Popular Post rumrum Posted July 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2020 tried to think of a catchy title ^ for my new 2002 gilera ice 50.... I've always wanted one of these as the cool kids were riding them when I was in England (you can hide spliffs and 8ths in the glove box real well) I've had "gilera ice" on my favorites search on trademe since trademe was invented.... there are now only 100 odd on the road in the uk so becoming very rare, this one came up on marketplace hahaha bloke wanted 400 I gave him 300 and said cheers, has a live plate, non working front brakes and seized front shocks.... i can work with that. I have a 70cc malossi cylinder kit in stock and have on order a malossi flip exhaust, new front brake lever and master cylinder new tires and malossi multivar 2000 variator kit, new 19mm pwk carb. I'm hoping for 100kph. any way ill dump photos here, it came in ok condition but definitely worse for ware first up is starting to strip and hot water blasting grime and oil. ps if you haven't hooked your water blaster up to the laundry hot tap are you even living? 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumrum Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 here's stripping the fork seals, no oil at all and fully seized... also you can't buy oem seals for them anymore and were made specifically for the ice model ..... fark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumrum Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 cheers mayte, yeah alot of piaggio vespa gilera parts interchange, like the centre stand is pretty much for every Italian 50cc... so hoping an early model piaggio zip will come close, might a mm too small but meh can stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple blueprinting can make these little motors so much snappier and responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
