re:"the Pollini 210 fits VSCs, but have seen no reference elsewhere" I don't see how a barrel for a rotary valve engine could work on the piston ported scoots....
if you're rounding off your cruciform legs, you might wanna look elsewhere for the problem , i.e. improperly shimmed transmission, sloppy clutch work, etc....
Hya only total idiots ever fixed their cog badges to their legshields!! They were fixed to perspex/plastic sheets about 6 inch deep/12inch wide (bigger...

... I think it's a reference to the old Pinasco 213 twin carb barrels. You have to modify the cases to accept the larger barrel, though so little (I think...
It looked as if the round legs of the cruciform were the point of least resistance (the 2 square ones are sturdier) and I was breaking them when I was a young...

Hi All, Stripped my bike and discovered that it's running a 63mm piston, and it needs a re-bore. So I think I'll bore it to take a suitably modified 66.5mm...

Anyone have a spare VS5 carb, or at least the float assembly? Thanks, -John Irvine...
It's probably been bored out to accept a Rally 180 piston, which is 63.5mm. That would put just above 190cc, I think. I know that several people on this...
... Yeah,. you can run a P2 head. The P2 stud pattern is just larger, but the head could still be fitted. If I remember right, we had to run a head gasket to...
Thanks very much Scott! I have the guilt factor you mention- I'll get a P2 head and poss gasket in case I ever sleeve the SS180 cylinder back to standard....
