Piaggio 916407 Rear Left Side Panel Black Purple PM9/1 – Free 50

The Piaggio 916407 left rear side panel is the original body panel for the left rear side of the Piaggio Free 50 scooter, painted in black violet, color code PM9/1. It belongs to the 9164xxx reference family, which Piaggio reserves for the left rear side panels of the Free — the corresponding right one is 916507. A new old stock, never-mounted spare part, only one available.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio spare part – this is the same panel installed at the factory, OEM code 916407
• Costs a third less than other colors in the same family – new 9164xxx and 9165xxx side panels with declared Piaggio brand are sold for 75 euros including shipping; even the unpainted version costs 50
• Hard-to-find color – green, purple, burgundy, red, and metallic black are common for this side panel: the black violet PM9/1, with this code, is unique
• New, not a dismantled used part – most used panels have paint faded by the sun or cracked mounts
• Factory paintwork – deep, glossy black with the typical violet reflection of the color, never exposed to the sun (observed from product photos)

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility reconstructed from the Piaggio coding system. The 9164xxx family is documented by professional dealers as "left rear side body panel" for the Free, with the specular right side in the 9165xxx series (e.g., 916464 left ↔ 916564 right, same color) and the unpainted version 916400. All references in this family with color codes in "PM" format — green PM4/8, violet PMC7/6 — are assigned to the Free 50 1992-1994, while numerical code colors also appear on the Free FL. On this basis, we attribute the black violet PM9/1 to the 1992-1994 series. As we could not consult the official table for this code, we still ask for your chassis number before ordering.

Who it's perfect for

The first-series Free is now over thirty years old, and the rear side panels have taken the biggest hit: sun, walls, kickstand. Anyone restoring one today usually settles for a faded or repainted used part — and on an iridescent color like black violet, a repaint done by eye never matches. This one is new old stock, with factory paint never exposed to the sun. For this color, with this code, there is nothing else on the market. We only have one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Free model does the 916407 fit?
It fits the first-series Free 50, 1992-1994. Piaggio colors with "PM" codes belong to that range. The Free FL 1995-2002 has different bodywork and uses other references. If you are unsure which Free you have, send us the chassis number: we will verify it before you order.

Is it the right or left side?
It is the left side. In the Piaggio system, Free rear side panels have codes starting with 9164 for the left and 9165 for the right: only one digit changes. The corresponding right in black violet is therefore 916507. If you need it, please contact us to check availability.

What color is PM9/1?
It is Piaggio's black violet: a deep black that reveals a violet reflection in the sun. It is not a flat black and not a violet — it is an iridescent color, typical of early nineties color ranges. If your Free is a different color, please contact us to verify the correct reference.

Is there also an unpainted version?
Yes, it is reference 916400, the same mold without paint: on the market it costs about 50 euros including shipping, plus the cost of the body shop. If your Free is already black violet, this one is ready to mount and costs less than just the unpainted panel.

Is hardware included?
No. The package contains only the painted side panel: screws, clips, and rubber grommets must be reused from the part you are replacing or purchased separately. If you need those too, please contact us to check availability.
