|
|
Just wondering here if the small top box on a LX would fit the 300?? I hate to carry my helmet around so I'm gonna need a top box. The one for the GTS is just a tad too bulky..
The fittings on the LX look like they'd fit the 300 as well.. Any views? |

Go for a Givi. You'll need to buy the mounting plate though (or an original 250 rack). This is an E340

The topbox for the super is a lot smaller than the normal GTS one... its a similar size to the LX model...
If i remember right the GTS box is 42l and the super version is 32l...
It also has the back rest pad with a matching white pin stripe!
Not cheap though as comes with the rack |

Strange the pic of the Vespa 300 box I have looks just like a 250 box.
Great thing with the Givi boxes is that you can put the key in, press a button and it's off.

Strange that one, I bow to your superior knowledge on that CT but I agree with doug does look the same as the one I had in Vintage red on my 250.... _________________

In the Deroute book, which lists the accessories.... it states GTS being 42 and Super being 32l... so i thought i was right, but ive ordered one anyway, so ill do some measurements when it arrives |

I kinda liked it when it first came out, but it's done the opposite to grow on me. Not sure of the point really and extra £500 quid for what the headlight in a less safe place than on a GTS? the one thing I do like is the dash with a PX(ish) dash and digi display below, shame they didn't use that on the 300, that's the one thing I know I'll miss on my 250 the digi dash _________________

Must admit I like the dash on a 250 better than the 300, guess Piaggio did it to save £££ _________________ GTS250 its the future!!! A club wi owt a name sc. Bamberbridge. |
