Hi all, I'm thinking of running a rear rack on my VS5. I have an original 60s item that came off the bike when it was being restored, but it too requires...
Here's my advice rear rack - Yes, front rack - No. Personally I think that front racks ruin the shape of the scooter.I wouldn't re-drill the holes either. Find...
I once saw a barn find VS5 that had a smallframe spare tire holder/fold down rear rack mounted to it that looked original until you opened the seat and saw...

Guess - probably works fine when engaged, but plays when not engaged - might not really matter to function. But if the clutch is hitting the bearing, it's prob...
I need (as you are looking at the bike from the front) a piece of Rally 180/SS 180 legshield trim for the left side. To match the other side, it needs to be...
I love my front rack, it's functional and the support rod of it can be used as the base for my mirror bars. I don't use my rear rack usually so I only put it...
Thanks, Brad - I may contact Scootopia and check their shipping costs to Australia - the Scooterwest price would probably too high including shipping Very,...
the clutch is held to the crank on the taper, the conical washer does not keep the crank tight, the only obvious reason to me is to stop the crank webb rubbing...
I'm going to get a 16.3mm inner diameter, 31.5 outer, 1.25 thick disc spring and drill to fit. Suggest you do the same - they're readily available; the...
i've noticed that my front brake seems a lot stiffer/harder to pull back that the front brakes on a number of other bikes. i've adjusted the cable to loosen...

well, i know that the cable itself is properly lubed. used grease when i was replacing all of cables. i wasn't aware of a way to oil the cable without pulling...

Assuming the problem occurs right after the restoration, there is my guess, in addition to Glyn's advice. Loose the lock nut on the arm of the front brake....
Yes, Scootopia made Ulma reproduction racks for GS/SS. (not identical to the one for GS150s anyway) All the chrome stuffs on this photo are Scootopia Ulma...
