They found Hunter Biden...

Im with Pedro on this one Nute , make it into a ratt bike, no use of making things pretty at this point, slap a fancy copper cover for the sensor...

Feeufff ! I though that idiot Buckster was talking about me ...I think I know who he was referring to...

Yes you need a specific cable , go down to your computer shop and ask then for a loopdeloop cable...

Well I was thinking about the millage, its at 40 thousand now , my plan was to keep it for another five years , but the way Im racking millage on it by then it be worth nothing basically, figured i should trade it wyll it's still worth something... The dash cluster has been identical since 2020 , im figuring that's what will change in 27....this is what I was tempted on...26.

Why replace it so soon? Are you worried to have it with no warranty, it’s still low mileage. What’s a dash pod?

I'm begining to get the hang on the MacBook now but need some more help please. I plan my rides on Garmin Basecamp and then transfer them to my Garmin Montana 700i. . So I downloaded Basecamp into the Mac but cannot get it to recognise the Montana . The data cable for the Montana is USB 2.0 so I bought an adapter , USB to USB c but that didn't work. Now I have a USB micro to USB c cable and it powers the Montana but won't transfer data. I see that the USB c ports on the Mac are described as 'thunderbolt' ports , what does this mean and do I need some sort of special cable ?

The ‘27 Vespa has a dash pod?

Shorts and flip flops weather this morning...brrrrrrr! I was seriously considering trading the indian but I decided to hold off for another year, I just know Im gonna regret it if I do and the 27 will have a major changes , like the dash pod .

Yeah, sorry should have said that isn't the std manifold, the plastic one is in the bin. Originally there were two plastic boxes, the collector box that goes on top of the throttle bodied then another one which has the MAS in it. To use the MAS exposed I need to make a bracket for it as it's just hanging in the breeze at the moment. I'll weld a tab to the frame and bolt the bracket back to that. The original collector box had a series of washers in each of the 4 internal tubes to restrict the airflow - its been someone's A2 bike at some stage.

There should be a cone filter on the end of the elbow.

The standard box is plastic, that is custom.

Could you make something to cover it. You could replace it with MAP sensor but you'd need some clever bugga to create a new map for the ecu.

I cannot argue with that ... but I like it Its this thing ... I could totally get rid of it if I bought a set of 16v throttle bodies plus the 16v fuel injection unit ... but I have to do everything the hard way. Looks better from the other side.

Exactly, paint the engine bright red.

It's not a mechanically beautiful bike anyway, to put it gently, so might as well show that off. If you can hide it, hide it. If you can't hide it, exaggerate it

I wrote my xmas cards yesterday and posted them today , I feel EPIC now .............

Deleting it is a pain because you then need to have the fuel management reprogrammed and even then they tend to run like crap, you can service the unit though if it gives problems.

The shed would need rotating, so I would need another 3 burley guys to help with that......... The floor of the shed would need taking out 1st, then the matter of putting the door onto what was the side of the shed, easier said than done, so not worth the aggravation.

Thanks @Buckster, Seen the delete kits for the 16v versions but mine is an 8 so apparently they don't work due to the different fuel injection controls, so I have to keep the sodding thing. Ill try it rotated and see what happens

cutting a new hole and moving the door in your shed sounds like a project.

As I have said before, I ordered a 8x10ft shed, but I received (unknown to me at the time) 10x8ft shed.... which is not long enough, to get the scoot in straight....bugger. I did for the most part enjoy working on the Tiger (apart from those damn carbs. ) but in all honesty it was a bit too much for my facilities and tools, i would never consider such a project nowdays....as said, just something to tinker with. A guy near to me was selling a WK125cc (sort of sports looking thing) running (rough) for £150, but spares are unobtainable for this bike, so not worth the effort....... So I will make do with running a oily rag over the scoot every now and then.........
