Some more goodies came the other day which was nuts,bolts, spring for pedal, bushes, bearings, cages for the l link and one side for the dog bone as i realised when fitting the parts for the dog bones that i hadnt order enough so ive had to order a whole new side now so that a load more money spent on the dam things.

My new fuel filter also came.

Also fitted the new chain guard to the swinging arm and also new slide in bushes that attach to the l link as mine broke away when i undid them.

Once i started to rebuild the bike back i realised that the engine mounts and the back subframe bits were not the same, as the new frame i have has 2 screw holes on it and my old one had one big hole.

So i emailed beta again and they said they had sent me the wrong frame as i have the new version so as another good will jesture they sent me new engine mounts, subframe, nuts and bolts which they didnt have to so another big thanks again there. The only problem for me is i have to get the new subframe powdercoated which is not the end of the world. Also received my shock socks to prevent crap getting in and the main reason i wanted them was for looks.

Time for the new head stock bearings to get fitted so my mate sorted this out for me as he had a press to take the old one off. New one back on with new grease.

Head stock bearings all in now and all tightend up along with the socks fitted.

They took mine on a exchange deal so havnt got a clue what happens to it.

They cut the headstock off it to prevent it from being used again. I've seen the pile of them at the former US importer.

...and that is going to be one tasty Beta you got there. Well done.

Update, The chain has been degreased and cleaned up and some fresh wax oil on it.

Took the carb off and gave it a good clean out with the carb spray. Also the last person who owned it had sprayed the bottom bit of the carb so I cleaned all the paint off and gave it a polish.

Gave the air filter a clean and then fresh oil on it along with stainless bolts in the air box

Dirty airfilter

Nice and clean now

I put some strong thick film on the areas where the handle bars touch when its turned on full lock as I'm worrying if I fall off and the steering swings to one side and chips the powdercoating.

Also received the rest of my dog bone /l link bushes.

I got my goodies today and I'm well chuffed with them. Its the real carbon fibre and not the abs plastic stuff, the items I have are Swinging arm, frame, shocks, exhaust, engine cover, petrol tank plastics . They are not 100% on yet but you get the picture. I will take some more pictures when they are on properly and the bikes outside.

Soon as I get a bit more cash I will be getting a few more items made of the stuff.

Nice collection of VX220's :thumbup::bouncy:

Cheers mate, I have the real thing sitting outside that's why I've got a model of it, just a shame the model don't look nothing like it now lol

It will be intresting to know your overall costs on this project including the bike(and the wife's new carpet)..looking good so far.

I don't want to look lol. The way I think about it is that there are loads of betas out there I'm just trying to make mine look diffrent then everyone else's.
