edens description of air brakes is so true,
if you,ve ever been on a plane and have looked at the wings upon descending /approaching landing...you will have noticed that they deploy extra flaps to cut down air speed...
these are of course very efficient at slowing down an air craft from say 650 mph to a acceptible landing seed of approx 125mph.....
and coincidently look just like lambretta splash plates.................. :lol:

Hold on a minute, you'll have that old geezer, who had the fastest TV200 in the Medway area, singing the praises, of the splash plate on here in a minute.

I don't have them fitted to my scooters because they always end up bent up and the engines etc are always covered in crap anyway. Did Innocenti have a wind tunnel? ;)
