I run a gopro with a chesty.... Makes some pretty good video. Here's a tip, if you want to mount to the handle bars and have watchable video, get a low definition point and shoot that does video... Like a Kodak 182 or similar. They don't have as much "shutter roll" (that jello look) and put up with the vibration quite well. The Kodak 182 is an older cam, but it's tough as nails and works most excellent.
Here is a ride video that I did for my buddy and me.
Back facing shots where done with the Kodak on a pedco ultra mount, the front facing shots were done on a go-pro with a chest mount.

Mic the old and measure lenth and post . John I don't have a micrometer... or a veneer... both of which are on my wish list. However, I can post a video and will...  I'm just glad I managed to find the correct stud at the other scooter shop in town. We have two. |

if it is bigger than what you can get then try using a tread incert or if it is smaller then drill and tap the hole for the bigger stud I think I would have one made at the a machine shop before I'd start drilling and putting an insert in. All I'd have to do is have them turn down a new one, then thread it. I don't need to go thru all of that tho, as I did manage to find one at the other local scooter shop. I hope to get this bugger back together tomorrow night... ridable at least. It still need a new varator and a belt... But that's easy stuff for next week. All and all I'm excited about getting her back together.... |

I've got one in the shop that did the same thing.... altho the hole in it's piston was a little smaller... LOL
Only problem I'm having is tracking down a head stud that I snapped. Seems they are a smaller diameter then the regular ones.

Well, my first post on the new board.... so here it goes.
I'm rebuilding the top end of a MotoBrovo Super Hornet 150cc, and it seems that I'm working on an oddball...
So, I was almost done with it, hat it back together and I was tightening the heads to 26ft lbs and heard a nice loud, POP. I broke a head stud, in the case.
So I got out the drill, and the easy outs, and did the happy dance when I got the end of the stud out of the case.
Now comes the interesting part, I too the old stud into the local scooter shop and got a replacement and it seems to be the wrong diameter.
Did Moto Brovo use an odd ball diameter for thier head studs? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks guys
