Pissed off the neighbors, shredded the lawn, and smiled from ear to ear (not necessarily in that order!) but managed to sneak in a ride before the sun set yesterday. Seems to want to "go" something pretty good, but a loose fork and no rear brake kept me to 2-3 gear just to check that the clutch works and it shifts through the gears. So far so good, will post a video real soon! In the meantime, here are a couple updates...
Ended up purchasing a seat from Mark at Scooter Speed. Pretty happy with the shape, but I think it will get a recover. Not because it needs it mind you, but because I can't leave well enough alone...

Fuel selector from a jetski so that I could utilize the "reserve" portion of the stainless tank I built, modified to mate to the stock Lambretta selector lever

Had to machine another sidecover so that I could run a kickstart until the motor is up and running, then I will revisit the electric start. This meant a redesign of the hydraulic clutch was possible, resulting in a better working (and removable) unit.
