I can’t comment on the 240 version but, 2 years ago, I did 2500 miles to adria on a B8 and on a GT186.

I was running the Denso equivalent of a B8 in my GT240 on that trip

I have already been down this route and fitted an Atomic Ultimate reed valve to my Avanti TT3 a couple or so years ago. I had to remove some finage but not too much and I cut windows in the piston and cut a 3mm D section from the bottom of the inlet side of the skirt using an old TS1 Matica piston a...

I'll be interested in how you get on with the LED as heat dispersion is the reason I have stuck with the HID's I fitted to my Jet and LiS a few years ago both with Jockeys reflectors ad full DC conversions. Both have covered thousands of miles now without issue and cost a LOT less than that LED, one...

Leave it to harden properly, depending on the air temperature, it could take several days. Do be aware though that 1k paint will dissolve on contact with petrol!!

I have been running Wassels on both my Lambrettas since SoulSurfer first discovered them and neither has ever let me down. I did purchase one of the £3.99 Chinese ones recently though to use as a baxk up spare on the Italian and Spanish Euro's. If I get time I'll wire it up and do a back to back test

Cheers for the replies boys....I think I`m going to take the 2k clearcoat plunge....I didn`t want to go 2k to start off on my first proper spray job as It seemed more difficult to fix cock ups ... Apparently any runs in the clearcoat can be flatted out and polished up again....All my scoots are com...

You certainly can apply clearcoat over celly and it will give you an amazing wet look shine, BUT if you use single pack lacquer if WILL dissolve on contact with petrol, know though bitter experience. Celly does mark quite easily but it is VERY easy to touch up invisibly and with a bit of elbow greas...
