Re: please review Saigon SC vespa disk brake with anti-dive

I had that on my GS & it collapsed. I was told the axle pulled the bearings out & the hub fell off. My mate bought one at the same time, which we have checked and looks like it should be ok, we have also made sure the hub & axle match properly (tapper). We have not tested it yet, probabl...

Re: Moto Vespa (GS) Project

Going for the all in-one tank and seat combo with a rear filler cap. Akin to the ones that scooter in style produce. It's with the fabricator now. Simple low profile in black.

Re: chemical paint stripping wanted

I do this stuff myself. Hand grinder and wire brush attachment. If you don't have the time try your local powder coat shop, they should either help or know a company that can. I have used a company that strip antique doors, but they took forever as they were not interested & charged a fortune.
