Nice machine.

Tell me more about the front disc. Is it a Vespa disc with a Nissin caliper, or something else. I'm intrigued.

As an update to what the scooter looks like now, it looks like this

Image

I am just in the process of stripping it for a respray

It has bitubo shocks front and rear, led rear light, a Vintage 226 exhaust from America and a Trailtech Vapor speedo/tacho. These were all fitted prior to strip to make sue they worked.
The exhaust added a bit more low down torque and a bit more top end. the Vapor speedo/ tacho was temporerily fitted to the top of the headset but i am going to try and fit it into the headset in some way.

As for the engine, it is very fast and extremley reliable. It is fantastic to ride and have great confidence in it, having being built by Sean.

I hope Stevie dosn't mind me changing his scooter so much, just wasnt totaly to my taste.

I will post some pictures as i go on if anyone is interested

Andy
