    I am currently selling scooters and would like to purchase side cars, but the side car prices are higher than the scooters themselves from what I could find.

    My wife has a 2008 Stella with a Cozy sidecar. She uses it mostly for low speed around town driving. I would like to put a friction type damper on the steering column to lower the wobble that happens at 15-20 mph. I like the Silverline type but am having trouble finding info about it. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

    Looking for help. Checked out Side strider for steering damper hints. they recommended volkswagon steering damper standard. Whenever I’ve asked parts shops want make and model year. Also got the silverline type with my kit, doesn’t fit my VespaP200E. Requesting help from any sidecar people. Cheers.

    Simon:
    You will find the damper you need at JC Whitney. Part# ZX882541W for a 61-78 VW Beetle or Karman Ghia. They also have a 3-piece chromed clamp that will fit on the sidecar strut. Check McMaster-Carr for tie rod ends you may need also. Depending on how you mount the damper to the scooter front end shock or tube in front of the shock. The tube is probably about 35 mm in dia. you can find motorcycle fork clamps that may work.

    Hi -

    I’m trying very hard to get my ‘55 Vespa and sidecar completed for the Griffith Park rally in October.

    Not sure of the sidecar, but it sure looks like a Meyers Aircraft. I’ve owned both since 1958 when I bought it to deliver newspapers in Chicago.

    The sidecar fender has been lost and I’ve never seen any photos as I remember it - Full and curved, not like a trailer fender.

    Any help would be welcome!

    Hello,

    What is the mpg I can expect to get after adding a Cozy sidecar to a 2008 Stella?

    will any of the 2008 vespa scooters accept the cozy or any other sidecar?
