spec so far is 72mm bore 60mm stroke crank 115 rod 5 disc clutch ,bit tame compared with yours,but used to ride mx and powervalve bikes were ok but this one will do me ,done all my own machining welding ,and engines going in series 2 scooter called old timer has modern day forks 12 inch wheels front and rear disc and yes single seats and old time big windscreen flat blue paint,and modified ancillotti style should be fun .got son inlaw coming over to up load photos should be fun whooping street racers and gts vespas

untill you pull over for fuel every 50/60 miles

update .
its now running and everythings woreks as it should, just a few things to do but hopefully be MOT'd start of next week

Superb mark.

Looking good Mark, my kind of build and engineering.

it dont leave much room
should be putting bodywork on tomorrow eve if all goes well.
i ran it for 1 hour on tickover tonight and the fan cuts in after approx 20 mins for about 30secs befor it has cooled enough then comes on approx every 10 mins after that, its great to know that it all works .
strange thing is i got rid of my ts1 because it was to fast for me and now i do this but hopefully it will be a low revving cruiser on its li150 20/46 gearbox.
its not been that expensive either ,
the basic kit was £1550,
barrel and head of ebay £75,
relining with a new teflon coated wossner piston £225
old readspeed 6 plate clutch
stator/brain/coil and power valve servo ebay £125
wiring harness £100
rads £200
fan £90
exhaust £225
fuel tank £155
battery free
primer £25
water hoses and a few other sundries £100
gasket sets £20
a lot of this was at cost.
i did build the engine myself, had a bit of help of chris on bits i was unsure about.i know of another home build as well. if you can build a bretta lump you can build this imho


i believe there are still 2 engine kits left as well

Also the li150 box has been chryogenically frozen £125

Mark didnt you say on the other forum that they still have kits for sale? is this correct? what those the "kit" include? I asked DAC many months back but they said they where fully booked for 2010.

Yes they do still have 2 kits for sale for homebuilds not built

blke looks the business what ignition did u use
