well it strikes me that there is still a bit of innovation out there in scooterland, very few original ideas about. i need to see the bike in the flesh before i decide whether it works but i'm bloody glad theres still people out there building 'em for me to gawp at. or of course you could have vinyl wrapped a full body indian GP and fitted a vietnamese seat, :D :D :D

Very nice scooter and top class work. Not keen on the back end spoils the look of the scoot, not my cup of tea either. Credit to you tho for a top class build, with a great spray job.

Man that is just mad, I love it.
The level of detail and engineering is just outstanding.

Can you tell me has the cryogenic treatment to the transmission components been worthwhile ? :fb:

I'm not a massive fan of cut downs but as already said, that is quality work and I could spend hours just taking in the detail. I like the method you have used to hold the rear brake hose in shape, very neat 8-)

So far so good on all components. Over the years Ive blown up many gearboxes etc so looked to upgrade. The company i used do a lot of treating for mining company's on 650 ton trucks so took this as a good guide.
I was told the problem is the gears point loading because the case warps at high speed . The treatment is costed per kg so was not too expensive
