Re: Original saddle seat nerds, apply here!

Yours appear to be the same back and front, except the base.

And a 3rd manufacturer!

Thanks again.

Re: Original saddle seat nerds, apply here!

Thanks again.

How odd that they used two different seat makers. (And that yours are the opposite of the ones I have here.) I wonder if everyone's is like this.

No wonder companies go broke :o

Re: Original saddle seat nerds, apply here!

Thanks, everything helps.

Strange, on mine the AR is the rear one. I do see some of the other differences on yours, like the back bit is bigger on one like on mine, and the top bar where the triangle attaches.

If anyone can weigh in with what they have...

If you have single front/rear seats on your Lambretta, could you take a moment and add a comment on this thread to help us make a new item:

Thanks.

Original saddle seat nerds, apply here!

Wondering if a seat expert can help out here. We're redoing our Lambretta saddle seats but these samples we have appear to be two different makes, Aquila and AR (A.Rejna?), though front and rear. I assume the Aquila is typical, not the AR, but can anyone clarify which bits front and back are differe...

Re: Best front damper for a race scooter

I'm having a bit of a crisis of confidence about my anti-dive. I've followed my own rules (actually, it was Rob at JB's "rule") of using a parallelagram, but some how it just looks like the parallelagram will squash-up under braking, and the torque arm between the caliper and the forks wi...

Re: Best front damper for a race scooter

Don't those bolt-on anti-dive brackets spin around or move? I can't see how they wouldn't with the force on them. I see that one goes past on the side, but even if the bar across from the caliper plate hit perfectly in the middle of the fork there would still be a tendency to spin around the fork to...

Re: Fork Buffer Position

We just came out with nice new fork buffers top and bottom and had to go over all that again. On the product page onsite we have included an old forum quote from Sticky: I had a big discussion about this one with Hippy Jerry previously of Scooter Surgery and a well known top Lammy builder. He had al...

Re: How much of a performance hit from this sucker?

Corrado, is that a self-portrait? ;)

You can enlarge the inlet hole on them for more powerful engines (to a degree) but they do get quite loud. (I refer to the exhaust now, not Corrado's avatar.)
