How does the old saying go? Something about chrome not getting you home? Well like it or not, Ken, our tech advisor, has de-chromified this Stella – partially in homage to Stella’s P Series ancestors, partially because he is a chrome hater.
All bezels have been swapped out for black. The clear lenses were replaced with amber lenses that would make even Stan Lee take notice. The aluminum legshield trim was replaced with a crimp-free black one. Even the stock rims were changed to black. Ken also ditched the centerstand in favor of the black Cuppini sidestand.
Nose dives at red lights? Forget those. The front suspension was given a huge upgrade with the Bitubo gas shock that fits all Stellas and P-Series Vespas.
This green love machine also got our prototype 4T exhaust, for that distinct growl your grandmother warned you about. (This pipe is still in development, so stay tuned. [Pun intended. Deal with it.]) The beefy black rear rack is expected by this summer, and works on both the Stella 4T and Auto.
UPDATE: The rear rack is finally here, in chrome!
