Re: Porting Vespa Engine casings

Here's a shot of the transfer ports on the engine casing and yes I did go a bit mad and pop through on the LH transfer. But this is easily welded up and apparently its an easy mistake to make.

350x8 gearing

Am in the process of getting my 150 super back on the road and would like to fit a 200 engine with the 8 inch hub to keep the standard look of the bike. Was wondering has anyone here done it and what gearing change is required? Maybe such an undergeared 200 would be fun?

Re: Self built Indian GP RB200.

Great work! Any tips on how to get such a good paint finish? Use a good quality spray gun and paint. Make sure all the panel work is prepped thoroughly and spotlessly clean. I like to heat it all up prior to top coat. You don't need much heat an hour in front of an electric heater will do. Once pai...
