well, 12bhp is what a stock 80s 200 vespa put out so maybe you can go out and challenge some scooterboys down the chipshop

Have a blue smoke competition maybe, well it will look better than scooter that's for sure .

Fork legs are back and my new shrouds and seals are here so just need to rebuild them ,

 

[devilsbro]

Not a lot happening at the min with all this rubbish weather and stuff , but i managed to pick up a second hand head light bowl, I've had it chrome dipped which was dearer than the bowl 🤦*♂ but it looks good .

Well been waying up pros and cons for my d7 engine , looking at the d10 and d14 the only difference is porting, bigger carb 22mm to 26mm and big bore exhaust and higher compression head ratio , piston are all the same. so this is the route I'm going d7 bottom end 3 speed with high friction clutch plates and heavey duty springs, d14 head with rex's modified Suzuki 64mm piston and a centre plug head with the correct machining to get correct compression which has been supplied with the piston kit , and change the jets to suit .. should be good fo double figures 7.5hp to 14/15+ hp, for less than a couple hundred I think it's worth it .. baring in mind I'm doing most the labour myself ..

Got all the d7 cases and d14 barrel soda blasted now to get it bored out now to fit the new piston going for a +40 and see how it goes with centre plug head and bigger carb.

Well fitted a new Smith's speedo being optimistic 80 mph top speed 😂

Update as where I'm up to frame and tank are powder coated adjustable rear shocks and a few other bits fitted , engine still in a pile of bits and I still need a lot of bits..

 

[devilsbro]

Picked up some second hand wheels keeping the price down of to the powder coaters .

 

[devilsbro]

Got my wheels back from the powder coaters after nearly4 months .

 

[yantosh]

they go in just as lock down hit?

 

[devilsbro]

Yeah pretty much ive waited 4 months, but still had to chase as I knew they were still working. Basically pushed me a side for bigger profit jobs.

Has it been this long since I've been on well I'll be restarting this very soon indeed
