just need to put up a tree for it to sit under , an convince management ive been a good enough boy to deserve another scoot for chrimbo .                                                                        1974 vespa v50s ,with px/polini177 , mallosi inlet n pipe, pk front forks an primmy headset , a "go-scoot,not a show-scoot" , unfortunately not got space/cash to keep forever so my xmas pressie to myself will be 3 months insurance an around 500 miles shakedown runs .

That looks fun! If you have some time, could you post some pics of that mudguard, on a p fork? I need to find a solution for a vnb with a p fork. Many thanks!

ok, so long as you dont tell on me over in smallie world ,in my defence i didnt start the conversion just corrected the god awful hack-job somebody else did .it was cheap an if i hadnt bought it the px was going to be robbed out n frame probably scrapped .
its a v50spesh muddy ,i think, least ways looks rightish shape an came with the spesh crest glued on , an was in the original blue colour inside frame , so a 74 v50s i think . been badly re-drilled around the fork leg hole to match pk forks,an if ya look carefully about 2" above side bolt you can see original v range forks bolt hole .the line on the horncasts ok an it sits nice to the leggys , but does expose a lot off leg ,the little minx???.would look better with a fancy shock ,but as forks n shock are brand new i'll leave that for nxt owners choice .
i think its going to be lots of trial fits ,re-drilling an maybe washers/spacers under the front top mount hole in muddy to tilt it down at rear edge so it doesnt foul on full lock.doubt if theve reached the colonys but ere in blighty theres body kits to make px's look like stings gs clone in quadrophenia, a certain film some love an i think would be better if "actors" didnt keep getting in way of scooters. the gs mudguard is same "droopy straw hat/wobbly kids 1st attempt at clay pot making" shape as vba .a mates just got the kit so will have a look at muddy ,if rains stops i'm supposed to fix/look at his lawnmower today ,not even a 2 stroke 1 but a 4 . kits in the bomb shelter where mower lives so will take piccys , its a "world war part2 " house not a nuclear war paranoid 1 .
might also be worth checking "me" 's thread "just finished this" over in smallie world , a green pk with vbb muddy ,much better piccys too ,as my phones overdue a upgrade an camera lens is fogged/greasy .
as for "fun" , yep , might even die laughing on this one . H

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction H. As for the p engine in a smallframe, I'm more a do what you want type, if others dont like it,they can go away. Respect the work put in, not the conformation to somebody else ideal. This vnb has a p125 motor with 177 kit, p fork. like you, making better/safe, an abandoned project. That and my p200 spun the flywheel, killing the crank. So i need a little distraction from that pain.
