The steering tube of the Vespa PK XL2 is, in addition to its actual use in the Vespa PK XL2 and HP3/HP3 models, very popular as a so-called conversion fork for the much older Vespa Largeframe models. These are e.g. VBA, VBB, VNA, VNB, Sprint, Rally, Super, GT, GTR, GL etc
In addition to its actual use in the Vespa PK XL2 and HP3/HP3 models, the steering tube of the Vespa PK XL2 is often used as a so-called conversion fork for the much older Vespa Largeframe models. These are e.g. VBA, VBB, VNA, VNB, Sprint, Rally, Super, GT, GTR, GL etc. The fork of the XL2 models not only uses the much more modern swingarm kinematics, the XL2 models are also the only fork type with a sufficiently long steerer tube to be used in the largeframe models.
Option to fit a disc brake
Better response of the shock absorber
Reduced brake flex
Of course, the forks do not fit into the frame of the old models without modification.

A conversion of the fork is possible with the appropriate expertise, but we also offer ready-converted forks (conversion fork BGM PRO: BGM8971). Here, only the mudguard mount is individually adapted or, alternatively, a GRP conversion mudguard with a suitable mount for the PK XL2 fork is used.
