Handlebar Switches – Integrated

January 19, 2022

Here are switches that are, or can be, integrated or built into the hand controls.

Integrated controls means the electrical buttons and switches are part of the twist throttle and hand levers, rather than separate. The purpose of integrated controls is to locate the switches close to the operator’s thumbs, for increased safety and convenience, and to reduce cost and save space on the handlebar. Motorcycles had this first, because they have more buttons, generally. While the European switches below can be replaced separately from the controls, with most Taiwan and Japanese mopeds you had to buy the whole control assembly to get new switches and buttons. More on that will be in the Taiwan Mopeds parts department.

1. 36 mm hole spacing by CEV, Aprilia, Grabor

Switches in this section can fit on Domino diamond controls.

They can also be mounted directly to the handlebar by drilling holes and using a diamond direct mount.

The wires must to be soldered on skillfully. Use CEV 8176 above as a substitute.

By the end of the 1970’s, the shape of pretty much everything from toasters to automobiles, that used to be rounded, was straight. Many things that were metal became plastic. On Garelli mopeds, the all curved Garelli “Oval Chrome” switch shape was modernized to CEV “Diamond Plastic”, with the same 36mm bolt spacing. The new design was much stronger and more resistant to breaking, because the sliding switch had a large platform that almost touches the base. The newer “knobs” are low and wide, not tall and thin.

3. late ’80’s plastic in English, by CEV, Daelim
1980’s with black horn button

There were not many US-model mopeds in the late 1980’s, other than Derbi, Garelli, Jawa, Tomos, Trac (Daelim), pretty much. Except for Jawa, they all used late 1980’s black Domino controls with fully integrated switches.

3.1 Daelim Engine Stop switch – right side
says “ENG. STOP   OFF RUN”
part# price parts list
23232    $35 new, switch only

At right, it’s European all-icon cousin. Over there they signal by momentarily flashing their high beam, rather than by horn. So their buttons have different functions. By 1984-85 Europe already had all-icon switches, a few years before the USA allowed them.

3.7 CEV 8232 Turn/Hi-Lo/Horn switch – left side
says “HI LO P HORN L TURN R CEV 300“
part# price parts list

4. ’91-06 plastic with icons, by HR
1990’s with blue horn button

Top: HR controls, Bottom: “80’s – 90’s Domino”

Icons appeared first on US mopeds in 1985 on Trac/Daelim, then in 1987 on Derbi Variant Sport and DS50. In the 1980’s the world somehow realized it made more economic sense for motorcycle switches to use symbols, with one version for all, rather than using words and having to make many language versions. By the 1990’s the US had switched to icons, at the time when Tomos and Jawa were the only European mopeds remaining. There were several “remakes”: Kinetic (India) is like Vespa/Piaggio, Manet (Slovakia) is like Puch, Hero (India) is like Puch, and others. Some of those copied “80’s – 90’s Domino” controls. These HR (Hidria Rotomatika) switches below do not interchange with Domino. The HR switches are slightly smaller than Domino, and their top peg is smaller. HR switches must go on HR controls, aka “1992-2007 Tomos” controls.

4.1 HR Lights/engine stop switch – right side
227002 $40 Switch only, all icons

Original on 1992-2007 Tomos (A35 and A55) Sprint, Targa, ST, LX

??? N/A Switch only, all icons

Not for US models. For countries that allow engine stop to be on the left.
Was sold new without wires, which had to be soldered on skillfully.

4.3 HR Hi-Lo, horn switch – left side
227595 $40 Switch only, all icons

Original on 1993-07 Tomos Sprint, 1993-94 Sprint TT (no turn signals)
Was sold new without wires, which had to be soldered on skillfully.

Many switch problems are from “cold” solder joints. The cure is re-solder.

4.4 HR Hi-Lo/Turn/Horn switch – left side
227001 $30 Switch only, all icons

Original on 1992-07 Tomos A35 Bullet, Targa, ST, LX (all with turn signals)

Many switch problems are from “cold” solder joints. The cure is re-solder.

5. ’01-07 plastic with icons, by Domino

$16 Cap only

Merit 60’s Rounded chrome
Engine Stop – right side
$16 Cap only says ON OFF OFF

4. 70’s – 80’s Clamp-On Switches
that say what they do, in English

Mopeds (motorized bicycles) had less strict equipment laws than motorcycles did, and still do. They don’t need to have turn signals, or a permanently-on head light. The US DOT equipment laws dictate what the switches do, what they say and where they go. Engine stop always goes on right, reachable by right thumb. Lights and horn are reachable by left thumb. After 1972 US DOT compliant switches had English words. After the mid-80’s US DOT allowed international icons.

Repair broken knob by sticking a red hot small nail straight in.
It freezes in strong. Cover the nail with tape and shrink wrap.

4.4 Merit 343 Rectangular Chrome – Left side
Lights, horn momentary closed, normally open horn button
343 $43 replacement for Puch 349.2.53.817.0 (pre-1977)
343.cap $19 Chrome cap with horn button – see #2 below
343.clamp $4 4-piece clamp with M4x12 screw
When the knob breaks, just leave the lights always on.
On a pre-1977 Puch, with violet and yellow horn wires,
if you remove this switch and unplug the horn the engine will still run.

4.5 Merit 343Z Rounded Chrome – Left side
Lights, horn momentary open, normally closed horn button
343Z none replacement for Puch 349.3.53.817.0 (USA late-77 to 86)
343.cap $19 Chrome cap with horn button – see #2 below
343.clamp $4 4-piece clamp with M4x12 screw
If the knob breaks, just leave the lights always on.
On a late-77 to 86 Puch, with brown and blue/black horn wires,
if you remove this switch, and unplug the horn, the engine will not run.
The blue wire with the black stripe is an “external ignition ground” wire.
To bypass this, and make it run, ground the blue/black wire at the engine.

1 HI-LO-OFF HORN $19 cap used, like new, tested
2 LO-OFF-LO HORN $19 cap used, like new, tested
3 ENGINE RUN-OFF $14 cap used, like new
Inside the cap, the horn button spring gets weak, or the rivet gets rusty.
On most bikes, that just makes the horn weaker, but on a ’77-later Puch,
that causes the horn to stay on all of the time (so does a loose clamp).

4.6 Aprilia Run/Lights/Horn – L side
part# price parts list
Ap-2.8 none switch only, 38 mm hole spacing

MPclamp $4 L or R clamp used for 342B & 343B, also fits CEV “square plastic”

mount 343B repaired

These clamp-on switches are almost the integrated type, because the switch hangs over part of the control. Magura made the switch base and Merit made the switch, both in 1970’s Germany. The switch bases broke easily, and so the supply ran out early on. They were on US-model mopeds: deluxe Puch models 1978-86, and deluxe Kreidler MP-19.

Handlebar Grips

January 1, 2022

updated 2022-01

Inner diameter: All small motorcycle left (L) grips have an inside diameter of 22 mm (7/8″), to fit the bare handlebar. Right (R) grips have an ID of 25 mm (1″) to fit the throttle twist tube.

Length: Vintage moped grips are short, 100 mm (4″). Modern grips are longer, 115 to 130 mm (4½ to 5¼”) or more. Short grips for vintage mopeds are not offered by most motorcycle shops or suppliers.

Why length matters: The left side doesn’t matter, in most cases, because most lever housings (perches) can be repositioned along the handlebar to match the grip. The right side matters because the throttle twist tube is a fixed length. When the right grip is too long for the throttle twist tube, it hangs over the end and flexes. The flexible grip end causes less control when just the end is held onto. To eliminate that, the throttle housing can be repositioned along the handlebar to make the bare handlebar stick out past the end of the throttle twist tube, inside the grip. But then the grip rubbing on the bare handlebar can cause the throttle to stick and not spring back.

Grips listed below with logos are original on US-model and many worldwide-model mopeds. Most are for sale but some are only for identification. Grips without logos are aftermarket. Some aftermarket grips are replicas that look the same as originals.

OEM grips: Original equipment grips, some new and some used, are offered for “correct” restorations, when modern replacement grips are not desired. Many original grips are not for sale, but are shown for reference. OEM grips are usually made by the controls maker. Below are the major moped controls makers.

Domino controls are made in Italy. They are on most Italian mopeds, such as Arciero, Aspes, Baretta/Piccoli, Beta, Bianchi, Cimatti, Concord/Fantic, Demm, Gadabout, Garelli, Malaguti, Motobecane Sebring, Motomarina, Motron, Negrini, Pacer/Italtelai, Snark, late 80’s Tomos, and Vespa/Piaggio. 1970’s Domino controls are silver with chrome (stamped stainless steel) levers. Early 80’s were black, most with integrated diamond shape switches and chrome levers. 1970’s and early 80’s had black ribbed grips 100mm long. Late 70’s and early 80’s had waffle style grips. Early 80’s had basketball texture grips. Mid to late 80’s had all black controls with built-in switches and octagon style grips (also called square because they are shaped like a square with shaved off corners). See Domino controls .

Magura controls are made in Germany. They were on most non-Italian European mopeds, such as Batavus, Columbia, Hercules/Sachs, JC Penney, Kreidler, Kromag, Kynast, Murray, Peugeot, Puch, Solo/Odyssey, Sparta/Foxi, 70’s to early 80’s Tomos, and Trac. Magura moped grips evolved like Domino. 70’s Magura controls were silver with silver levers (stamped aluminum) with black ribbed grips. Late 70’s to early 80’s controls were black with silver levers, and waffle style grips, early 80’s was block style, or basketball texture. See Magura controls .

Motobecane controls are made in France. They are on 1970’s to early 80’s Motobecane mopeds. The 70’s had silver with chrome levers, 80’s were black with chrome levers. They had built-in (integrated) switches. 70’s grips were grey ribbed 100mm long, 80’s were black ribbed 100mm. See Motobecane controls .

PV controls are made in Italy. They are on some 1970’s Italian mopeds, such as Benelli, Califfo, Cosmo (some), Intramotor Gloria, Moto Guzzi, Testi/Gitane and Velomec. They are silver with black plastic levers. The grips are black ribbed, very close to Domino, but they have a PV logo. The right PV grip is 105mm, but the left one is longer 112mm. See Other controls .

Taiwan controls are made in Taiwan. They are on Taiwan mopeds such as General, Lazer, Indian, Angel and others. They are cast aluminum housings and levers, with built-in switches and buttons, made the same as early 70’s “baby” Hondas, such as PC50. The 1970’s ones had black ribbed short grips 105 mm long. The ribs are small and have gaps. See Taiwan controls .

H.R. controls are made in Slovenia by Hidria Rotomatika (HR). They are on 1992 to early 2008 Tomos, and Volocci electric bicycles. HR controls contain HR-made integral switches, sold separately in Switches. HR controls are similar to ’80’s Domino black, but most of the parts do not interchange with Domino. See Other controls .

Di Blasi R2, R7 Info Identification, parts and service info

R2, R7 Parts List Parts specifications, applications, prices

Di Blasi Industriale is an Italian manufacturer of folding bicycles, tricycles, and mopeds, based in Francofonte, Sicily.

From Wikipedia The founder of the company, Rosario Di Blasi, began development of a folding scooter in 1952, which by 1968 had evolved into a Zanetti-powered folding tricycle called the DIBLA 7 that was shown at the Turin Auto Show as a prototype. Finally in 1974 Di Blasi began production of a folding moped with a Franco Morini motor and single-speed transmission called the R2 (also known as the “Paperino”). In 1979 the model R7 replaced the R2 and featured an engine of Di Blasi’s own design as well as a multi-speed transmission. This moped has been continuously improved and is still in production as the R7E. It has been used by the Polizia Stradale, the Traffic Police division of the Italian National Police, aboard their helicopters. The R7 is sold by Di Blasi of America as the “Express.”

Di Blasi of America is in Florida USA. Here is the website: https://www.diblasi.com/

Di Blasi folding moped is a mini-cycle that can fit in a bus, airplane, train, boat or car. It folds into an incredibly compact size in seconds. When you load or unload it you get to say “hand me that motorcycle” with a devious smile!

In Italian it is called a ciclomotore pieghevole, in German it is a faltmokick or klappmoped and in French it is called a cyclomoteur pliable.

Di Blasi parts are sold online at diblasi-shop.com and diblasi.it

frame# 004000 to 013999
2.50-8 tires, 6 volt lights
Di Blasi M1 engine, points ignition
chrome fenders, H type handlebar

1980 Di Blasi R7ST, 1979 R7ST-US

R7ST had a new engine called M1, designed and made by DiBlasi. It was made to be compact and light weight. Bore and stroke were 39 x 41.8 mm, comp ratio 8.7, horsepower 1.25. It had an expanding pulley with a V-belt (a variator) like a French moped, kick start, and a 415 chain final drive with 9 x 42T sprockets. The cylinder and piston are the same as a ’70’s Motobecane AV7. It had a Dellorto SHA 14/12 carburetor with size 54 jet. The wheels and tires were new, 2.50-8, but had the same 13 inch outer diameter as the previous 4.00-5 tires. The Huret speedometer was way up on the right handlebar, so the speedo cable was long and straight. That solved the problem of broken speedo cables on the R2, which had a short S shaped cable.

R7ST was the Euro version. Engine stop, horn and light switch were all on the left handlebar. The magneto-generator produced 6 volt AC 18 watts, for a 3 watt tail light and a 15 watt headlight or parking light. The ignition part of the magneto-generator was completly separate from the lights. The Huret speedometer said kilometers.

R7ST-US was the United States (US), Great Britian (GB) and Switzerland (CH) version. Engine stop switch was on the right. Horn/light switch was on the left. The switches had English words on them saying what they do. The magneto-generator produced 6 volt AC 25 watts, for a 5 watt tail light and a 20 watt headlight. The ignition part of the magneto independently produced 10 watts of power for a brake light, by using an external ignition source ground wire (blue). The blue must always go to ground (frame or engine case) in order to have spark. The Huret speedometer said miles.

1985 R7WT-US, 80’s R7WT and R7WT-US

R7WT was mostly the same as R7ST except the wheels and tires changed back to 4.00-5.

R7WT for most of Europe and the world. It had a 6 volt 18 watt magneto. The lights were smaller and less watts. No brake light. One left-side handlebar lights/horn/engine-stop switch. It had a CEV 6931 (CEV #04394) magneto with internal ignition ground, external spark coil. Source coils are 04233 lights and 04277 ignition in the parts list, but at least some have an 04235 ignition spark coil and no external spark coil. All the other parts (points, condenser, flywheel, etc) are the same as the USA version.

R7WT-US was for United States (US), Great Britain (GB) and Switzerland (CH). It had a 6 volt 25 watt magneto. The lights were bigger. There was extra equipment for a brake light. Two handlebar switches, right-side engine stop, and left-side lights/horn. These were the CEV “diamond” type. The points-type magneto was CEV 6932 (CEV04212), with external ignition ground, external spark coil. The blue wire must be grounded to have spark. This was to meet the legal requirement that the headlight must not get dim when the brake light goes on.

Di Blasi magneto part numbers are CEV-Pagani numbers with the prefix PG (for Pagani-CEV).

R7TB 1989 to 7/95

frame# 020000 to 024999
4.00-5 tires, 6 volt lights, low headlight

1990 Di Blasi R7TB, ’92-95 R7TB-US

’89-95 R7TB had a low headlight. The handlebar at first was the T-type, and then changed to the clamp-on type. The M1 engine had the following improvements. The ignition became electronic and maintenance-free. The lights generator made more more watts. A solid-state electronic voltage regulator #2004 made the lights not get too bright when going fast, yet not get too dim when stopped at a light idling. There was one lighting equipment version, 6 volt 40 watt.

R7TB 7/95 to 1997

frame# 025000 to 029999
4.00-5 tires, 12 volt lights, low headlight
Di Blasi M1 engine, CDI ignition

2. Parts Info

Wheels and Axles ruote e assi

R2, R7WT wheels

R2 and R7 axle parts

R2, R7ST, R7WT wheels: ’70’s-80’s wheels had loose bearings and threaded 11 mm axles. The axles did not slide out. Threaded cones were the inner bearing race, press-in cups were the outer bearing race, and ten 1/4″ balls were in between the races.

R7TB, R7E wheels: ‘90’s-on wheels had press-in sealed bearings and smooth 10 mm axles. The axles slide out once one of the inner nuts is removed. The bearings are one-piece deep groove type aka “sealed”. There is no central tube between the bearings to support the tightening load of the axle nuts. Instead there are thin nuts required on both sides of the axle. If either inner nut is missing, the wheel freezes up and the bearings get crushed when the axle nuts are tightened.

Controls commandi

Since the mid-1970’s US motorcycles and mopeds were required to have the engine stop button reachable with the right thumb, without removing the hand from the handlebar. Since that time European motorcycles and mopeds were required to have it on the left side. You can tell a US model from an EU model by the location of the engine stop button. Left is EU, right is US.

Di Blasi R7 (M1 engine) right case versions

M1 engine case: The right engine case half has threaded mount holes and centering ridges for the stator base plate. The 1979 to 7/95 R7ST, R7WT, R7TB had CEV magnetos 6956, 6931, 6932 and 6477 with 80 mm 2-bolt stator base plates. The 7/95 and later R7TB, R7E and R7E-V2 had Ducati or IDM F085 magnetos with 94 mm 2-bolt stator base plates. The post 7/95 case had both stator mounts 80 and 94. It interchanged with the pre 7/95 case, so the part number did not change.

Many other Di Blasi parts were changed or improved without changing the part number, as long as they could correctly replace the previous part version.

Crankshaft right end: The right crankshaft tapered end holds the flywheel precisely. The taper angle has one standard. The diameter has two standards. A woodruff key locates the flywheel at the correct ignition timing angle. The key width is 3.0 mm. The Di Blasi R7 timing angle is the same as a late 70’s or 80’s Minarelli V1, because they both used, at different times, the same CEV 6931 or 6932 magneto-flywheel.

3. Engine Parts Comparison

The purpose here is to learn about Cady models, their parts differences, and then to specify or offer replacement parts.

1. Identification

Cady Engines

Most Motobecane moped engines have the pulley-clutch on the left and the magneto-generator on the right. But Motobecane Cady and Moby X have Isodyne (same side) engines have both clutch and magneto on the left.

1. ’66-74 19641 Isodyne M1 motor has rounded head fins,
no bulge on right case (no right bearing).

2. ’74-78 20108 Isodyne M1 motor has angled head fins,
no bulge on right case (no right bearing).

3. ’74-78 22200 Super Isodyne M3 has angled head fins,
with bulge on right case for right bearing.

4. ’75-78 22329 Super Isodyne M3 has angled head fins,
with a bearing greaser on the right case.

Look for the buldge

Mid-70’s Cady M1PRTS yellow and M3PRTS blue are identical.
The only visible difference is the bulge in the M3 right engine case.
Only a right side view shows this.

Look for the light

The headlight style and color can narrow down the identity.

3. Engine Parts Comparison

The purpose is to provide replacement parts for Cady, by knowing which parts are the same as on US models. Cady’s were sold in Canada, but not in the US.

1959 Ward Riverside

1974 Motobecane Cady

1977 Motobecane 50V

Here ’66-77 Motobecane Cady engine parts are compared with other US-model Motobecane mopeds, ’57-64 Wards Riverside and ’74-80 Motobecane 50V.

Piston rings: In June 1976 Motobecane piston rings changed on all models. Before 6/76 the the 14821 ring gap style was GN (grano normal) where the piston ring stop pin was on one side of the ring groove. After 6/76 the 22148 ring gap style was GI (grano interno) where the piston ring pin was in the center of the ring groove.

Cady pistons have 7 sorts and 2 ring gap styles
Left is 6/76-on, center-pin GI, 22481 to 22487
Right is to-6/76, side-pin GN, 19185 to 19103

Piston: Pistons for Isodyne engines (on Cady and Moby X) are special. They have a 11 mm wrist pin, unlike most other 50cc pistons, and a total height of 47.5mm. The cylinder bore is 39mm. More precisely,, the bore ranges from 38.98 to 39.04 mm in seven tiny increments of 0.01 mm, called sorts. Cylinders and pistons are stamped with a letter. The replacement piston should be the same sort as the cylinder (unless the cylinder is worn).

After July 1976 Motobecane stopped making pistons with side-pins. From then on they made only ones with center-pins. The seven sorts of pre-6/76 replacement pistons remaining in the late 1970’s were sold until each size ran out. Then only center-pin replacements 22481-22487 were supplied when an older part number 19185-19103 was requested.

Colors: light grey means superseded, blue means same as AV7 Vc

Japanese 5 mm screws changed in 1969

Screwy threads: The 5mm screws in the 5150 and 5151 black controls have regular metric thread M5-0.8. That has been the world standard since 1969. But the 5mm screws on all of the other Taiwan moped controls are pre-1969 JIS (Japan Industry Standard) thread M5-0.9, which is coarser.

1970’s Taiwan controls are remakes of 1960’s Japanese controls, made from 1960’s molds and tooling. 1980’s Taiwan controls are remakes of certain 1970’s Japanese controls, made from 1970’s molds and tooling. That’s why 1150, 3150, 4150 have the special thread and 5150, 5151 have regular thread. This thread confusion is only for the 5mm size screws.

1150 controls

Taiwan 1150 control housings are separate from the electrical switch housing. The electrical buttons are near the riders thumbs. The brake levers are about 1.5 inch longer, because the lever housings (perches) are 1.5 inch further inward on the handlebar.

Taiwan 1150 levers break easy, because they are only 6mm wide at the pivot. Most other vintage Japanese small motorcycle hand levers are 8mm wide at the pivot.

1150 and 2150: The entire Grycner parts list uses 2150 prefix on all parts except hardware. But most parts on a Grycner are the same as on Lazer step-thru. That is evident from photos. What is different is the engine, Minarelli or Sachs, and the parts that are connected to the engine. The 2150 controls are the same as 1150. The 2150 front brake cable is the same as 1150. But the 2150 throttle, start, and choke cables are different from 1150, since they go to different engines.

1150 left control

1150 right control

What the 1150 left control does:

Minarelli engine, rear hand brake:
left lever is rear brake, lower lever is clutch

Sachs 505 engine with rear foot brake:
left lever is clutch, lower lever is choke

Taiwan moped controls: a. 1150 Minarelli and b. 2150 Sachs

ULO Tail Lights

April 18, 2021

ULO made tail lights, reflectors, and turn signals for German mopeds, Hercules (Sachs), Kreidler, Solo, Kynast, and tail lights for many non-German mopeds, Batavus, Sparta, Puch, Peugeot, Motobecane and Honda PA50.

ULO was founded by Moritz Ullman in 1947 in Geislingen Germany. Ullman knew how to make molded glass products, like bicycle reflectors. Today ULO is worldwide, making tail lights for cars like BMW and Audi.

250 and 248: There are two versions of 1970’s -80’s moped tail lights, 250 and 248. The black housing says the number on the inside. The 250 came first in about 1972 to 1978. The 248 replaced the 250 in about 1978 to 1984.

Dates: ULO plastic parts have a date mark. The lens has the compliance standards and those have a start date.

ignition ground resistor in parallel with brake
USA ’78-82 Batavus

Rep 250 replica, bulbs 12V 10w and 12V 5w
has no upper mount hole, loose bulb sockets
does not allow original wires under fender

The housing has no upper mount hole, so a 6mm (15/64″) hole must be drilled. The housing and lens screw hole tubes are 2mm higher and 1mm farther apart. So the lens does not directly fit an original ULO 250 housing. The bulb holder-mirror is different, a metal plate with plastic bulb sockets that are loose. The looseness might cause bulb burnout from vibration. The bulb sockets have 3mm male blade connectors, instead of 8mm male blades like the originals. So the original wires with 8mm female blade connectors will not fit.

Rep 250-w replica, bulbs 6V 10w and 6V 5w
modified to accept original wires

Made from: 1) Rep-hous with the upper mount hole drilled, M5 or M6 mount bolt added, wires hole widened to 9 mm, 2) Rep-mirr with 8mm blade connectors soldered on, 3) Rep-lens, 4) Rep-ST44 screws.

Benefits: 1) allows the original wires to be reused, 2) the wire connectors are protected inside the light, unlike a plain Rep 250 where they are under the fender, 3) replaces ULO 250-2. Can also replace CEV lights without ignition ground resistors, with fender drilling.

Rep 250m1 replica, bulb 6V 21/5w (or 12V)
modified with ULO 1-bulb holder

Made from: 1) Rep-hous with the upper mount hole drilled, M5 or M6 mount bolt added, lens screw posts reduced in height, wires hole widened to 9 mm, 2) 250-0016 with the top cut down by 2 mm and the screw holes moved 1 mm farther apart by grinding off the outer edge, 3) Rep-lens, 4) 250-ST55 55 mm screws shortened to 50 mm.

Benefits: 1) solid bulb sockets for less bulb burn out, 2) uses the same original wires, no soldering, 3) replaces ULO 250-1. Can also replace CEV lights with ignition ground resistors, with fender drilling.

Rep 250m2 replica, bulbs 6V 10W and 6V 5W (or 12V)
modified with ULO 2-bulb holder

Made from: 1) Rep-hous with the upper mount hole drilled, M5 or M6 mount bolt added, the lens screw posts reduced in height, the wires hole widened to 9 mm, 2) 248-0016 with the top cut down by 2 mm and the screw holes moved 1 mm farther apart by grinding off the outer edge, 3) Rep-lens, 4) 250-ST55 55 mm screws shortened to 50 mm.

Benefits: 1) solid bulb sockets for less bulb burn out, 2) uses the same original wires, no soldering, 3) replaces ULO 250-2. Can also replace CEV lights without ignition ground resistors, with fender drilling.

73r Rep-mirr

The little rubber grommets #72 for the two-bulb holder-mirror, are important. When one is missing, the bulb holder is loose. Engine vibration causes the loose holder to “buzz” or vibrate and rub against the lens and housing. The buzzing causes the bulbs to burn out, and produces white powder. The white plastic dust or powder is evidence of “buzzing”. Slices of small rubber hose can be good substitutes.

The fender mount was made to interchange with CEV 9417. The upper 6mm stud on CEV 9417 was very short. That made the special shoulder nut necessary, on 1978-2012 Tomos with CEV 9417. This Saturnus mount uses separate bolts, which are longer. That eliminates the need for a more costly shoulder nut. So Saturnus mount uses a 2mm shorter nut, 2mm longer bolt, 2mm longer spacer. This makes the bolts/nuts 2mm closer to the rear tire.

8. Fiem Tail Lights

Fiem tail and turn lights are made in India. On US models, Fiem rear lamps are on early 2000’s Hero Pacer, Panther, Ankur (Hero Majestic), Cosmo Stinger (Mont) and Avanti Autopower, Mont, Supersport, Kobra (Mont) mopeds.

Fiem tail light on Hero Pacer

Fiem tail light on Avanti Autopower

These two lights are the same. The Avanti one is missing the lower red reflector and left side reflector. The Hero one is missing the right side reflector. The top bulb is bigger for the brake light, 12V 10W with base BA15S (bayonet 12 mm single contact). The bottom bulb is smaller for the tail light, 12V 4W with base BA9S (bayonet 9 mm single contact). The tail light also illuminates the license plate through a clear bottom in the red lens.

The Avanti wire colors are yellow = tail, green = brake, black = ground. See wirings for more.

USA moped tail lights: 1970’s and 1980’s USA moped models generally have different tail lights than European models. That is because of the 1972 and 1976 US DOT motor vehicle safety requirements for motor-driven cycles and motorized bicycles. The rear light must shine to the rear and the sides, and illuminate the license plate. The rear of the bike must have red side and rear reflectors. Putting the reflectors with the tail light eliminates the need for adding them on elsewhere. Also the bulbs are bigger, 15 not 9mm, because of higher watts required for the running light, 5 watts instead of 3, and for the brake light 10 watts instead of nothing.

The most troublesome US DOT requirement was that the brake light operation cannot cause the head light to get dimmer. This meant that the brake light had to be powered by a separate source coil in the magneto-generator. There was no solid-state voltage regulation until the mid-1980’s. The AC voltage was crudely regulated by generator magnetism, rather than a external mechanical or electronic device.

Internal ignition ground family: Some US moped versions had an additional source coil to operate the brake light, such as Puch or Batavus (Bosch magnetos). On these the brake light wires never cause the engine to not run. The ignition source coil is grounded internally, inside the generator. So the ignition is never affected by any of the lights.

The brake light only needs to be matched with the generator source coil, usually 6 volt 10 watt. Unlike your house, a higher wattage bulb makes less light. If a 6V 18W bulb is used, it will be dim. If a 6V 5W bulb is used, it will be too bright and burn out.

External ignition ground family: Some US mopeds use the ignition source coil to operate the brake light, such as Garelli or Minarelli with (CEV magnetos). On these the brake light wires can cause the engine to loose spark and not run. If the connecters or wires are corroded or loose, on the brake light wires, the engine will stall when the brakes are applied. If the brake switch wires up at the handlebars are also loose, then the engine will not ever “have spark”. Removing the tail light assembly, or changing it, can cause these bikes to not run.

The brake light needs a 4 ohm (10 watt max) resistor in parallel with a 6 volt 10 watt bulb #81, or just a 6 volt 18 watt bulb #1129, or a 6V 21/5W #1154 dual filament bulb. For a brighter brake light but a weaker ignition spark, the resistor can be 6.8 ohm 10 watt.

Modern family: After the 1980’s, thankfully, there were no more mopeds with external ignition grounds. They had internal ignition grounds. So the brake light wires never cause the engine to loose spark. Their solid state AC voltage regulators allowed all the lights to run off of the same generator wire, yet still stay the same brightness as additional lights (brake) were turned off or on. The modern family also uses 12 volt bulbs instead of 6 volt.

The brake light bulb does not need to be any particular wattage. Just like in your house, a higher wattage bulb would produce more light. You want the brake light to be brighter than the tail light, for safety, but it doesn’t need to be.

Price List: Prices are for each item. Bright green means new. Dark green means used. N/A means not available.

Screws: M means metric machine screw M3, M4, M5, M6. ST means self tapping screw (for plastic).

Here are switches that are, or can be, integrated or built into the hand controls.
