Any one got experience with ScootRS body panels ?

Anything related to Lambrettas... ask tech questions, post helpful info, or just read and learn.

Syd...i think you should now stop" bleating on endlessly" about your snapped lever,and bringing the subject up again and again as you have done now,interupting other topics/threads etc

it is of course regrettable that it happend and lead to an incident ,but i,m sure many of us have had similar things happen,personally over the years i,ve had about six levers snap on me
2 on yamaha rd,s
2 on crossers (1 maico,1 RM )
1 std lambo
1 std vespa
also had lots of cables snap ,tubes blow outs etc etc...........

theres all sorts of things that can break or go wrong on scoots,some which may lead to some sort of accident..........
but thats why we have insurance........
I must say that i am really confused as to why you are constantly hassleing randell over this.

Hi All

Yesturday evening I compleeted my order list to ScootRS and sent the order (it became quite a long list of spare parts since the $-rate is low). I have ordered all the parts directly from ScootRS homepage so there is no intermediate traders imbetween.

I'm looking forward with great interest to recieve the parts.
I hope they are as good quality as the regular byers of ScootRS parts say they are.

I send pics of the side panels fitted on my TV175 Mk when I get them.

Read: a quick 2-line note asking nicely to please not link us to companies we have nothing to do with, then getting back insults, clairvoyance and demands to explain what other companies do - which continues in the new posts.

>>I've never once claimed "to know everything about Italy".
>>there is, for example, only one manufacturer of Lambretta wheel rims in Italy.

:roll:
Randall, you really must stop making things up in such an obvious and unnecessary fashion. There are scores of people on this site who have known me personally for many years. I have ridden with them, drunk with them, rallied with them. They know full well that it takes a lot to rile me, so if I told you to fcuk off, you would have deserved it 100 times over.

As for Lambretta wheel rim manufacturers in Italy, blimey, who knows, I could be wrong. :shock: :o Personally I have only heard of one, F.A. Italia, based in Como, Northern Italy. They also make hubs and other Lambretta & Vespa parts. The last time I was there, six or seven years ago, they claimed to be the only large scale Italian manufacturer of standard wheel rims.

If you know of more, enlighten us all: you know, unlike you I'm really not bothered about admitting a mistake. Most importantly, there is a big difference between claiming "to know everything about Italy" - which I have never ever done - and making a claim about who manufactures ONE particular product.

The question you still have not answered - and people are beginning to notice, Randall - is whether you manufacture your own stainless rims or have a separate manufacturer to the one who supplies Sterling.

Ultimately, your problem is that despite the fact that your firm makes and sells some excellent parts you are a terrible advert for them. The fact that you don't appear to realise this is, depending on how one looks at it, either incredibly funny or rather sad.

i've always found a good service with scootrs and find the quality ok for the price paid. i've never had them take my money and never come up with the goods like scooters rock, a company with no address and no communication based in the u.k!!!!!! generally i find most suppliers decent mbd are exceptional and the german suppliers are good, and living in france i rely 100% on mail order, i think we're all entitled to our opinions but personal attacks are not necessary. with scootrs stainless rims for example does their site not explain that they may be a problem as stainless is more brittle and are marked 'show use only' that's all i need to know, don't chance it., but that's just my opinion.
back to subject though, i would like to know how good there panels are what about people who have bought complete scooters, surely they use their in house panels, i think i read the paintwork doesn't last though?? the problem we have if we buy a dodgy panel it's abl@@dy long way to send it back!!!

have bought and used many scootrs products and will continue to do so,as i have never had any issues with them at all,........
and i really wish i could say the same of many UK businesses/makers/manufactures........ :shock: :lol:

IMO scootrs panels etc are excellant,
just recently on a couple of projects here that are on going,we have used SCOOTRS drops for gp bars,SCOOTRS SS90 bars for vespa.........and as always many of their disc brake set ups
plus quite a few panels etc ........

every thing is really very good/high quality..........far above and beyond what is available elsewhere .......... :D

My life is upside down at the moment, got lots of stuff going on, and so dont get chance to read all of the threads on here right now, so when i saw the topic title and the opening post, i thought no more of it...not been back to check on replies...until i was asked to tonight.

FFS..............let the fcuking thread revolve around the topic title and not digress into personal diatribes and historical vendettas etc. We've got loads of good stuff going on here, stop dragging every ScootRS thread back down to the same old s**t.

Please!!

Dear all

Having red the entire thred (after posting my message before this one) I came to the conclusion that a very few posts have given me some feed back on my original question.

I was just about to write a message declaring that conclusion when I saw that drunkmonkey6969 already had -maybe in other words that I would have uesd ;) but getting to the same point.


Sean Brady:

Thanks for your input that is excactly the type of info that I'm looking for - users of the ScootRS panels telling me about their experience with the ScootRS panels that I'm interested in (and now have bought).


Thanks
