Re: NGK BR8EG

Run a 9 in my scoot. RB22 and franspeed tourer also. Went out this afternoon to go for a ride and the scoot would't start. Put new plug in and it started 1st kick. Fine if this was a one off, but this happened the last time I went out.........! Hope its just bad luck!

Re: Chrome advice

You wont get better quality chrome work than London Chroming, but they are expensive. Judging by your quote though, it seems like the prices have come down.

Re: Add On Box - Augusto Unit - Varitronic System

Got one on my RB, an 8000 model. Ive done about 700 miles with it now. I ran my engine in without it and had it fitted after. The noticable difference is that you can just dial the power in and the whole engine feels smoother, if that makes sense! For the gains you get its a cheap piece of kit IMO.

Re: Price Guide Indian GP

It may be advertised for 2k but thats just a starting place. Asking price and what it actually achieves are two different things!

Re: Old Frescos

No need to cut end can off. Baffle held in by a plate and circlip. Take out circlip, remove plate and pull out baffle. Wrap fibreglass round baffle and put back together.
You,ll be doing it quite regularly though!

Re: Old Frescos

They did have packing in the end can. I actually got taken to court and fined for using an exhaust without baffles when running one of these! I was stopped and reported by a motorcycle cop who was every scooterboys nemesis back then ( remember pc Daniels from essex? ) He hated scooters and us! They ...
