As you may remember, I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I had installed early 60's allstate (VNB?) headset and steering bearings in my GS150 and how they...
Please please continue to bore us with your geriatric meanderings Glyn. It is always a pleasure to hear from those who drove these machines when they were...
Glynn, It sounds like you're the expert on GS150. When you were riding them I still had to be born... I bought my gs last november from a dealer here in...
Paul the bearings are metric not Whit or AF. I have just been looking thro my manuals but they do not say size or numbers in each race.Of course in their time...

John I am definately not the expert on the GS150. I would say our webmaster Scott is, from the info. I have seen him provide since this group started but I ...

I looked in my GS parts book and it says the top balls are P/N 12426 and they're 28 in number. I measured one (I have some in a bag with the P/N still there)...
Hey SS folks, What is the size (diameter in mm and pitch) of the screws that hold the top of the carburetor body to the lower part of the carburetter body?...
Excellent! Many thanks to Ed and Glyn for the information - now I can rebuild this front end over the weekend. That was exactly what I wanted to know. When I...
hi does anyone know if the cowling(side panel)crash bars(ulma florida) of a gs 150 will fit on a gs 160 if u change the front footrest(the bar at the front...
Hello Glyn, An interesting issue, I meen GS150 behaviour in the sixties. I owned a VS5 in 1965-66 and rode it to school everyday. Now, I have one again - in...
Darren The standard Florida fitted both types of GS. They had their own front footrest and did not fit the basic footrest as far as I can recollect. The rear...

Yes Glyn, keep it up! The meanderings, I mean :-) Hugo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Glen, I agree with you - when one gets older one also gets more cautious. I too remember not to think about security at all in the sixties. We even didn't use...

As far as I know GS150 is the only two-stroke in the world that has a car-like ignition system running from battery only. Piaggio didn't do this on earlier...
Anyone know what kind of key blanks (ie. other manufacturers) can be adapted to use on the GS150 column lock? The last time I went in, the locksmith tried a...
Paul, I just had new keys cut to fit a '66 VNB. I don't know if it's the same type of lock, but here's what I have. The manufacturer is Ilco and the numbers...
My UB23S1 carb has a main jet marked 103. To prevent seizure I want that changed to 105, which is the later standard. Q1) I don't suppose such main jets are...
Hi Jan not so sure the 105 main jet will guarantee against seizure. It was introduced as a direct result of the increase in compression ratio on the later VS5s...

Glen, You are right about the jet/compression issue, but I have a carb from a VS3 that should serve as a spare for my two VS5's. That's the reason why I want...

I bought the floor rails/rubber from piaggio for my super sport. I haven't bent them yet or drilled the holes, but they seem to be a match for what was already...
Actually Pascoli does make a floor kit for GS160 - I have one and it's top notch. It has the correct profile, correct rubber, and even comes with the half...
