Scooterotica

thanks ..i like it .

I treated LDish to a bit of bling ,new JL pipe...

the front forks were very soft on this and would bottom out badly on braking, i searched ebay and found a rear moped shock that was almost the same length as the late indian style one , so i ordered two and with a little modification the fitted and are working a treat,,

i built a newish engine for this, its an old school 240 conversion using a cast barrell bored to 71mm using a kawazaki h2 piston repegged , 116 crank 60mil ,3 mil packer , old mb reed valve manifold and rd 350 reeds, head profiled to suit , 34 mil amal and a jl pipe, out on it today and its nice and smooth, it'll all end in tears but should be fun while it lasts..

had to trim the panel to fit over the carb and fitted a low fuel warning light, think ill need it.

fitted an LD toolbox today, and a sip digital speedo, got tired of guessing my speed,

Gerry, I love that. Do you know the origin of the 240? It looks familiar. Lovely kits set up well, vibrate mind S

240 was an ebay purchase, you may well know it, its stamped mrb and a number, dosent vibrate too bad , but not fully sorted yet its not pulling as well in 4th as id like so im going to change my gearing and re check the timing etc, great to start and first 3 gears are fine , dosent die in 4th just feels a bit flat , ill know better with a speedo.

saved my pennies and bought a rear disc for this,, fitted it during the week,

well the gearing was the problem on the 240 , it turned out to be an indian 150 box and not a 200 as id been told.. the front forks are still bottoming out when i brake hard so im going to have to figure out some kind of anti dive for the forks. . has anyone done this on late style indian forks , a pic would be nice.. and i need to sort some storage for my 2 stroke , the ld toolbox just isn't big enough.
