Rear Sprocket Lightening

Anyone had a go at this? Difficult to do? Is the whole sprocket hardened? Is it worth it and does it really have any benefits?

Re: Faulty Rapido Kit??

I'd check to make sure the edges of the hole are chamfered so they don't catch a ring again ;) Double check with AF that it will be OK. If they say it'll be OK, I'd make sure the stud is Loctited in. Sounds a bit iffy, though :shock:

Re: REBORE GOOD MACHINE SHOP

Yes, he's still going, but sort of semi retired. What a nice chap. Not like some of the miserable buggers I've spoken to.

Re: ScootRS Disc brake - UK stockist?

Scooters Rock (aka Kings Lynn scooters) are I believe stockists of ScootRS stuff, although there have been questions raised about their speed of delivery.

Rebore & Boost Port Window

Got a 185cc kit that was tuned by Dave Betts (RIP). Had a nip up when the downpipe came adrift at the exhaust port flange (weld cracked and downpipe was found 30 yeards down the road).
