Piaggio 070177 Aluminum Fork Swingarm Cover – Vespa 50, 90, 125 Primavera and ET3

The Piaggio 070177 fork link cover is the oval aluminum cap that closes the swingarm of the front fork on smallframe Vespas: it protects the suspension from water, sand, and dirt, and finishes the side of the front wheel. It fits Vespa 50 N, L, R and Special, Vespa 90 and Vespa 125 Primavera and ET3. Product code 070177.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio Group spare part – factory code 070177, not an aftermarket equivalent.
• Exposed aluminum – clear natural finish, like the original equipment part.
• One code for the entire smallframe family – Vespa 50, Vespa 90, and Vespa 125 Primavera and ET3.
• Very visible part – located next to the front wheel: when dented or corroded, it stands out from afar.
• Only one needed – the Vespa fork has a single swingarm, so one cover per scooter.

Who it's perfect for

This is the part for anyone restoring a Vespa 50, a 90, or a Primavera who finds their fork link cover dented, corroded, or simply missing: it's the first thing that catches the eye when looking at the front wheel, and it costs very little compared to the effect it has. It's also for those who have just rebuilt the fork or replaced the suspension and want to close the swingarm with an original part instead of a copy with an approximate shape. It can be installed in a few minutes, without removing the wheel.

Frequently asked questions

Which Vespas does the 070177 fork link cover fit?
The 070177 is the front fork link cover for smallframe Vespas: Vespa 50 in N, L, and R versions, Vespa 50 Special, Vespa 90, and Vespa 125 Primavera, including the ET3. In the compatibility table above, you will find the years and frame codes for each model.

Where exactly is it located on the Vespa?
It is located on the outer side of the front suspension swingarm, right next to the wheel. It's the oval cap that closes the pivot and conceals the suspension: it slides off by removing the central fastener, without needing to dismantle the wheel or the fork.

How many pieces do I need for a Vespa?
Only one. Unlike a telescopic fork with two stanchions, the Vespa has a single swingarm on the side of the front wheel, so it only mounts one fork link cover. The price indicated refers to a single piece.

The code is also written as 70177: is it the same part?
Yes. 070177 and 70177 are the same Piaggio code: some catalogs and some retailers omit the leading zero. If your manual or your old receipt shows 70177, this is the correct spare part to order today.

Is it original Piaggio or an equivalent?
It is an original Piaggio Group spare part, with the factory code 070177 and the aluminum casting specified by the manufacturer. You can find copies made of black plastic or colored anodized aluminum: they fit, but they don't have the material or finish of the standard part.

Does it also fit my Vespa PX or PK?
No: the 070177 is the fork link cover for smallframe 50, 90, and 125 Primavera/ET3. For the Vespa PX, the catalog specifies a different code, 564222. If you have a PK or another series and are unsure, write us the frame number and we will confirm the correct part for you.
