Café from the heart of Europe (intro & build)

Thread-jacking again but just got wondering whats the difference between USD and Euro fork of the RS125?

There are no differences...there are no US or EU versions... USD - upside down (inverted forks)

Scorp: same reason here...to match the clutch side... really bad idea

Hello and welcome...

 

[LuckyEight]

I am leaving for vacations on Wednesday with my gf - almost two weeks in Greece, away from my bikes I will have to rent at least some scooter there The worst thing is, it costs so much, I could buy all remaining parts from my list

 

[N8Bishop]

Greece would be worth it. Have a great time Boris!

Another cowl modelling...I really hate this procedure. I'll have to buy or make some home polystyrene cutter. Anyway I'm decided to pay for custom made ALU cowl. I'll also make some battery box and move it under the swingarm due to the weight balance and cowl size.

New headlamp and POD filters are on the way to daddy. I assume these pods will have inner lip. Does anyone know the source of good PODs (without the lip) in EU? I don't wanna red K&Ns. Also black/grey crankcase filter would be great.

present from Germany...old russian helmet. Looks awesome! Needs some new padding and new paint of course...

new PODs, 7" full metal headlamp, oil temperature gauge...
I also made a hot wire foam cutter...works great but I have no pics

You can use the stock H-pipe with those pods that way you can hook up the breather hose. It will work just fine.

 

[LuckyEight]

yea but I don't like the look of it I'll try foam UNI pods...

 

[Scorpio1963]

I have the same pod filters and tried them directly on my carbs,no good there was blockage from the lip.Another thing is theres no foam to protect dirt from getting in the carbs.I cut of the 1st inch off the rubber hpipe then mounted them on after using some more foam inside.They work ok for now.But upgrading to something better is on my todo list.

I'll try foam UNI pods...

good choice no lip on those

I run the cheap pods with lips. no issues whatsoever. Just don't push them to the very end when tightening to carbs.
