Hi

Does any one know where I can find replacement lettering for my scoots windscreen? I have googled without any luck and was hoping someone here could give any pointers as where to acquire these. In fact I only need the letter (I)

Thanks for looking.

Gave my lad a fiver to clean the thing and he managed to remove a it... Rolling Eyes

Regards

I'd be more worried about getting rid of the giant red "L"

If it's very important to you for it to be perfect, you might have an easier time buying a new one and offsetting the cost by selling your screen on ebay, presuming the screen comes with the label - if it doesn't, Piaggio ought to sell the label separately.

What you do is Google for Piaggio parts, look for part diagrams, then find the part and ideally the OEM part number, and then go searching for the best price - though many sites obscure the OEM part no precisely to stop you from doing this.

I don't know what scooter you have, but from the photo I'd guess an X8 125.

This page shows you the windscreen parts for an X8: https://www.easyparts.nl/showdrawing/6042/75970/-/0-968-1-m420-m886-m6294-m2349-s6042-d75970/Windshield___Glass.html

The Piaggio sticker is sold separately, 10.84 EUR inc VAT but ex delivery.

You could also have asked at the parts or workshop department of a Piaggio dealer; but if they're anything like Honda, ordering from the continent is often cheaper.

Hi barrkel

It's an Xevo 125cc 2010 model

Thanks for the link. I did look at this site earlier on...

https://www.easyparts.nl/showdrawing/12894/131264/222/0-968-1-m420-m2451-m12418-m12894-s17558-d131264/Windshield___Glass.html

I know it should be the raised lettering type, but without an image of the product I was a bit sceptical as the diagram shows the sticker with a v cut above it and I have seen piaggio flat type stickers on backing tape like this and was concerned that after payment etc it would be the flat type.

Anyhow I've now sent an email with image to a "ajsutton" to see if they have them, if not I'll contact the foreign site above with the same details.

Thanks all for taking the time to answer my post Thumbs Up
