Moto Vespa (GS) Project

[cartmel808]

Yip very nice set up. Actually bought a set of GS forks from the guy who built that scoot in the link you enclosed...Graham (cartmel808), seen Sean Brady building his Quattriini too, last time I visited Dan and Sean.

Hey how you doing pal?... didn't realise that was you - good to see you've made a start with it.

Hi Graham, hope your well mate. Yes slow going but taking my time and learning as I'm going along. Hope to get a bit more time in the hut this weekend and post a few photos.

Shaun.

Hi Gary,

Could you shed a wee bit more light on the GS rear wheel etc for alignment please. Have not sourced a donor engine yet and wondered if the engine type is impacting on a wheel selection....if that makes sense. Was under the impression I could simply plug in a P2 lump for instance? Have just took receipt of x3 Sip tubeless wheels and tyres???

Cheers Shaun.

You'll be fine with what you have there Shaun... Gary's scooter is a wide frame - whereas yours is a large frame.... I've done 3 motovespa 150s frames with p series motors, disc front ends & sip rims & and non have wheel alignment issues...

Pinasco Flytech Ignition

Polini 210 Alloy kit with head

coming along nicely, what seat are you going for.

[Grooveywordbender]

Going for the all in-one tank and seat combo with a rear filler cap. Akin to the ones that scooter in style produce. It's with the fabricator now. Simple low profile in black.

Ps. Had a shoofty at your wiring setup with the electronic kit and the GS switches etc on another site...going to have a dry run without power over Christmas. May need some pointers if I get stuck lol.

Looking good Shaun - I saw your new engine being built when I was down @ Shaun & Dan's a couple of weeks back... very nice!

Keep the pictures coming ...
