not a lot really ,
just to give the carb a little more space to breath ,that and i had an old triumph car that had one and its kind of a throw back to that oh and to show off my pannel beating

i think the speed blocks look the business.

Bbbbbbut it looks just like a Lambretta Ric, you run out of grinding discs?

The toolbox looks good too.

like the bulg... I was thinking about getting something like that done, but upright, so I can run a remote airfilter on my carb

all very good reasons
yeah, the RD-esque blocks will work well

i could not have cut this one ,this scooter was one i had at 18 ,blew up half a dozen times finaly wiping out the crank case when the piston skirt droped off and was sold on ,it then turned up again some 12 years later on a scrap mans truck ,luckily the scrap man took it to a mates house rather than the crusher

Yep- love the speed blocks - simple but so effective. How's the rest of the build going ? Doing the paint yourself ?
