Re: Headset Control Roll Pins Help Needed
Mine tapped in nice and snugly, however after a few hundred miles the throttle one worked its way out, I used a machine screw and nyloc instead, no problem since.

Re: Lambretta electrics
The white lead that is broken goes to the headlamp adjuster, as said its a crap earth, put a crimp tag on the end and clamp to one of the screws that hold the rod clamps down.

Re: CYCLONE GEARBOX – BATCH 2 RECALL
When I read this recall announcement my thought was, if only my customers in the 'real world of business' would accept this if I made a mistake, they are being expected to, drain gearbox, strip and remove gears, and repeat process, only in the scootering world. Bearing in mind the cost if these kits...

That second frame was rusty, but at least it was honest, and the result looks great.

Re: REGISTERING A SCOOT
From what I can see it seems way too easy to clone scooters, there seems to be regular frames on eBay with no numbers, even with a number buyers wouldn't know until registration time after many months of hard work restoring that it was a clone. My first scoot was a pk 50, first electric start in wes...
