Front rack, Vespa style...

[Kevan_Vino]

Has anyone either explored or actually installed a front rack to their Vino? I would think it's possible, temporarily unsecuring the inside panel, and adding some reinforcement for the securing bolts.

Any comments?

I put a Vespa rack on my Vino this year. I did it without directly attaching it to the inner frame, but instead attached it to the neck of the front signal lights. Some people may question this (and I did for a while) but it seems quite sturdy and I haven't had a prblem so far(~600km so far this year). Here is a picture. If you want I can tell you what I did to do it. Let me know.

Nicely done...

What make/model rack is that one? I don't see it listed on the website I referenced.

It isn't from scooterworks, I bought it from my local vespa dealer but it is the standard front rack. It is pretty much identical to their FRG1-C model.
