bump

Any one have Primavera parts 125 1974.

I have a Leo Vince pipe for a P200 and a stock p exhaust .

Wingnut.

Thanks Professor Plum ! I've been looking for that Rally headlight adj. Forever...

I have a stock top end that needs some work. Not free, but I'm not trying to break the bank for it

Send me a pm if you're interested.

Thanks to this thread I ended up buying a gently used Corsa Racing Seat from adastra to replace my original single saddle. It's the smallie version, but fits onto a large frame with included bracket (the big size is evidently too big for Supers and VBBs).

Best purchase I have my for my scoot EVER. That's "E-V-A-H!" beating outs loads of other goodies that have all been very good improvements in their own right.

It totally transforms the ride. Not only is the riding position way better (further back allows for more of a crouch), but I can actually FEEL where the back end is planted and the handling comes to life. The centre of gravity is a little lower, obviously a bonus, but the seat also requires a different part of the body to turn in -- it used to be sort of the upper inner legs against the saddle (like when you're riding hands-free on a bicycle) and now it's a hip thing, and much, much easier to lower a knee.

It's not just being less upright and lower, but feeling like my ass is actually part of the machine. Before I guess it was a floaty feeling, way up high with lots of spring/coil movement separate from the frame itself, whereas now the feels is low and rock solid. I can't even begin to describe it... even the handlebars feel different and more responsive -- the rake/caster angle hasn't changed but now it's more about control through shoulders and less about elbows.

In a nutshell: less knees and elbows, more hips and shoulders for a full body experience. I've carved some of the best turns in three years over last night and today with no trepidation whatsoever -- it just felt _solid_. I can't believe what I was missing.

F(#$(ing awesome!!!

Thanks for starting this thread, JimH, I never would have even thought about buying such a seat if I hadn't seen it here for a bargain. And thanks, adastra, for sorting through the shipping hassles.

You folks rock!!

This thread is truly amazing.
Thanks Jim for starting the thread and thanks a million for
the parts you sent me to get my VNB back on the road.
Dave

yep, it is amazing...that we have stuff layin around that we say we'll sell some day, but in reality, the only way it's leaving the garage is to give it the fuck away..........

i have given away

down tube and tap for lammy
et3 head
primmy 125 head
small frame tank
tractor light and new lens

what did i get

room for more tools and a empty bin

priceless

Nice! That sure beats another year hanging on the wall in my garage!

Hey there everyone,
in going through my garage I found these, up for grabs, I'm sure shipping wouldn't be a big expense either.
A gasket rebuild kit and a 1/4 splined kickstart.
PM me and we'll make it happen.

...if anyone has an 8" spare tire holder for the inside of the leg shield, I'm interested.
Like either of these:

Fantastic mate.

This thread is really helping folk get what they need.

Scooter power

Cheers everyone

Sort of a bump...

I've still got a complete 100 Sport Headset, primed and in perfect condition. Also a banged up set of turn signals. Far from perfect but some good parts there if your set is almost there. A slightly bent smallframe fork(I don't know, maybe you have some custom idea for it). Also a repro smallie taillight in chromed plastic, perfect in the box. Also a never used p200 battery.

Not free generally but cheap and I'm all about trades.

Looking for: smallie taillights(et3 style or something interesting in metal), 4spd gearbox although I might have one on the way. 10" smallie rear hub. Aaannnndddd tons of other stuff so if you want something offer me a trade.
Cheers

I need a center channel mat and a kick starter rubber, the ones I got from "wherever" are already starting to dry rot, crack and fall apart after only a year.

If anyone has a line on a good used one or even better new old stock. let me know.

Otis or Rick:

Does either one of you still have the rim? I sent PMs but never got responses.

I dont have much since i am sill fresh to the vintage scooter scene. but i have a few used parts parts to offer:

HT Coil, this is new never used.
grey cowl rubber that i put but swapped for the black instead

used:
horn with gasket
stator plate
reserver fuel rod
8 inch wheel
125 head
fly wheel (couple of fins in sad condition)


im looking for:
headlight for a handlebar headset
a switch for a the same
neither need to be pretty

thanks for looking.

Dan

Sure - I was just waiting for the paypal for the postage.

Shipped the rim today Travis.

Rick

Nice Rick

Cheers

Thanks boss! So excited to actually have a spare tire! Woohoo for highway riding now.

NO you have a spare rim. No tire. I didnt have a spare tire. Hope you have access to a bead blaster. That rim came off a neglected P200 and needs serious cleaning before you paint it.

I have the tube/tire, I just meant I finally have something to put them on to equate a spare tire.

Well you got a lot of cleaning and such to do before you paint. That rim had a lot of years of leaking oil tank onto it before I got it.
Rick

Anyone have a used, but in working condition, P200 crank they are willing to sell?

I may have fucked mine up tonight when a screw fell into my engine. Yay.

After having the scoot dropped three times this year (twice when warming up on the stand, and once when someone at work was trying to do me a favour and getting it out of a secured area) I am seriously thinking about getting a kickstand.

The problem was that I have converted to 10" wheels a while back but never changed the centrestand; it needs a small 2x4 under one side to keep the scoot level. Otherwise it leans over and the centre stand can pop up if it's not on a particularly suitable piece of ground.

Anyone have a single kickstand to sell? I'd like to mount it on the left side and hopefully it's the type where there's a bracket that fits the original mounting points on both sides of the channel.

Thanks!

I'm needing a kick-start lever for a PX125

im not sure if the bolt pattern is the same but ive got one that came off a P.


then again, shipping fron hawaii to canada.... pm me if yer interested. ive got family on the mainland that could make it happen

i can post you a piaggio kickstart rubber mate

dont have a rubber centre mat though

I have an Italian Flag, Super Corsa Seat and a rack. I took them both off because they are really for a P200 and not a rally. I got a great original rally seat from another MVer. So now it's my turn to pass it along.

ive got one off an lml motor. if that will work pm me.

I will take the seat if you a giving it away. I have mate (next cube over at work) that needs a new seat for his stella.

No he is selling it - I already PMed him.

He put it in the wrong forum.

ive got a center mat. its the ugly one with the big squares on it

ive got an almost complete P laying around if you need any bits or pieces. its second in line foor a rebuild but i figure if you guys need the parts sooner than i do, so be it.


things i could use now

oil sight glass
smallie grips
horn off a p
i dont know if they came stock. but my smallie doesnt have a rubber gasket between the tank and frame.

a seat post for smallframe

if anyones got any of those stupid nuts for the front hub of a P i could use one (or 3)!

I have a Blue Badge [mickeymouse] tail light . Would trade for original ,as in Siem switch plate and cover for a 64 allstate . Must be in good condition being that you are getting the better end of the deal. P.S. also comes with original reflectors. P.S.S. Would also trade for something in the mod -ulma type stuff.

Anyone have a compression tester they want to unload?

Items I have from a 1971 primavera project
Choke cable - new
Flywheel - old
kickstand - old
front shock -old
regulator - old
wire junction box - old

free if you pay shipping

i am also looking for a flywheel side engine case for my 1971 125 primavera

You can borrow one from your local auto parts store under their "free tool rental" program.

I'm looking for an OEM selector box for my 1980 P200.

I've tried a couple of others (FA, and some unknown box stamped MSP on arm) and neither works as well as my OEM box, before the arm broke off)

The one I have that works has the hole for a neutral switch.

If anyone has an extra box or even just an arm that will fit, please PM me. I'm trying to get back on the road before Amerivespa on June 17th.

Cheers
Stephen

OK what about just the arm from a P series selctor box? Anyone? Anyone?
