Modern Vespa

So I scored a GL at the Auction at Amerivespa - It is missing the engine side cowl so if anyone had a line on one that would fit pls let me know.,

So when I got it Voodoo helped me get it home - THanks V. - and we stuck a bit of gas in it and got it started!! Last night I changed to a 20/20 carb and took off the rotted exhaust and stuck a Sito + spare i had on it. Checked the tank and holy shit!!! pretty clean - stuck in a gallon ! After a few Idle jet swaps had it running pretty damm good and took it for a spin to Voodoos house to surprise him!! Now I just need to unstick the back brake and change some tires -oil etc! Pretty stoked...

I picked up a GL too, also missing the engine side cowl (had one but off a sprint and messed up). Clutch is slipping on mine, so no riding for me yet. body is in remarkably good shape.

Leaves me with the issue of needing to get rid of a bike and not really wanting to give any of them up.

Nice GL's you two!

Sweet - you were there ?
damm I've always wanted to meet you .. We probably chatted ...lol
I also got that sprint in the back ground - it needs a bit more work but i see potential. So thats two of us looking for a cowl...
heheheh

Victor probably has a pile of cowls lying around somewhere lol

SIP has a repop that'll do I suppose ...

I might do some crazy art on it ...

Yeah plenty -but NOT GL cowls they're sorta unique as far as i know = i tried ones from all my scoots to no avail. ... I am going to possibly sell the Sprint cowl he threw on there to some one to offset buying a new one ..

The Cobra is finally here!!! Counting the hours to get off work...

Exhaust is fitted. Playing with jets now...

sexy looks, quality welds & mounts and even a gusset to the can - what's not to like?

Bingo! No dings, creases or rust and good luck finding an original in any condition. Under a hundred... Do it!

Lovely GL's you guys. Awesome.

Safis the pipe sounds great. Very jealous!

Today I....discovered I have been keeping my spare bulbs in the wrong place. The P.O. of my smallie had some unique ideas besides the camo paint....digging in finally...checking the periphery and cables in preparation for lift-off on a couple weeks.

The bottom pic is hands down the neatest headset wiring I've ever seen

Not my skillz...Let's hope it all connects cleanly to the back of the scoot! Charging battery and tightened up the indicators. Engine twill be at casa SoCal next week!

Went through both bikes I plan to use for each day of our annual rally. Found a frayed clutch cable on the GT. Would have sucked to snap while leading the ride. Always pays to check everything routinely. Got to run that sucker outside at twilight. I really need one of those head mounted flashlight doodads.

Trying my best to have my P up to snuff an legal for about 200 miles of riding tomorrow.

Spent 3 hours at the DMV getting the paperwork started on the GL. Next step is a trip to the CHP for inspection.

Im going to go Vermont route .. seems a bit easier... maybe...

Also u see that SIP has repop GL cowls that look ok - i linked to them up the page ..

Yup saw those, I'll pick up a set once the paperwork is in the clear.

Got my folding kickstart working. Half LML forged steel lever & half Yamaha Enduro forged lever.


Tucked in & up some as well for a nice long kick.

Take a peek at this thread for help if you need it.

I like the looks of it, found it here too, with more pictures:

That is super neat Terry! When do you go into production? Really interesting! Looks like he uses a Piaggio 7-spring gear to mesh with the primary drive, and it opens from the cover side as opposed to the normal way. http://www.crimaz.it/frizione-cmx-per-vespa-largeframe/

god ya remember the buzzetti folding kickstart.... real shin smasher that was

The capital equipment is in place, the production line fully staffed and standing by. Send your compatible steel Vespa style lever & steel motorcycle lever of choice for quick service. Please be advised you may need to eliminate or cut a large gap in your motor side cowl.

I do remember those and they go for gold on ebay these days. Vader had one & binned it for the reason you gave. This one is high & tucked in so hoping won't be a problem. Was more dangerous previously w/ that sticky outy thing on a skinny bike.

Standing by with cowl adjuster...

A short video with the Cobra 220. Carb nearly dialed in. I just love hearing this exhaust...

Spending the day at the DMV with my daughter so she can get her first full Driver's License.

She better pass her driving test, because this process suuuuucks!

Skip Calif and go straight to Vermont! CHP in Calif can be real hit and miss! Vermont, all by mail baby!

Not an option with a damaged VIN, also the California route is not that hard with an in-state bill of sale.

The smallie engine has a seal that is literally glued in and I am having to Apply solvent and scrape out without thrashing the area. Had to level out the case on the table so the solvent can do it's work. Found a good solution to keep the area level..

putting a barrel of Lager on to brew

never made it to event as i run out of fuel
