thanks guys! i may well hold you to that sometime.

i'll post some more up to date pictures of the artwork in the next couple of days. I'm off down the scrap yard soon so i will see what else i can find.

I was thinking what about a different rear suspension spring? would it make much difference?

So if i wanted to put a new oversize piston in, can i literally just swap it over or do i need to do anything else?

Sorry for all the questions as you can tell i am very wet behind the ears when it comes to doing any mechanical work. :oops:

you will most likely have to have the jug bored out or find a bbk for your scoot.

Interesting. Sounds like a major operation, in consideration the SB50 is fixed pulley, no variator.

Tazland 44mm kit will help, but you can't expect it to compare to an Elite SA or SR.
