GS150 kickstart not returning

I've recently bought a 1960 GS150 VS5 that hasn't been started for about 5 years. Before it was sat up it had a £1,900 engine rebuild at Retrospective Scooters so there shouldn't be too much wrong with it. One issue that I do have though is that the kick start doesn't fully return to the correct pos...

VBB 10" wheel conversion

How do I go about a 10" wheel conversion on a 150 VBB? Do I just fit PX forks and a PX engine?

6.5" x 6.5" yellow/black perspex number plates??

Does anyone know where I can get a 6.5" x 6.5" yellow/black perspex number plate made up? I've had them made before but can't find anywhere now. I've got a 6 digit number plate so will fit nicely.

Re: Problems with BEEDSPEED???

Well it's in the hands of my credit card company now and they're going to process a charge-back and dispute the transaction with Beedspeed. I was going to give them to the end of the week to refund me but then I thought why should I bother, they've had plenty of chances to do the right thing and the...

Problems with BEEDSPEED???

Has anyone had any issues with Beedspeed recently? I’ve used them in and off for 20 years but over the last 5 weeks they’re been messing me around something rotten. I got a call from them 5 weeks ago asking if I was still after a Lambretta long range tank with no cutouts in primer as they had a coup...

Re: Throttle cable

Sorry but I don't agree. The throttle rod in the headset is probably clogged with 50 year old grease, I'd strip it down, clean it up and lubricate it with some 3-in-1 oil. When I've done this and replaced the cable etc the throttle snaps back nicely.
