Progress!
Forks in
Disk brake fitted (mostly)
Side panels cut and fitted and fan cover modified to look more or less correct
Headset modified
The scary part comes when I get it back from the genius doing the hard stuff and have to resume work on it myself.

Its all standard P200 at the moment.
If it fits I was going to go for a standard carb taken out to 26mm with a polini filter etc

Because my frame is a bitsa that's already been hacked about, I've no qualms about chopping bits off to make things fit.

The reason I asked, was if you were using a PHBH or similar carb it is best you don't have the sidepanel rubber going all the way around the panel. Reason for this is to allow as much air as possible into the carb.

Just looked at all the pictures on the thread, from the carb box, where does the air bellow fit to the frame & where is the choke lever on the frame, I only noticed one hole and I was assuming that was for the fuel tap.
Just a thought, on one of my previous conversions I used a motorcycle petrol tap. You have to weld a thread section into the tank, the petrol tap screws into this and has a very easy on off fuel tap. I used this method because the petrol tap for these models is rubbish and fuel leaks every where. SIP fast flow tap works but the fuel line connector is on the wrong side, I think. Best to check this out.

Its hard to see in the photo but there is a second hole for the choke, the air bellows was never connected and the tap all seems to line up as is.
I know everything works because I drove the scoot regularly for a few years before I decided to rip it to bits.
