Capitano. You need to brush up on your Piaggios I'm afraid. The image you put up was of a Beverly500. Only the 500 had twin discs up front. Mine is the 'Sports Touring' 350 model. On a serious note (it was a 500 by the way) I've been over to Leeds and back on mine today, about 120mls total. I'm impressed with it. Easily keeps up at motorway speeds, with enough in reserve to get you out of trouble. Top box + tunnel bag = super tourer :D

Best bit of Beverly, she has a wet clutch :oops: :oops:
I did about 6000mls on her, fitted a second hand Piaggio top box, drilled through the small rack., to remove the suppressor cap, you may need to lever it off, as the rubber cap gets stuck to the head and it snaps just using brute force. On the early oil filter cap always fit a new o ring. it was changed to 3 bolt fixing.
Find a nice grass field and enjoy the ASR traction control.

There are 2 types - Monokey and Monolock - I have one hanging up in the shed but no idea which it is.

There is a separate riser plate that bolts onto the existing rack first to get the box at the correct angle. Then I think either monolock or monokey can fit on.

Dave thanks for the offer. I'll get in touch with a Piaggio dealer and see if I can just buy the riser plate. I have a feeling they will come as a package. Keep it on ice for me. Err how much by the way? Still havn't used that engine I bought from you :oops: :oops: .
