I'm running weeks behind though because of problems fitting the forks. The top of the fork column looks to be too high & there is a gap between the headset bottom & top of the frame. Because of this, the headset didn't line up with the notch in the forks and unbelievably I broke THREE whilst tightening them up! The headset bottom can not be lowered as (1) it sits on the locking washer & (2) it wouldn't line up with the notch in the fork stem.

But if it's only a little bit you're looking for it ought to be fine. I've found it wasn't very expensive to get a professional welder to cut it down. My guy preferred to cut and sleeve internally, but cutting through the weld of the lower 'knuckle' leaves the internal plug part intact, ready to weld back into your shorter fork. Here you go.As Roland says, you can use a shorter shock to lower it, but apparently handling suffers as the swing arm gets flatter.

POLINI EVOLUTION FORK

The central part has been designed with modern 3D CAD. It is made using shaped precision casting and afterward it is worked using sophisticated 5-axle CNC machines. Some shims are supplied to low the front axle and achieve different settings. The total weight is 1.1 kgs over the original one. The scooter-driver’s barycenter has a more comfortable position and it avoids excessive sealings on the scooters.

Fork - steering tube - steering tube -OEM QUALITY- Vespa PX oldThe steering tube is manufactured by the former OEM Piaggio manufacturer Prediere & Abbate. Of course, the aftermarket disc brakes for the Ø16mm axle type will also fit. UPGRADE YEARS 1977-1982The Lusso fork has a thicker tube than the fork of the Vespa PX old (1977-1982). Easier is the use of the series 'hermaphrodite fork' called steering tube type of the years 1982-1984. These havealso already the thick steering tube and a 20mm axle, but still the old steering lock type (slot).
