HI,
when i replaced wheel bearings and some engine bearings i went to our local Hayles bearings dealer in lynn,just gave him the lot and 5mins later he came back with SKF bearings.
Vespa dealer price £90 for them
i paid £35 .
nuff said.
if you tell them what the bearings are for they will supply the right quality.

HI Mate, Oh blimey, I have come to the conclusion,that by owning a Vespa, we are paying for our sins in another life. . Thats why i also own a modern plastic scoot that starts stops and never seems to go wrong, not the same challenge i grant you but very stress free, . happy hammer and chiseling .

Those nice folk at J B bikes Wibeech have cured my Vespa. The new shiny CDI unit i bought was defunct, so they have fitted a pattern one instant vroom. roll on the sunshine lets get scooting. By the way my new 300 city line is a most splendid machine for getting to and fro big distances,but i still love me GT 200,warts and all. have a good year scooting.
