BGM PRO main stand with soft-stop technology for Vespa Smallframe from 1972 (+ all Smallframe with Ø20mm main stand)
The BGM PRO main stand with soft-stop system puts an end to stand feet hitting hard against the floor plate. As with the Vespa PX models, the kickstand stop is now positioned on the sturdy mounting plates on the central frame tunnel.
The kickstand is ideally stopped here without causing the floor plate to vibrate.
This not only makes the noise when folding in much more pleasant, the kickstand with Soft Stop technology also protects the frame. Cracks in the floor plate caused by the original main stand are therefore a thing of the past.
The Soft Stop main stand is supplied with stand plates. These have additional contact plates against which the main stand rests. This prevents direct contact between the kickstand tube and the frame and also protects the frame (the original Piaggio kickstand rubs directly against the painted floor plate!)
Longer bolts are required for installation; these are included in the set. The main stand spring and stand feet can of course still be used from the original stand, but alternatively these can also be found in the accessories (below).
FAZIT: Very useful technical update, visually almost invisible!
