Re: GRP Panels

I have GRP items from Chris at GRP Scooter Products and the fit is excellent, the panels fit better than my metal ones. I have had no trouble with painting them and they weigh a lot less than metal ones.

VHSH emulsion tube?

Hi guys can anyone tell me if I can run without the little emulsion tube fitted above the pilot jet? If so what effect would this have on the pilot jet sizing? Currently fitted 50 pilot, CD1 emulsion tube.
Cheers for any replies Andy

Thread size on on forks

Hi all

Does anyone know what size and pitch the thread is on the top of the fork/steering tube? where the top bearing seat and locking ring screw onto?

cheers in advance Andy.

Re: Your First scooter /first car ?

First scooter - S2 Li150 paid £50 for it and it came in 2 shopping trollies, fitted with a 175 top end, 3omm Mikuni and Fresco exhaust, had to fit a S3 horncasting and mudguard due to no second hand ones around.
