new project - malossi v100

[timelord]

heres my new project, bought as just a frame off ebay, it will have lammy forks and sx drop bars, malossi reed engine but anyway, heres some pics and ill update this thread when it progresses

heres the frame, its fairly straigjt but needs a new floor,
under seat and engine compartment brush painted hammerite black





heres the seat i manged to pick up cheap from the scooter shop today



and also a new head cowling



i started putting the engine together today after slowly porting and polishing the cases over he past few weeks



not sure if the third port was always there or has been added in the past sometime?



enlet matched to an enlarged reed manifold (advised by readspeed)





polini up-gear kit (cheers ash )



started assembly



bit more



underside had to be modified a bit to get the larger circular pk type cable connector wheel to fit



flyside started to be cleaned up, might polish later



bit of a flyside modification so i can stick the reed manifold out the side





and the pipe im using (cheers again ash)



and the sx drops




only a few bits left engine wise,

clutch side oil seal
24mm worb 5 full circ crank
conversion bearing
malossi kit
stator



i have a pwk 28mm flatslide carb to go on and a hp4 flywheel

still got quite a few bits for the frame to get but its coming along at a good pace, im thinking for the frame the focus st blue and satin black parts?


ill update soon ;D

[scooterslag]

good work fella but will your SX drops clear the top of your legshields ok? I've known people who have bought GP/SX drops and have had problems with them on Lammies

[timelord]

yeah it all fits ok, just a bit of shortening to the steerer tube on the forks and itll all be fine

[sugarlump]

Good looking project fella. Have a look at that floor though

[madmax]

Nice one Luke.

[timelord]

thnx guys, should be gettin more engine pars next week, prob crank and conversion bearin

[madmax]

How cheap was the seat? Where you got it from?

Cheers.

[timelord]

£25 brand new with the pin that goes in the frame, i wasnt planning on getting one but i couldnt refuse

[madmax]

25 quid? I want one. Where did you get it from and do they have more? ;D

[vinrouge]

Nice one, well done. Would have to agree with Max that seat looks a real bargain

[225worb]

Hmmmmm looking good .......finished for the new year then

[timelord]

got no more i dont think, ill ask next time im in, hopefully not long after the new year, march latest im hoping, ready for the rally season ;D

[timelord]

well, engine is nearly built, just gotta put top end on which wil be in the next couple of weeks, been collecting bits and bobs and have just started frame mods, so far

steerer tube shortened and welded, headset modified slightly and top od legshields lowered by around 15mm and slightly re-shaped to allow bars to turn, grips are 5 inch lower than standard smallframe and still lots work to do to leggshields ;D

horncast bottom has been temporarily removed but will be welded back on but reshaped with a lambretta gp mudguard, all welded so no seams as i couldnt get a vespa mudguard to work

bellypan just resting in rough position

let me know what you think so far

pics in order























still gotta weld legshield glovebox on aswell as de seam it and cut carb hole and fit new floor,

more updates soon, looks street racer stylee

[Perkin]

Going to be something a bit different, isn't it?

Make sure you give us more pics...

[gazzman]

hi there,not really into cut downs and modding,but got to say it looks like its gonna be a pretty cool looking machine once finished,nice one.

and yeh keep the pics coming ;D ;D

although i think i might do one myself sometime in the near future if the frame aint upto much,kind of getting to like the looks of some of them lol ;D ;D

[madmax]

Hey Luke, coming on nicely.

One thing though, have you checked the clearance between the frame and the floor? It looks a bit low to me.

[timelord]

hi, clearance is about 1/4 inch more than standard smallie, got some more pics of mudguard, bellypan and de-seaming bit will put those on tomorrow

[madmax]

oh ok. ;D

[timelord]

also, legshields have been lowered by around 1" and im getting floor tomorrow ;D
