Hi Mate,

Can you let me know where the glovebox came from?

Also was the mudguard a repro one? if so - how was the quality?

Cheers,

Hi David
I've had this case welded by a grown up :D I just tided it up

I have used jbweld to increase the transfer area / gasket face on my imola after I opened up the transfers, it's has covered a fair few thousand miles without incident.

picture of how thin the walls were after opening up for imola kit (sorry dont have a piccy of jbweld insitu)

I posted this in the standard scoots section, but ...

Can anyone post some pictures of framebreather panel slots?

Preferably with the badges in place

Even more preferably with some dimensions!

I have some non breather panels and was keen to hand do some slots in them for my S1

Some of these shots are spectacular, even if some of the things done to the scoot aren't really my thing. I appreciate the effort. Keep on scooting!

The mod you have done on the rear mudguard, will there still be enough clearance when suspension at bottom of travel.

great work by the way.

@ Lam46 I bought the rear brake setup off the interweb...pos originates from Saigon Scooters. There's oodles of ground clearance, the only way this bad boys gonna hit the deck is if the forks snap at the top and damaging the brake will be the last thing on my mind then!!!!

@ leigh The mudguard is a remade item and didn't fit up to the rear of the scoot (like I've seen on pukka versions, its about and inch short), so I'm not 100% certain its going to fit anyway, in any case the cut out only protrudes an inch into the mudguard / wheel area, again there's shed loads of space here.
