ROLLER Late version from approx. 1976 Made in Italy CIF

Important: MUFFE or ROLLE?

Two technical versions were used within this Vespa model series. The right choice therefore depends not only on the model, but above all on the technology installed on the vehicle.

MUFFE: early models approx. 1964 to 1976. The sleeve is inserted into the tube, the fastening pin is located on the outside under the handlebars.
ROLLER: late models approx. 1976 to 1983. The roller is pushed onto the tube from the outside, the fastening pin sits on the inside at the end of the tube.
This article: ROLLE, i.e. the late version from approx. 1976.

Design and function

The shift tube takes over the rotation of the left handle and transfers it to the shift mechanism. A worn, run-in or bent tube quickly leads to play in the handle, imprecise shifting or sluggish operation. A new tube creates a clean and stable basis again.

Technical data

For a quick technical classification, here is an overview of the most important dimensions and references: Overall length 310 mm, grip length 117 mm, length in the handlebar 124 mm and tube diameter Ø 24 mm. Piaggio 137840 and 1378406 serve as OEM reference numbers, which means that the design can be clearly assigned to the late version with ROLLER.

Especially with older vehicles, the old part, handlebars and chassis area should always be checked before ordering.

Note for models with handlebar end indicators

For vehicles with handlebar end indicators, the installed version should be checked particularly carefully. Particularly in the case of restored or converted scooters, the year of manufacture, handlebars and grip tubes do not always match the original delivery condition. Custom reproductions for this version are generally no longer available.

It is always important to first determine the technical assignment: MUFFE or ROLLER.
Compare the old part and handlebar version directly.
Use the chassis number as an additional guide.
The switch tube can be modified for handlebar blinker versions.
To do this, three holes must be drilled and two threads cut.
Apart from this, the basic part is identical.

Manufacturer quality from CIF

CIF produces this switch tube in Italy and is based on the original design. This is particularly important for components in the handlebar area, as dimensional accuracy and material quality have a direct influence on operating force, running behavior and durability.

Conclusion

The right gearshift tube for vehicles with ROLLE, i.e. the late version from around 1976. If you briefly check whether MUFFE or ROLLE is fitted before ordering, you will quickly make the right choice and avoid making the wrong purchase.

Not always. Many vehicles have been converted over the years or fitted with other handlebars. The chassis number, old part and actual version should therefore always be checked additionally.
