LML Star / PX 187 project

The colour is candy apple red it looks much better in the sun. The hubs are powder coated chrome and the rims are powder coated anodised red.

 

some more pictures of progress

 

Dude, you really need a ramp......

 

Nope no ramp needed

 

That is a nice red ! I wouldn't use the stainless pipe if I were you, they seem to be difficult to jet properly.

 

I might use the sip box exhaust they are ment to be better for low torque and touring. I have a high reving motorcycle if I want to rev high. The red is amazing in the sun its a shame its hard to see in photos.

 

I have done quite a bit more including fitting the wiring loom though the body and the gear cables and brake cables i dont have many pictures of that.

 

some of the loom

 

I like the wheels

 

some pictures with the foot rails fitted.i used nuts and bolts to fit them rather then pop rivets how they come

 

Stainless steel button bolts and nylon washers for the front mug guard. Before they were just normal cap heads like the two in the pictures.

 

i have some pictures if the engine no that many but the cylinder kit i chose was a VMC 177 cylinder kit. The main reason i chose this kit was because the cylinder head sits on top of the cylinder flat if that makes sense unlike kits like the DR kit where the is a groove for the head to sit in.Because VMC head sits flat it will be easier to get the port timings where i want for the longer stroke crankshaft. because when i work out what i can space either the base or both so i can make a head spacer.

 

its a bit of a pain ant the moment because i do not have a work bench because i have just moved house relay so everything i have to do on the floor. but im use to laying under cars so dont both be too much.

 

ok not posted on here for a while but i have done a lot more.and its almost complete
another scoot has appeared in the garage.

 

187 engine fitted.

 

Looks like a clean dragster!?

 

yeah its good condition ish its all there most of the lugs on the body work are broken. wont be long until that one gets restored. i wanted to finish the red scoot first before buying something else but started looking at other stuff and see it so just bought it. it was a 3 hr journey to get it.
