Why did you give up with scomo? Rollerladen has many parts but it's very hqard to get an answer to emails from them. The best solution is to call them but they...
won't go into detail on scomo as I don't want to get into a slagging match- trust me they're out of the question. I want to find someone who uses EMS post...
No way, the scooter stores here (NZ) are helpful as! Definatly feeling the 'given up on Scomo', customer service for people down here doesn't seem a priority. ...
Hmmm- I was from AKL; they were shite in the 90's- anyway... You can get replacement front shocks stock or bitubo/sebac etc. Lok at scomo etc and then buy...
Lee, For the front fender, you can also try Mauro Pascoli. http://www.mauropascoli.it/index.htm. They are probably the ones making what SIP is selling. They...

Hi, I have a Grimstead Hurricane 200. The original conversion consisted of using a Piggio Ape piston which I believe was similar in diameter to a Rally 180...
Tommy, You should talk to Al at Hot Rod Scooters. He's the guy that builds the Vortex carbs. He built a setup for me that uses a cylinder bored to accept a...
Please excuse my ignorance Collin. Is it the Ape piston or the rally 180 piston that needs the window welded. Also will i still be able to use the stock small...
Thanks Trace Hope everything goes well with the rebuild. I'm assuming you sent Al you top end and carb he sends it back complete and ready to bolt up. Before...
Hi, I have a 1966 SS180 that I restored myself to mint and I could not have done it without First Kick Scooters in San Francisco. In the about 15 years I've...
Hey Tommy, it was the Rally 180 piston that needed to be welded. I don't have much info on the Ape piston deal. You can use the same crank/small end bearing no...
Thanks Collin I talked with Al today. He said he recently did a conversion that didn't require the welding of the 180 piston. He believes it was a GOL piston...
GOL pistons? http://www.pistonigol.com/ Catalogue->Tipology(Scooters)->Brand(Piaggio Vespa)->Search The SS180 pistons (Code:0118) are listed on the 2nd page. #...
Thanks for the GOL site. That appears to be what I'm looking for. I'm going to contact them just to make sure it will work. Thanks again to everyone who has...
All, Any input/experience on following for a SS180? * rear and front shocks- bitubo vs fournales? what models fit? * doing a front disc brake conversion with a...
Hi all, Thought I'd keep you up to date on the progress of the SS180 I picked up in Michigan a little over a week ago. I figured I'd start by cleaning the...
My VSC is a 6V no-battery type. I know you can alter the stator etc to convert to a battery, but I'm wondering if modern technology affords other options- any...
Ah, of course you were correct. I had the combined GS160/SS180 parts list open in front of me looking to see if there was anything pressed on or attached that...
Hi to all on this excellent forum. 1) What is the size of an SS180 handlebar grip? I get conflicting sizes between Vespa Motorspoort and Scooterworks on...
Silly me! When I got the flywheel cleaned up, I realized it was aluminum after all,with the insert in it giving it that heft. So then what is the finish on it...
Hi Glyn, My situation became a bit of a joke - the electrician replaced a wire on the stator, incorrectly rewired my tail-light and brake light, mounted my...
Sorry to sp@m the list; but I'm having a hard time tracking down PK125 forks for my SS. I heard about a year ago that they were being manufactured again but...
I'm originally from NZ too, I brought my SS180 over to the US. I've owned it since 1990. Back then the only way you could get parts was a phone call to John...
