Finally sorted out the headset clamp how I wanted it (just loose fitted together at mo) The stainless lid fits the chrome perfectly, a few holes in the side for the cables and hydraulics and jobs a good un ;-)

The panels fit well, just needed to take a little excess from the moulding from the underside of the rear runners, and a little off the horn cast where the mudguard goes to allow a bit more clearance.

Here's a little update (not been in the garage for a while)
I wanted to mount the speedo on the glove box and couldn't find a 'pod' online to house the sip speedo in, I went to the bike breakers and got free run of the store area to have a route around (fecking ace), I found a Yamaha rev counter exactly the right size...all I need to do is gut it and securely fit the sip one inside.

Image

Taking it apart without knacking it was a hassle as internally it was a sealed unit...but with the help of a dremmel....

Image

USB charger and ignition key also fitted to glovebox
Image

Image

The scoot was sent to a mate for the paint Lambretta: Dawn Grey, really nice glossy grey with a hint of blue...really nice job (cheers Jay)

Image

The scoots now been dispatched to Colin at Garage Artwerks

For him to get messy with the dulex and 5" brushes that he uses!!!!!!!!! Nope...... its been entrusted in his more than capable hands, to work his magic with a little sign writing etc 8-)


Cheers

Nice thread. Thanks for the Fiat Abarth colour idea :) Oh and the powder coating in primer. :oops: Never thought of that.

Do you have a picture of your hitech frame stand, on its own.
