Re: vespa t5 torquee pipe ??
The pipe i've got on my T5 is the taffspeed goldline . Best of both worlds really. Good torque and allows good rev on. Another bonus is that you can also use the main stand and carry a spare. WSP are selling them again on ebay although the price seems to have risen alot in comparison to what they w...

Re: RB 250 Set Up
Yes I'll be knocking the CC's down. I didn't realise AF offered head options. Thinking back I think MB and AF have had differing views on cylinder heads? At Taffspeed I have used the 10.5 high comp head AF option then machined it so no head gasket is used & dowelled central with the squish 1.5m...

Re: Small end bearing
20mm Or 22mm? I have a race crank (shimmed big end for cenralising the con rod) so do I need a 20mm or 22mm small end bearing, or doesn't it really matter. It's got a 20mm in at the moment but as I'm replacing the piston I thought it would be a good idea to see if I had the correct small end bearin...
