Started with the helmet cover.
This is made from black PP plastic.

Searched for a long time for black PP plastic, that was not easy.
Most of the PP plastic is grey.
But i found some and started making them to the right size.
Welded them from 2 sides.

The outside is easy, inside was a bit harder.
Cant reach it with the heatgun, but managed to do it.

Under the seat there will be 2 zones, first is where the airfilter will be.
The second zone is where i place a lock, gloves and other small stuff.

Resumed with the helmet cover.
The rear side is now closed.
Next step is to make the 2 zones.

Thinking how i should finish the rear zone, maybe i wil send that to a upholsterer.

The Runner has no RPM indicator.
But that is going to change.
Did some testing today with a old 50cc cockpit.
The RMP indicator is from Koso.

The sticker of the cockpit will be custom made, with the extra opening for the RPM indicator.
The rest will look just like original, and the text Gilera will be placed above the speedometer.

Amazing work so far!!! Keep it up!! On my old Runner 180, I had combined two speedos in one, to have a tachometer. The stock one that came with the scooter and one from an NRG MC3 DD...

Resumed with the helmet cover.
Made the front part, this can be opened and closed.
Below that part comes the movable hose for the airfilter.
And i will try to mount the fuses below that front part.

Lets start with this task...

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

The plan was to use the Vespa GTS dual throttle system.
But with the 2 extra bends i had to make to make it fit it turns heavy.
So i won't use the return cable.
To keep it safe, i will install a Piaggio Mp3 500 kill switch.
Gave it the same position as the left light switch, but then on the right side .

Also tested the rmp indicator on the Beverly, it is verry accurate with the original Beverly rpm indicator.
What is displayed is times 10.

The custom made Goodridge brake lines arrived.
Slowly all the parts are coming in.

Made a stand where i placed the Beverly Cruiser rear fender on.
This goes to the paint shop today to be painted the same color as the foot covers.

Started with routing the brake lines.
Need some other clamp sizes, the rest is okay.
At the rear i applied black teflon spiral where the rear fender begins.
When doing that, the brake line blends in a bit.
Looks better in my opinion.

The cilinderhead cover and downpipe are now at Zircotec.
They will recieve a Endurance Graphite ceramic coating.
This reduces the heat from those parts for around 25%.

Cockpit layout is coming together.
In the layout there is place for the rpm indicator.
And the text is changed at some places.

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text


Because the fuel tank is bigger at the front now.
There was no room for the horn, fuses and light relay.
So made a small bracket to place them beside the bigger fuel tank.

Wiring is coming together.

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text


The voltage regulator is behind the right side cover.
It will get cold air from the side air intake in the side cover.
But to give it some extra flow i modified and installed a small 12 volt fan.

Also made the hole for the fuse box, and placed them in the helmet conver.

Nice!

How does the fuel gauge work with your custom tank? I mean, how does it get calibrated to read the correct level with a custom setup?

It is below in the tank.
And it can only measure the last 5 litres.
So when the fuel gauge goes down, i know i am running on the last 5 litres.

Started putting the cockpit back together.
First had to close the hole for the daycounter. ( not installed in this one, but the plate is the same)
Did that with the Bison 2 component glue.
When it was dry/hard, i made the new hole for the rpm indicator.

In the new housing there was no place for the Koso rpm indicator.
So opened the new housing, and took a part out of a housing that did had a rpm indicator.
First melted in place with the same stainless steel mats that i used for the fuel tank.
Then put on the 2 component glue.

On the km counter i made a small flat mounting spot, to mount on the Koso rpm indicator.
Made it with the same stuff as the housing.

Placed the sticker, and glued in the small end pins.
Modified the warning lights from a Gilera Runner pure jet.
This has the ecu warning light.
And added the overtemp light, this is what a Beverly Cruiser 500 original has.

The modified Beverly Cruiser rear fender is back from the paint shop.
It has the same plastic structure, and the same color as the foot covers.
And a mat clear coat.

The light is painted the same color, but left it smooth.
Installed the light and reflector.

Worked on the engine.
Removed the left lower engine lug.
Did this because the engine is top mounted, and where the left lower engine lug was, there needs to be space for the new frame.
The right lower engine lug was already gone, that is alway's the case with a Cruiser 500 engine.

Removed the original cilinderhead and cilinder.
All is still verry clean, but that is what you can expect with only 3221Km.
Installed the new HPE cilinder and piston with a ceramic coating.
Measured the thickness for the base gasket.
Installed 4 new studs.
Installed the new modified cilinderhead.
The cilinderhead cover is for now the one without the ceramic coating.

Installed all the brake lines on the front fork.
Installed all the bearings, and used plenty of grease.
And installed the front fork in the frame.
Also installed the black powder coated brake lever, i did not like the shiney one.
And resumed with the cooling system.

The battery on the right is the one that i will use.

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

Finished the fuel system.
The fuel line is a new original line from a Beverly.
Took out what i need on both ends.
From the injector it has to make a sharp bend, and this also has to stay that way.
The way to do this is to insert around 22cm of 8mm copper brake line.
These are easy to bend.
This only works on places where the fuel line is in a fixed position. (No moving parts)

And here it is, the engine is running.
Already filled it with G12 coolant, and bleeded out all the air.
Still have to do a littlebit of wiring, brakes and covers.
But the engine runs!
