Late Vespa models often have a white plastic cable holder in the steering head. This solution is light and functional - but can give way over the years due to tensile forces, stiff Bowden cables or improper installation. The result: the mount becomes deformed, the cables run less smoothly or get play. This is exactly where this reinforcement plate comes in: A steel plate that stabilizesthe plastic mount and makes the cable routing in the steering head more resilient.
Developed for late largeframe models such as GTR, Sprint Veloce, TS125 and Rally 200 (Ducati, last series) - depending on the steering head version, the plate also fits smallframe modelswith the same plastic cable mount, e.g. Vespa Primavera ET3. Also relevant: Motovespalicense models, provided the same white cable holder is installed in the steering head.

The reinforcement plate is no substitute for proper cable routing and lubrication - but it is a solid safeguard to ensure that the plastic mount remains stable in the long term. The following applies to Smallframe and Motovespa: The actual steering head/cable cable mount (white plastic version) is decisive.

Note: Motovespa license models are also suitable if the white plastic cable holderis installed in the steering head. For conversions and country-specific variants, please briefly compare the mount in the steering head.
The reinforcement plate is a simple, effective measure to stabilize the white plastic cable holder in the steering head - for late largeframe models as well as for suitable smallframe variants(e.g. ET3) and Motovespa license models with the same holder. Ideal when changing the cable or revising the steering head.
