Re: My latest barn(ish) finds

Here it is. Last ran 21 years ago. Fired first kick. New crank, cylinder, stator etc. I have the correct bench seat which will go on, as well as the rest of the body work. The scooter had fallen over at some point. The floor cross piece is bent a bit. Headset bottom in a donor from a servetta. Origi...

Anyone try 3D printing this hard to find part?

Late model Servettas came with turn signals in NA. Scooter boys in the 80s threw them away. As a result it’s really hard to find the box that holds the turn signal switch if you want to add signals to a scooter. I commute on my lambretta in heavy city traffic, I put signals on all my scoots and ther...

Slot in MC perch, anyone got a pic on their scooter?

Beedspeed is selling an insert for the existing switch housing that allow you to fit a modified nissin master cylinder. Pictured here. Does anyone have a picture of the complete set up on their scooter?

Thanks

Boring 200 to 225?

Hi, friend has a GP200. Asked me about going to 225 but is on a tight budget. I see steel lined ALU 225 barrels for sale. Wondering having the stock barrel bored out to 225. Is there enough meat for that? What about cooling, is the iron and fins sufficient? If the way to go is ALU, I won’t buy the c...

Re: Getting steel ring out of break disk

Thinking about some more. Guessing tap the ring so one end is in a hole so I can get a pick under it?
