Right the vijay`s complete..when i built it I only used the frame, every panel/ cable/ wire/nut and bolt/wheels/tyres have been replaced with brand new which has left me with a silver container full of a scooter minus the frame! WHAT TO DO WITH IT!
Hence project Recycle Rebuild so its started

Fabrication starts, Just gone quiet at work after 4 mad months so keep the fab lads busy
Its gonna be a slow build over the year, Oh and I will be on the lookout for a GP frame not (italian)as it will be frenched and dont want to upset anyone and dont want to pay a milion pound of junk bay .The plan is to use as much of the curryburner as poss.

good plan.
or track down a genuine Electronic frame and use that ?
if the other rear runner is having the same lip, you may need to consider clearance for a lardy expansion ?

Amazing machine yam, but bloody expensive tooling and its about as reliable as a lambretta
