You got it, my fav band ..the rear shock rubber came sat morning so i was all set for a full weekend of doing stuff..got about half hr into it n sliced the tip of my thumb open ( b*ll**)..cleaned n bandaged up for the rest of the day..struggled too even roll a smoke with only 1 good thumb so gave up for the day n got wasted..just had 4more hrs listening too the rain on the bikecave roof while i went mental and made some headway...from a distance it looks almost rideable now .(nowhere near in reality)..need selecter box putting back on..all cables/electrics reconnecting..filling with engine oil..get the 177 kit on and see if it,ll run and start marking panels and arse end for cutting..(they,re all jobs for next week..strongbow and silver rizla time now) The rubber block i been waiting for Back on the old shock for now..dont need to break the new n out for a practise build 1 ruined thumb later and the 1st time in ownership the little sh*tebag is sat on its wheels..historic moment..i can sit on it making bike sounds when im stoned now at least Might as well bung the panels seat and rack back on to get get some true "before" piccys if the rain ever stops i,ll get it out in the yard n take some proper 1ns, Im lucky to have a very good friend that owns his own bike garage/mot station/showroom so this coming weeks works gonna be done on 1 of there hydraulic ramps which should make things easier and quicker..didnt take a pic but offered up the stereo console to the frame and its a great fit..happy happy The close of play today LOON-E

Cheers H will broaden my search for the indys,,with living at work (it feels like atm) im getting very little done..did meet up with the etcher today and left him the kicker and selector box cover to go too town on..should have em back in a week or 2 Im Dj,ing at a (not so legal) party tommoz night in a field so apart from a quick trip to the mates bikeshop in the morn, nothing is happening this weekend. Gotta get a gasket set ordered n from readng other threads on here a 22 cosa cog should be on the list? and a few other odds and sods...i seem too be spending a lot of time..and money with VE and Beedspeed atm...any other places i should be checking out?? And Henri the more i think about the driver/utah slatted screen..the more i really want 1, but struggling too warrant spending more than a ton on 1 if every kind soul on the forum could keep there eyes and ears open cheers would be muchio appreciated 1 more question b4 i start looking at spending even more (arrghh!!..lucky the fams away this weekend)...my front disc...is there a wavey/alternative out there ?? LOON-E

oh ,yes , wavey , sharks tooth ,(never got that 1 but saw it listed) , an fancy coloured grimenca calipers ,bout same price as piaggio stock but colour co-ordinated ,an with bleed nipples not made from cheese , if ya nipples crackered (oohh er missus) sip do em for bout 12 quid , my local bike shop (wemoto) do coloured armoured brake lines for £27 , try local to you , bit of bling on the cheap, as your thinking of upping the bhp a 22 tooth clutch should be on ya list , cosa if ya like easy lever action ,older type take more abuse tho, unless ya go the extra bob n get a banded basket ,surflex plates are my choice , as for VE/beedys , i find beedys ok , but like to spread my butter on as many slices as i can , twisted rods (toms) ok , (for a welshman) ,welsh scooter parts ok-ish , buzzsolomotor ok , my local allstyles ,really good , old skool bling an all round nice guy discodez , an for little widgets/gizmo's n other stuff hard to find SIP is king ,websites easy ,prices reasonable an postage fast , but for basic iron wear/rubbers/cables e bay/india , electronics can be poor quality but the rest ,well where do ya think english shops get there stock,beedys call it "swiss" , an it aint a cuckoo clock , as for the screen ,haunt the tinterweb , faecesbook , px /scooterist for sale/cosanaut/everything smallframe/t5 pages , aswell as "vespa for sale" tho on last 1 admin can take months to add ya to group, i do a half hour a morning early an swoop on bargains early ,plus e bay but not under utah driver screen ,they know what it is an its worth ,more generic vespa flyscreen or scooter flyscreen an patience an you will get 1 cheaper , H

Already got a hel brake line but will prob get swapped for a new varient 22 seems too be the way forward..what do i need too order too get 1 boshed straight into mine?..that prob sounds a really stupid ask but im from a pre cosa/starter motor age From what i see my W plate disc (MY) model was standard bar the can if it,ll crack 60 with the kit n can i,ll be fine..its all about the trip over the destination on a vespa LOON-E

Sept 1st and just a bit of headway,,quick question for those still following this thread , all the bits have now arrived..but my 22 tooth cog is outta stock, if i take a 21 that is in stock rather than wait will it be worth it over the 20 thats in now..or should i wait the extra days for the 22? Cheers People LOON-E
