what I need..
- engine. p200. prefer elec start. (I'll deal with the engine bits in another blog - perhaps www.dirtyrocketengine.blogspot.com )
- headset (prefer complete with handlebars) vna/vnb split headset version preferred as it is the one that was originally on the bike. using a split headset was used on this model only before going back to the one piece, eventually returning to the idea in the late 70's with the P series. I am guessing the advent of indicators and elec start meant more wiring, and therefore the return of the split headset made wiring easier. As I am planning on using p-series wiring, I think sticking closely to the unusual (and original) headset will suit the 'p' conversion quite well. (all guesswork of course).
- forks. ..... from my research on the various chat rooms, etc I think the PK 125 fork will be the best bet. Others say rally ones are better, but as far as I can tell they handle like dogs and don't allow performance shocks like sebacs, or bitubo. Also I will add a disc brake conversion to this when there are funds available. ( I believe around 400 aud ).
- New floor from scootrs in vietnam. Already ordered.. just hope I got the right one.
- cables........ must find out if i need p200 ones, or original ones
- wheels and tyres (maybe even the new tubeless ones from australian scooterparts)
- long seat .. I have a single seat from scootrs, but I am not comfortable on those because of my size (5'11" 105 kg)
- floor rails
- head bearings... I think i need both sets (pk and vna) but it is something I'll have to check
- fuel line
- speedo ( assuming the headset I get doesn't come with one)
- wiring loom .. I am assuming that I need a p200 one
- possibly a px tank with oil tank (If I go with a autolube carb suck as a vortex)
- rear light
- side cowl fixings. The engine cover one clips on, and the left one bolts on permanently.
- paint.. interesting decision, but I like the idea of a matt colour in an extremely dark green. Either that or white. Matt-finish helps with covering up bumpy panel work. We will have to see what can be achieved with the panels.
- seat hingesm and catches
- cowl rubber
- rear brake pedal, cable.
- ...etc etc
