Right people I want to know if I can fit a Vespa front rim on to a Gilera runner, I know that the vespa has a single front fork but can I put my axle of my runner into a Vespa rim? Iv got a rear Vespa rim on my runner as iv put a Vespa lump in it and like the look of the rim and obviously would like the front to match.. ??? Cheers guys
No. The front wheel is for the single side fork and attached with nuts just like a car would be. It wouldnt accept a axle like a standard style wheel.
Nope, The wheel just isnt designed for that, Its designed to be a single arm fork wheel which means the strength is in different places vs a normal wheel that and I cant see any way of getting it to accept bearings and an axle. If you REALLY wanted to do it, You could just have wheel that looks exactly the same made but that would cost a hell of a lot to have just one wheel made.
Fitt the entire front suspension assy from the Vespa ? Measure the stem and modify as needed ? The GT ones are longer than ET . Haven't seen a single sided front on anything bar a Vespa or zip before so it would be pretty cool.
I have a set of Gt forks modded to fit a NRG, have a look at my NRG 140 twin project. I'm not using them now so they could be yours?
