Re: Auto Lambretta conversions

Button, I like it, you've got further than me, on the look out for a frame loop, typically, there were loads about last year, but nothing now I want one. With the engine mount I was going to extend the existing mount tube then insert a anti rollbar type bush in there and as for the shock my frame ha...

Re: Auto Lambretta conversions

Thanks guys for the suggestions I just fancied the twin as it sounds great and hopefully I won't have to do any major frame chops to do it, weld on mount on opposite site for rear shock. I've got the twister now and whilst my Ts1 is out of my gp I'm gonna sit it in there. I'll post some picks when I...

Re: Auto Lambretta conversions

Thanks guys, once I get sorted, I'll post some pic's I know that parts are a little hard to get hold of for this Particular motor, but love the idea of the twin, it has endy pipes And sounds great.

Re: RB20 carb advice

Hi I'd just talk to AF and see what they think will be best for your set up / requirements... I'm looking at building an 80's style street racer from an old cut Li frame next year. once your up and running post here how it feels / goes etc, I'll be very interested. Good luck with it. ..................
