Scooterotica

chain has a very tight play for sure... Maybe just a matter of running in.
We're lacking of a dyno in Paris. Need to go somewhere in the far north suburb to get one.

Some like it not but I do!


Still missing the legshield toolbox. The Lince must be ready for tomorrow Moto légende exhibition.....

Oh I do like that- very tidy, good work fella, hope it goes as good as it looks

Loving it.

Still on my shopping list when I win the lottery...

You're right rosscia that's quite an expensive gift... Hope Madame will enjoy the ride...
Many thanks for your support mates. Very pleased.

From the Moto Légende exhibition

little update with a Pm disc brake conversion. The front drum was a nightmare and barely braked. Swapped it for a PM tuning volante without anti dive. I really dislike those late 70s systems that freeze handling and leaning when braking. Hazardous and unpleasant brake feeling for sure. better use harder shocks than anti dive....
Anyway the volante with its "back from the future" look fits discretely. I don't really care about the circular saw design of the disc.

Some good news from Paris. got my papers (V5) last week. What a struggle with a spanish former owner.... more than 4 mouths to get the file completed.

I'm very close to completion by now. I'm having problems with the front tool box fitting. Leg shield was in such a bad shape that box couldn't fit properly. There was almost a 1cm gap between the 2. We had to weld extra matter to get the perfect shape. Box needs a good spray before being bolted on.





brak disc conversion:

Nice thread again,
sorry,I have two questions
Did you manage to fit or use the S-Box?
Did you use the epoxy putty on the crankcase only or both on crankcase and maghouse?
I was doing an engine,small block with 200cc maghouse flange,there was a big gap,I was afraid to use epoxy putty on the maghouse.
Thanks.

S-box still on the shelf. Next time for sure...

See you are "hawkeye" dimitrios! I put the epoxy only on the crankcase side. I guess it will fly the port and finish somewhere in the exhaust.... Not today, not in a week but surely in a certain future....

We had trouble fitting the glove box. A pain! leg shield was so trashed and bumped, things couldn't fit together...
Willy had to weld extra material to shut the gap between the upper side of the box and the shield...
Things are fine now and this nice metal glove box fills this empty space behind the shield.











Electricity nightmare. None of the wire matchs the color code shown in the the sticky's book diagram... I'm tearing my hair off!
But things are almost completed this evening: beam, signals and horn are working fine with the battery. The DC conversion is a hit. It works fine and gives a regulated straight curent whether the engine runs or not.



Registration is completed and I got a "collection" V5.I'm not sure of the exact terms in english, but it's a cool mean to get the registration done with a foreign engine. I can also use an old french "black" license plate, much nicer than the new technocratic ugly european one....

looking good
