can a vespa chair be converted

motorat · 03-05-2013, 12:45 PM

can this be modified to have a 18 or 19" wheel and used on a royal enfield??
or would it be better to just get the one already set up for a RE.
the new chair is about $3500.

Anything can be done with skill, time and money. My "guess" would be that by the time you're done screwing around with that one you'll have as much money invested as you would if you just bought the correct chair to start with.

thanks...that is what i was thinking also.
trying to save a little money sometimes is more expensive.

I had a Cosy on my 64 Vespa. It was a garbage can on wheels. Crappy paint, crappy chrome, and thin sheet metal for the tub. The hack wheel rotated on a plastic/nylon sleeve bearing. JUNK!
