i`ve just got one for a vespa i`m doing - from Saigon scooter centre - good quality

they do a petrol tank for a lambretta which looks like an SS90 but is longer - i would speak to Pat and see what he can do

to be honest looking at the photos of the upsetter i`ve never really considered it but i think i`ll use one on my next project - a series 2 with a difference !

the brackets that are on the vespa one will require reworking to suit

I`ll have a good look at it when i get home on Sunday

The Upsetter custom Lambretta is one of my favourite (and mostly one of the few I can remember... by Scootering) but the rear bracket seems too long so a longer tank should be better. What about the front bracket? is there one? The scooter seems a little bit different from the Scootering issue isn't it?
