"Good that you didn't use the shock in the first pic of the project page."
Binge, yeah that's a 12 bar. Think it started out as a 100cc speedy and it's now a 172cc piaggio engine which I think you may of heard of ____________________ Rides: Honda XR 125 ('03) Honda CBR 600F ('91), Ducati 916 Biposto ('95) |

Is the shock meant to attach like that at the top, or has it been bodged on? Because it looks like the pivot at the top of the shock is twisted 90 degress in the wrong direction... So when the suspension moves and it tries to move... Well yeah, i'd imagine it'd do bad things.
My apologies if i'm just talking out my arse, don't have any experience with scooters.
And wouldn't jacking up the back make it a bit twitchy, by reducing the rake angle...
Apart from my witterings, it looks smart. And that's saying alot. ____________________

The single sided front end is the biggest most dangerous piece of shit i've ever had to endure on any bike. It does not work! Simple as that! I had a Speedfight with the dizzy heights of 11bhp, and it was just dangerous IMO! |
I've been there also mate. Probably somewhere in the regeion of 10 - 15bhp too. I was running MHR everything really. Alot of power was squeezed out of the little 70cc LC motor in my old speedfight.
It was the Speedfight 1 too, So it had the earlier front swing arm. Wasn't bearing mounted I don't think, It was rubber bushed. I upgraded to a Speedfight 2 front end. IMO it was better, but still dangerous.
The idea of forks, is when you apply the front brake, they dive, Putting weight on the front wheel, Pushing it further into the ground. Resulting in more grip.
The speedfight front end, I dont know if you noticed, but when you applied the front brake, The front of the bike actually lifted, rather than dived! ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

the reason i didnt go sr 125 typh or a runner or summit as there boring
not dissing them i would gladly buy one for the comute to work
but i wanted somthing no one else would have ive always been a fan of the speedfight 1 and 2
ive loved the piaggio engines due to the tuneabuility and all round looks
so when my speedfight 1 was pretty much f**ked i cracked on buying the parts i needed
as i had my rs to get me to work and back
and the good thing about my bike is im still coming up with things to do to it |
