I would be very careful using a cyclone in anything with any power as there is no telling when it will break,destroy your engine,or worse
Sorry to hear that. What let go? Seems that it's the Christmas tree in most cases. hope the damage ain't to bad.

It does seem there are issues getting the final gear and corresponding cog to line up flush. mine was way out first go but by the end I had about a 3/4 match. Iv seen a thread somewhere I think that says you can get a 100 match but requires some lathe work. Not what you want when spending nigh on £900 but that's pretty much the case for most Lambretta upgrades..

I've fitted one to my RB and it's great so far,I didn't think there were any more available at this point??
If MB can do them they should maybe break cover and start taking names of who would like one etc, I can't see enough people chapping there door to ask,if they offered it up on the other hand I think it would be a different story

hmmm thats strange as I dont think any of my lambretta upgrades needed any lathework???
Angle grinders, welders and a clothes horse yes, but certainly not a lathe!
