The one Stig linked to is the type I bought. If you're handy, I dare say you could fabricate your own? Some on here have done that.That's what I did! Can't find the picture but nohing more than two stout flat bars about two feet long, both with a hole at each end. I used M6 bolts and nuts, three of each. One for a pivot at one end, one each at the other. No nuts on the two for the variator (front), nuts on the two so you can stick the heads in the clutch drum.
Common for some folks - rare for me!I think the Like is a vast improvement over the Vespa!
Early this morning, an elderly lady of means, apparently, slid out of her Escalade and walked past.
Looking at my LIKE parked by the curb, she asked, "Is that yours?"
"Yes ma'am."
"It looks like fun!"
"It is!"
Later a mail man rode up on his scooter. He pops into Tom's most mornings on his way to the post Office, just down the street.
We chatted about his scooter. It's a 50 and he lives in the village - so perfectly good for intown use.
Later a passerby asked, looking it over, "Is that a Vespa?"
"Oh goodness....no! that kinda stuff can get a fellow beat up! It's Chinese!"
He was puzzled at my remark. He doesn't know Vespa owners.
Low bright sun in my face on much of my ride home...so stopped and put the painter's tape on. Works a treat - much better than my drop-down sun glass thing. That darkens everything. Including shadows. In and out of tree shadows all the way home - any one of which can be hiding a deer standing in the road. Ask me how I know!
It ain't elegant. But look at the rider!

Solved my problem with sudden death and slowly dying scooter engines. Modern setups have a vacuum operated vent valve that sticks shut.Remove these two screws and have a good grip on this cover and the two catches because they are spring loaded!
