Re: Anyone know what it is?

Cheers Arthur...I will try to get one as I've accidentally chipped the paint on my tank and it would cover it up just lovely..

All the best Frank

Anyone know what it is?

Hello guys..

I've seen weird fabric or plastic contraptions between the very small seats and petrol tank on some small Italian bikes of the 50s.

I wondered if anybody on here knew what they are or their function.?

Thanks, Frank.

Re: Vhb25b carb

Cheers Tom,
As you can see mine did the crumbling thing.

I was thinking last night after Duncan's suggestion that the plastic part might be the way to go especially as it won't be seen.

All the best Frank.

Vhb25b carb

Looking for the screw on piece for my carb that attaches to the air filter pipe.

The end that fits into the air filter pipe is 40mm.

Please take a look underneath your bench as I cannot find one on line.

Thanks, Frank.

Fitting rear brake light to old 175

Good evening.
I need to fit a rear brake light switch to a 6 volt vintage bike that has never had one fitted.

Could anyone recommend one that I could use please?.

I would also be interested to hear if you feel a led fitment would be a good thing to do.?

Many thanks, Frank.
