Thats the specialist UK ignition switch The engines for both of those are in the process of rebuilding, parts for 6 volt C90's are hard to find, unless you go Chinky and they are crap parts
Is that 4th 12 volter for sale Proff ? I'm still trying to source a really nice electric start one for Mariama.

Are they easier to find in Gambia
I can't pm you Dennis, so I'll let you contact Sid..
The RED 12 volt [without Callum rd sticker] has a 'leccy start engine and leg guards..
but NO leccy start right hand switch set
Might be able to source a set tho' if the owner wants to flog bike to you..
It's short notice BUT I'd do my best to get that one fully up to spec inc MOT if
owner will flog it you.....

Only crap chinky stuff Oony, thats the problem..
I always try to use genuine Honda or Jap made replacement parts as they last,
Chinky ones don't, especially electrical bits and engine parts...

Think that should read we'd do our best, as it is currently on the ramp being worked on.
The red 12V has already had the engine stripped and cleaned up. Wheels have been removed and everything cleaned up and checked. I bought and fitted new battery for it. Just needs carb cleaning and general fine tuning and it should be ready to trailer up to MOT garage.
I'll send you more details via PM.
Sid
coo!
Great job Proff and test pilot Sid- Thanks a lot!
mine will be the best Scoot on the trip!
Them other buggers will never keep up.
Obviously better handling and faster since Team ProffAud have fettled it

Just bear in mind that Jaq
still holds the C90 downhill record of 58mph GPS verified. We will need to see proof before the title passes

Sat upright behind that bloody great screenThen she learnt how to ride off road and no bugger could catch her!!!!
Bugger the job Jaq, you should be on the next trip
PS. The grumpy bugger can come too
It's ok ...

Well ...
... they're off; just got a text from Dennis and they have set sail for the Spanish Main(land)
Portsmouth to Santander, then offload the mighty C90's with only Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia to do, before a safe and timely arrival at Bansang hospital in about 3 weeks.
Good luck and God speed
