italian classic restoration/capriolo help
« on: January 29, 2010, 10:42:26 PM »
hi, can anybody help me with this?

im a big fan of vintagebike, and its always come up trumps, but my wife's cousin in south africa, has an old capriolo that he would like to restore;

now i suspect he will regret this, but he desperately is trying to find someone in europe/anywhere who (a) knows anything about these bikes and (b) might be willing to restore it;

i have emailed loads of clubs etc on his behalf, but not even a reply, so if anybody has ANY pointers at all, please get in touch, i would be very grateful;

dave

ps i will stick to 70's kawas

Sorry,
I dont know anything about the Capriolo but I have got a road test article in a 1961 magazine for a 124cc machine.

Maybe worth emailing the address found on the web page below for the Registro Storico Capriolo - he'll need someone who speaks/writes Italian to help him out though, but they'll know where to get parts etc.
