either 6V, 9V or the usual 12V....

 

Ejatt, but to install the headlight and have it covered, isnt it wasteful...

but you can do it though...on special occasion than use it...

[-ResiDue-]

if 12V???

[Gweester]

then it will be a 12V headlight then....

[-ResiDue-]

muahaahahah...

oh...

50W?

[leyland]

hey anyone knows, if my vespa headlight is yellow colour, meaning those car fog light kind.. legal or not ah?

[Sharpey]

Cephelix... the halogen headlight (on my PXDisc) is a great mod... (can be put on yours...) I think $80 plus installation... Definitely bright enough!

[-ResiDue-]

ooooo....thanx sharpey.......

Exhaust weighs 5.75kg (if SIP website is to be believed)

 

305Euro from Worb5 – 16% tax (48.8) = 256.2 Euro+ 120Euro shipping = 376.2 euro or (750.580 SGD)

 

199.99 Pounds from Beedspeed – 17.5% tax (35) = 165 pounds

 

Deliveries over 2kg will incur an additional charge of £3.00 per every 0.5kg above 2kg ie, 2.5kg - £32.00 , 3kg - £35.00 , 3.5kg - £38.00 and so on.

4 kg 41

4.5 44

5 47

5.5 50

6 53

 

So for 6kg it’ll cost you 53 Pounds

 

So, 165 + 53 = 218 pounds (660.244 SGD)

 

Beedspeed is cheaper because they calculate shipping costs based on every half kilo... which is much more fair!

 

I'll pm you with the guys contact details (Scorpion dude)... You'll need to ask for all the documentatio he has on the Scorpion VE204

 

The trouble I expect you will encounter is in the documents not stating figures for a Sprint... LTA mightn't be satisfied... Obviously the PX125, 150, and Sprint are all essentially the same engine type, chances are LTA will want a piece of paper that names your scooter model...

next best legal thing to HIDs....

[Gweester]

thanks Sharpey for the great help!

so are you ordering for beedspeed?

would love to get some feedback on your exhaust once you get it fitted onto your scoots...

[-ResiDue-]

[-ResiDue-]

interested to know....

shipping?

philips diamond....hmmm..

if there's a DIY session,i'll definately buy them
