Well done monty!
But....................
That seat has to go!!!!!!
Monty speak to Thomas (cheeky) before you go whacking the 8 roller variator in.
Apparently when changing the the variator you also have to change the outer half of the front pulley AND both halfs of rear pulley along with the belt too.
CheekyThomas will confirm that this is the official Piaggio stance but he may be able to find out from his ASM exaclty why it may be a problem to run mixed parts or that it won't be a problem at all.

Cool, it's just that there are different part numbers for the later scoots bits as well.
You checked your belt since?

Right ive been very busy but i need something to keep me occupied in the little time i get spare
I finally got rid of the black number plate bracket and am now left with a massive ugly metal piece that is rusting away.
The idea. make it looks like new by spraying and make it look quite nice. got the bits and accesories on order but that would be telling eh
Teaser
Most of the bits are still on there way including some bits from america. unfortunately i doubt anything will be done till the weekend because of the shit weather

Right finally got off my arse and did something
The rear number plate bracket was very rusty
rusty = gay so i went about my work to tidy it up
Rubbed down.
Almost prepared
Primered nearly finished now
I have still got to put my number plate light on. hard wired the indicators and fit my nice bullets that i have on order
what you reckon so far
Nice paint job , LED indicators and new number plate

Nice work Monty! Like the purple mini that's well smart!
I would have made it more difficult for myself and tried to remove the bracket to paint. I would be to scarred that I sprayed the bike
