Re: Speedo
I have had 500 trouble free miles so far with my metal MB set up and 3 hours faffing and 0 miles trying to set up an SR nylon pair on my S2. I had some trepidation about the all metal MB set up but so far so good. Mixing nylon and metal feels like it might accelerate wear on the nylon part but who c...

My Vijay Super
I picked this up last year as a project that had been painted but not built. Part way through the rebuild I decide to go for a full Indian spec which I'm quite pleased with. All the NOS SIL rubber wear came from SR: new, but it needed a lot of work to clean up! Unfortunately I don't now have the spa...

Re: Rev Counter for S Type
Warkton - thanks for the comments. The krober ones certainly look the part and I like your view on the historical context. As it happens I have actually gone down the route that mawso suggests and ordered a koso gp analogue one which does look very tidy. I had a good chat with Jon at http://digitals...

Rev Counter for S Type
I'm building an S Type and my leg shield toolbox looks the perfect spot to fit a rev counter. Question is, what type? My scooter is a 67 SX150 so the look is sixties street racer, not eighties metalflake, and I want a rev counter that looks correct for the period. I'm not too anoraky: an analogue on...

Re: carb pouring fuel out
Thanks goldeneye, but your shed is safe.

Re: carb pouring fuel out
Thanks for the replies.
I've just ordered a £12 refurb set with new gaskets, needles, float etc so I'm going to give it a full service as a starting point.
