Hello all could give you loads of info but dont want to bore you ...lets keep it entertaining eh?
being an engineer all the computations,design and construction was completed by me,it wasnt as difficult as it might seem. Once the idea was set in place, a jig was constructed to accommodate the wheelplan (base and alignment)and the rest they say is......that was that!
build time about 6weeks (but that was full time) golf and business was put on the back burner

Power unit is a 1972 suzuki gt 380 (371cc) triple cylinder two stroke 6 speed motor tuned,ported and balanced, throwing out a punchy 39 horsepower @ 8,000rpm
triple micuni carbs jetted with conical k&n filters and electronic ignition all complimented by a three into one chrome expansion chamber

bought a non running gilera runner( £100)....this supplied both front and rear wheels and tyres,front forks brakes....and anything else i could salvage (ha ha)
scooter frame came kindly from scooter restorations (£100 plus vat) scrounged, borrowed, collected and purchased all remaining ancillaries from anywhere...

frame is primarily a suzuki gt 380 rear end which was lowered and swing arm shortened and widened to accommodate the chunky 12 inch wheel.....
forks and front end were a combination of gilera /lambretta manifestation

the scoot has a modest top speed of about 80, because it was geared for acceleration (i can assure you its quick off the lights) anyway if you want to go fast
get a fireblade (honda 1000)

the nitrous bottle is just a talking point (its a two stroke oil tank)
paintwork ..all straight colours done by me all tricky stuff by Artrage

to cap this all off ....the project was an amazing success,completed a trouble free 1000 miles last season.. turns heads and ears wherever it goes ...i thought motorbikes were fun ..but the following,comrardary and enthusiasm of scooterists is fantastic

Cheers All
