Wulfy, you could have saved yourself a journey. Swifco are just around the corner from Scootopia and do a first rate job of blasting and powder coating.

Very frustrating Chris, still waiting for the engine to be done, the blasting to be done, and the chrome work as well. Also ordered the first new parts ready for the rebuild but the wrong item was delivered. I now have the parts to refurb the forks when they come back and will get your tool back to you
On the plus side I got to meet big Dave the other day and went round to see his scoots.

lovely job well done,if leaving everything standard then great, i would have opened up the air scoop a bit while you had the chance bit more airflow to the filter wouldnt harm.

Is that just a case of cutting it out with a dremmel or such? I'm going to keep the engine as standard on this one as I plan to hand it to my son when he turns seventeen (wife would give me hell if she found out it was not 125 and also I would not forgive myself if anything was to happen to him). Am keen to do another for myself once finished but with a bit more oomph
