I'd be interested to know the max distance eye to eye, only coz some tit welded the upper brackets on the forks too high! Standard type fit okay, but BGM don't extend that far

There's a pic of them on the logo for this site for Lambretta Tech, so I guess they must be okay

I've studied the ones I've got [from Saigon scooter centre] and studied their website and nowhere on either does it mention Japan, so the Japanese ones must be different, though the pictures look exactly the same. They look quality so it'd be easy to confuse them with goods of Japanese origin.

Those are the scootrs Atomic ones, very similar visually to the BGM ones but a bit slimmer.
