    I know its been done. But are there any Speedys out there which have been done well.

    I.E, Not having a stupidly angled rear end?

    A conversion that looks like it should have come straight from the factory.


    Just interested really. Always fancied building one when I was into scooters but the Stage6 conversion kit wasn't available back then, And I wasn't as mechanical as I am now, So couldnt fab it myself.

    i take it back it seems theyve been deleted or im just blind but all it is is a matter of moving shock mount back and engine angle will be better and shock wont look like its gna snap when it comes 2 a speed bump

    Funny how people never forget that gilly feeling :grin:
    Minge, Ive Seen two i can think of on this forum that looked quite stock. Need to ask owners how they ride/handle though . Im sure you can sort it anyways if you can fabricate yourself.

    it handles ok with the standard front end tbh. i just got the wheel balanced up . it used 2 shake before i got it dun. just baught the 172 kit. :) and malossi crank off a mate. :) and av got 25mm carb. should be good 2 see how it performs. lighter than a runner on the front end. should be an intresting ride lol :grin: .

    I had to balance my front wheel on my old Speedfight 70 because of its top speed. Which was aprox 70mph.
