duh Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOLAR 1.9 EVO CONVERSION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Quite a number. I was going to get my VHPD done but may possibly sell it in favour of another engine. If you decide to use them and need a hand getting your engine to them we might be able to GONAD it from Scootland ..... I live just down the road from Scholar so would be happy to help where I can Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbell Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Helped jj with his.............its an animal In saying that it is only an animal when you release it...........its also quite happy to pottle around town..........and it appears to be reliable, jj did the spring se7ens tour in in last year, a track day and then 4500 miles across America, its now done another spring tour and will be on the trackl on Monday so it must be getting close to 8000 miles since the conversion with no problems. It`s bloody quick when you let it off the lead though..............
