Hi fella`s,
I`m bored and saved up some pennies.
I am looking at fitting some mc handlebars on my tv2, and looking for advice on where to find a good gear change and quick action throttle? Are the ones on beedspeed any good?
I`m also looking for a digi-speedo and rev counter that wil fit in my original LD toolbox. Looks like the circumfrance is 58mm inner?
I`m also looking for a headlight and wonderd which size doesn`t look daft?
And a last question (for now), is where do you fellas buy those mudgaurds that adorn skellies? Prefrerably not chrome so it doesnt make a mess of my acid bath..... Also pictures of drop/ chop bar setups, skellie front ends apprecieted.
Cheers,
Rob
ps, anyone want a leaky but reparable rimini lambretta tank or a lovely B-race snail gimmi a shout.

My chop gearchange is a modified Puch Maxi Deluxe one (3-speed) with a modified lever arm on the engine. The other tidy gearchange method is to use a push-pull MC throttle with a bored-out clutch lever bracket clamped to the outside.

I was looking at the 2 wire throttle levers, is there a preferance size?
Most of the quick action throttles I`ve seen look crap.
Thats why I am asking here.
