Modern Vespa

It's not a Vespa, is this allowed here?

Picked up this White LUI earlier this summer. I always thought they looked cool. It is actually a lot of fun to ride and it is super light. Bonus, everything on the engine is easy to access and there is all sorts of room for exhausts.

I originally wanted to do a CP135 build, but the costs involved are more than I can justify after some other recent projects.

I decided on a CP105, claims have been made to be capable of 10hp and 60mph, we'll see.
So this winter I am going to:
-thoroughly clean and polish the bike
-new tires
-CP105 cylinder
-VM24
-Sole Power Pipe
-New cables
-budget clutch upgrade
-front dampers

That shouldn't take all winter, but I always have other things going on. As long as it is ready by the Spring I will be happy.
Probably an ignition upgrade and possibly a 4 speed upgrade at some point, but I am going to see how this rides first.

Wow, never heard of that one! Looks like Lammy front suspension with mini ape hangers. Looks fun.

Lui's are bad ass, way cooler than starstreams or centos. Oddball bike over here but far out styling.

Sweet!

Your recent project choices are all top shelf. Keep us updated on progress.

This beautiful Sole Power pipe arrived today.

Yes please, keep your Lammy thread going! You can really see Bertone's handiwork on the design of the Lui. I'm tempted to also start up my own wintertime lammy S3 build as well. It's nice to have everything documented so that you can go back and see what all you have done.

Agree, I have only began posting about builds recently. Each time it has turned out to be extremely useful for me later on, either I forget a detail about what gearing I used or some other useful information that I am able to look back at.

The design work is pretty fantastic.

I agree. There are a few more stateside now. DOS Cycles in Atlanta, GA has been bringing some over.
