ok, this is my first scooter as im 16, the first pics are of how i got it, its not finished yet, im just awaiting a few more parts before the engine can go in and go for the mot etc. How i got it in october 07 then sprayed it and painted parts and got it like this, put the rear light in as i wasnt sure i liked it or not, i didnt so its now got a GS rear light then it went to this stage then fitted some more on this pic the seat is just resting on and so is the screen and rack this weekend i fitted the sparewheel carrier and spare wheel, grips, levers, gs rear light, brake pedal rubber. the engine is a 100cc with 4 speed, and has about a 110cc barrel and piston, also a leo vinci race exhaust, what sorta speed will be top/cruise do you think? got most parts to finish after the engine is back in... hope to go to the IOW rally this year on it what do ya think? p.s. ill get some updated pics tomorow if the weather is any good :wink:

Hi!
Nice first scooter you got. I like the look of the black horn cover and rims vs. the white paint.
Don't sure about the polished handlebars, but that's your choice.
Good luck with the rest of the re-assembly and getting it on the road.
Now, stick a huge engine in that beetle next ;D

hi mate, If you should be able to draw a line down through the headstock all the way to the front axle when you view the bike side on. Its hard to notice until you put em in.. i've done it loads of times. I may have a fork leg if you get stuck.

yeah, we wont hijack timelords thread drooling over your parmakit(carb? - mikuni?) and your fancy seat - is it comfy?
timelord - looks good, like the black horncover, you spraying the headset up i presume? the forks do look bent. where are you based? your speed will be limited by the 3 speed box, unless its been changed. 45mph, maybe a bit more?

I would also agree with the lads on the forks, they look bent.
I wouldn't go any further with them, I'd take em out and replace before you go any further with the build.
At a guess there are some people on here who would have some spare forks for sale.

Go 90/90 rather than the 3,5. Work will be needed to casings for 3.5 and can have issues where certain exhausts pass over the wheel. When i first bought my spesh took it out for a spin, got to 40 no probs (110cc) then the tyre expanded and touched the exhaust!! Looked like it had done it for a while by the state of the tyre!! ;D No wonder the prev owner said he wanted something fast.

Yokohama's are very good but I'm not sure you could fit them on Special forks.The Dunlop Duro's I got from Tony look good (if a bit frazzled ;D) but as there's 4" of snow here I'll decline to test them just now.
