The definition of resourcefulness.

I would like to see a tutorial on how to turn a rear hub into a front hub, and how to fit a disc on a non-disc hub with backyard engineering

Great result!

and yes, i have to drop the swing arm and disc brake caliper to change the tyre, another reason why i want to make a wider guard but to thing is i will have to spent extra coin in paint it, i'll hold to the tiny guard for now
If you split the guard then you can take just half off to change the wheel - like mine =) Then you can keep the guard looking fitted.

Like so...

Year end gift..
I gave the pink vespa its new year gift.. Total dismantle and over haul the engine.. Since i found some good used bearing why not put it on the pink engine and change the cruciform, thw xmas pivot, the crankshaft seal, modified clucth oil path hoping it will make my clutch plate last longer and do a proper Vader style cleaning while i borrow Mr. Toni tools and engine stand Razz emoticon

Not done yet still missing something, maybe tonight so wish me luck and cheer

Looking good Ebeth!
Gonna feel good cruising on the rebuild - just a little bit more confidence when you wind her up a little.
