Scooterotica

Can't you loosen the stand brackets and move it 5mm to the right?

oh, right, sorry
still might need to bend it out though.

My bad where did you get it from? If its from Asia it could be a dodgy one. Don't get me wrong not all Asian stuff is rubbish but a lot of it is. I would try a genuine SIL one from Scooter restorations or a genuine Innocenti one.

the stand came with the scoot, sat perfect with a pm pipe on it, the stand will not move over even if i loosen the stand fixings either, it needs to move over around 50mm not 5mm.

does this pipe have a separate u bend section, if so could main expansion not slide further onto u bend by trimming down the lugs on that huge alloy front exhaust bracket by a few mm or removing what look like rubber inserts if thats what they are

going to have another look tomorrow, had to walk away from her tonight, really pissed off at the moment

I remember modding a stand for a mate a few years ago. He was using a genuine Taffy pipe. I added about 12mm to the width of the stand.

took 5mm from both sides of the slip joint and "tweeked" the fitment - it helped kink out the tailpipe away from the rear side panel - used a scooter loopy john fixing and worked well - the secret is to not have the exhaust stressed when loosly fitted as they tend to crack/fail otherwise

dont you just love lambrettas

all sorted now, just pissed about with the stand and a blow torch

i would now check the ground clearance of the stand on right handers,you dont want it digging in and launching you off,just a thought as it looks well outside your runner board.
