Re: Twisted crank?
Is it true what I've been told by one reputable dealer? That being that if you weld a crank[either a new one or one that's been twisted] when the welding is cooling off,that this will naturally cause the crank to twist out of line.I would of though welding would securely fix the pin and properly,bu...

Re: Twisted crank?
That looks twisted but the only way to know for sure is to put it up on some centers and run a dial indicator to see how far out it is. I don't know about you but I can't see if a crank is .001" out with out some special tools. Only once it's trued up then can you have it welded.

Re: BGM Pro Shock, looks the biz, but doesn't fit!
Take out the washer and loctite the bolt. Looks to be just enough room. Or like others said counter sink or button head the bolt and call it done.

Re: what price for series 4 frame
What's a series 4 ?? :oops: About 650 quid for a bare frame apparently :lol: The short answer is a 1400 bike run of LI125 that were a lot like late SX. Plastic glove box, push in dampers, clip on panels, square horn cast badge. Pretty rare in Lambretta terms and not a lot is known as to the why the...

Re: Clubman for an RB20
I saw one this weekend at the Lambretta Jamboree in Colorado Springs. In talking to the owner he said it was very straight forward with just a cut in the U bend, rotate and fill in the gap in the pipe. Post over on the LCUSA lambretta.org and you'll get a response from the owner on how exactly it wa...

Re: Need New Engine Mounts
I also thought longer engine mounts increased vibration slightly but gave stiffer handling..... stand to be corrected.... I've found it to be the other way around. Less vibration but more movement in the motor (at least with 3 hole type mounts). I have some solid Casa mounts on a motor that I'm try...

Re: MSC Micron?
Thanks for the responses. It seems as though mine may not be an isolated case. Using the bike for work this morning has convinced me that it cannot stay as it is; getting too hot and is too restrictive. Whilst the bike is now lovely and quiet, I've lost lots of revs and lots of performance :( Thank...

Re: Picked this up yesterday. Bit of a polish and we're off.
Probably gained 1 HP by just getting the 10 lbs of grime off it.
Looks great, I love the little rough ones.

Re: flatten areas with the help of layout fluid?
Hey, that's me in the video. Hope it helps on some level. I did get asked a couple of questions about it Why a file and not the plate glass method? Three reasons, the file gives better control over doing the work and you can apply more pressure on the flange to cut the metal faster. Second things li...
