Luna Help

[Fux]

Trust me, I think I have read most of the builds over there.

This one stands out for me.. http://lunaownersclub.lifediscussion.ne ... st-project

I love the way the box has been made under the tank in the frame and will definatly steal that Idea when rebuilt time turns up next winter.



Thats a stunning Idea to hide the electrickery. Thats thinking out the box (pun intended)

I have been talking to some guys and i am also considering buying a standard lui exhaust because I think it has to be better than the one I have now. I`m pretty sure its full of gunk and it rattles when I shake it.

That proberbly hurts performance some what.

One for the Vega buffs...

Why won`t a J range exhaust fit a luna?

[Snails]

Ive never tried but I suspect the mounting points are different. Also the port height is definitely different - by how much depends on the model I suppose - a 50 luna may have the same exhaust port position as a J50 but then again it might not. A vega 75 is not the same as say a J125. A hammer can help I'm told...

Ok, I`ll give that a miss.

I bought a normal lui pipe and I`ll upgrade to a "clubman" when casa get those in production and a larger carb.

Until then, I am still waiting for parts but there is a little glimmer of hope that I will get it sorted and be able to ride with the moped club fella`s next wednesday.

A clubman?

One thing about putting your electric under the tank is they are a little tricky to get to. Not as hard as placing them under your rear mudguard mind like mine but worth bearing in mind.

On the 12v ponts kit I can just use my original junction box and bracket so I`m not worried about that for now, but fitting stuff in the rack bolt is also a very good Idea.

As for the clubman...

At present (Oct.2015) Casa Lambretta doesn’t have a big bore exhaust option for the Casa 75cc kit when fitted to a Lui (the J range equivalent exhaust ‘X42’ will not fit a Lui). However, all that is about to change as the lads in the RLC workshop have just built such an exhaust - and this will be tested on Brian’s scooter. If all goes to plan then they will immediately go into production.

I think if someone made a Vega pipe they could sell them at a premium price because judjing by the state of the inners on mine, allmost none of the originals are in good nic anymore.

Yes Scootopia remade some Vega pipes about five years ago - £220 each

[Fux]

Doesn`t help me now!!

haha...

You can get a Vega pipe from some site in Belgium - not your std buck rogers job, a 'race' pipe. Have you seen them?

[Fux]

Yeah, that one is a bit too obvious. If you get what I mean?

Although I love the high side pipe I have now, I prefer the normal lui style over amodern looking expansion.
