Touring Comfort: Prima Backrest & Rear Folding Rack
Enhance your Vespa’s utility and passenger comfort with the Prima Rear Rack and Backrest Combo. Finished in high-luster chrome, this dual-purpose accessory features a padded passenger backrest and a spring-loaded folding luggage rack. It is the ideal solution for riders who want to carry a passenger for weekend tours while maintaining the ability to strap down a roll bag or daily essentials when riding solo.
Premium Features & Design
- Dual-Function Utility: Combines a secure passenger grab rail, a cushioned backrest, and a folding luggage platform into a single integrated unit.
- Spring-Loaded Folding Rack: The rack stays tucked against the backrest when not in use to maintain the Vespa’s classic silhouette, then flips down instantly for cargo.
- High-Luster Chrome: Features a multi-stage chrome plating process designed to match the factory trim on GTS and GTV models.
- Padded Comfort: The weather-resistant black vinyl pad is ergonomically positioned to provide lumbar support for passengers on long-distance rides.
