I hate to say this, but I bought a SIP loom for my US Rally 200 with indicators, and ended up having to modify it extensively to match the electronics in the bike. I had thought it would just be minor mods to get the indicators hooked up. But in fact the CDI, horn, and even brake pedal switch wiring were all different between the original harness and the SIP one. In hindsight I felt I would have been better off just making up a whole loom from scratch to match the original.

This may not be an issue for you if you are replacing other electrical components or you have already mapped out the connections and you know you're good. Just a heads up...

I really appreciate this thread. I found it when doing some research, and was about to buy the same loom.

The SIP loom seems fine, as long as you configure it exactly as it's designed, I guess. Using the same switches and such.

It seemed like a big pain to make it adapt to a 1974 American bike, with all the weird/unique things.

I'm just going to make one from scratch instead.

Well I did it, re routed the loom in front of the steering lock. What is this black ground for and where does it go ?
Also I am putting in all new components and the euro style blinkers on the handlebars.

Mine was under a screw where the throttle tube stop is. But I'm on a VNA so yours won't be the same but it should go somewhere on the stem of the headset. The stem being the part that slides onto the fork tube. That chunk of metal. Should be able to attach it to that

Thx man! Slow but steady! So next thing is I am working on the front fork. I put in a new shock (wrestled it in) and I am at stuck on the spring. I did a spring for an Allstate but this seems different. I took off the nut holding the spring and removed the hub and the brakes. Do I remove the bolt which holds the breaks and the swing arm?
If so do I take out that 10mm bolt on the other side?

Sorry to say, if I remember right you need to do this in the reverse order. Put the spring on first while everything is loose, then the shock. When I did it, I had the fork already in the bike. I attached the shock at the top, and then had a friend push the front end down repeatedly while I tried to pop the bottom bolt through. That worked better than trying to slowly compress and hold the spring.

Well he's doing the spring first as well. I think he has the same problem, figuring out how to compress it enough to line everything up. The spring wants to resist compression, so you either need to tension it manually with straps or something, or you need to force it down all at once like I did. I couldn't get straps or zip ties to work, and I couldn't lever it down with anything either. Maybe if I'd had a larger pry bar.

It doesn't look like taking off the middle pivot bolt would help that much. I've only done this once so I can only tell you what worked for me - spring first.

oh yeah. Pain.

No need to take off the pivot.

install the spring first. you can kind of screw down the top mount a bit, so it's easier to fit through. then move it back out.

Should be able to do this with a channel lock, and something that protects the threads from getting chewed.

The shock. attach the bottom part first. It has a key/slot that fits in the swing arm.

Put the hub back on (not super tight), and you can usually get it into place just pushing on it.

Moving this it farther makes it easier to get the top bolt in.

1. Then move the top shock mount back. <br />2. attach the bottom bolt first.

Oh noes!

Something is bent, most likely the fork, I hate to have to tell you.

Make sure the two sections are both parallel to each other and that viewed front-on, it's all straight and in line. The easiest way to do it is to take some good photos from each angle and then draw lines on it on the computer.

I know you don't need me to tell you how to use the search function, but I was curious myself...

Front fork / fender installed right? suggests among other things you may have a bearing or spacer wrong/missing/etc. If you think about it, basically getting the fork to sit slightly lower in the tube might be all you need.

(Full disclosure: I have never dropped the fork in a Vespa.)

It's pretty obvious if you put a fork in without them (or even the bearings). You get a lot worse misalignment that that if you stick a bare fork in the frame, though. OP will have to let us know current state to be sure, though.

How much clearance should be between horn mount and fender? Maybe someone with same model can give you an idea what that clearance should be. So you have an idea of how much you need.

What about how fender mounts? Does it have front and back mounts? Could you put a washer under a front mount to give it a bit more angle to help with clearance?

Did you do any metal work to fender? Could you have bent fender so it rubs in one direction?
