The team at Barnsley-based Ron Daley continue to scour the world for useful additions to their range of parts and accessories. Recently added to their catalogue are two items, for which they hold the exclusive rights to UK distribution.

Of interest to GTS owners is the Cuppini mini backrest in satin black. Cleverly designed to fit on to the standard rear rack, it’s perfect for either de-chromed machines or any of Piaggio’s ‘black’ editions. Priced at only £55 plus postage it’s a cost-effective way of adding some comfort to your passenger’s riding experience. For riders who prefer a little more bling the backrest is also available in bright chrome at the same price.

Owners of classic Vespas may recall that earlier this year we featured the Vespa Survivor Kit’s (VSK) launch. Most easily described as a paddock stand, this was designed as an aid to lifting the rear end to assist removal of the rear wheel. Our sample was dispatched for testing to Ron Daley’s workshop where it’s become an essential part of their tool kit. The VSK has been found to create a firm working platform and is now used for any job that requires the rear wheel’s removal, including splitting the crankcases. The team has been so impressed with the VSK that adding it to their inventory was a logical step. Priced at £109 it’s a highly recommended addition to any PX owner’s tool kit.
