Re: FAG NU2205E - but made in India!!

I would like to think that the QA of FAG, BMW, VW, Piaggio, Triumph etc. would stand for something and that they'd be carrying out enough checks to ensure their reputation stays intact as far as the quality of the product with their name on it is concerned.

Re: Messing about with a Gilera Runner

I saw a similar PV to this fitted to a cylinder MB did. Not sure if it was from a larger form of cylinder like Bombardier or SeaDoo. There are several problems, firstly the close proximity of the plastic parts to the exhaust and secondly the valve removes alot of fin cooling area in the place it is...

Re: Messing about with a Gilera Runner

Been having a play with Runner engines recently and thought I'd have a go at a barrel. This is what we came up with: Modified Malossi barrel, 66mm DT175 piston, iron liner, 55 stroke crank, Rotax Power valve, GT reed valve and manifold. These are the first 2, there is a 3rd to follow. The Runner en...

Re: new 5/6 plate clutch for lambrettas
