yes all parts will need to be striped down to individual parts prior to blasting ,chroming ,painting or what ever

better way to describe what i mean. If you imagine the forks are an inverted Y, does the bootom part of the Y come away from the top of the Y?
May have confused the issue there

The forks are the whole thing____imagine the shape of a fork 
However, part 84 on this diagram which is the bearing track, and the cover below do come off. If you're going to have the forks blasted and powder coated, you don't actually need to remove them as long as the bearing track is smooth and not too badly pitted. You can merely powder coat the part below.
A couple of suggestions_____bag up and label everything you take off so you know where it all goes back on. Take loads of digi photos to remind you later. When you come to get it all blasted, powder coated, painted, whatever, take it to someone who has done Lammies before. They'll know how to blast the various parts, otherwise, you might find some of the alloy parts have been blasted to smithereens.
The cowling____personally, I'd get a set of mole grips on it and pull it back into shape___an original one will still fit better than an aftermarket copy, believe me. You might want to consider opening it out anyway to allow you easier access to the exhaust nuts especially if you're putting a none standard exhaust on later.
Good luck

Stork,
cheers for that. Have been taking pics and have also freezer bagged everything. Now just a case of removing all the odds and sods from the frame and ill be ready to get it balsted.
Fingers crossed it comes back without to many holes.

Sef! Have you got any mates who are into scooters?
I'm not trying to be some sort of anal sphincter here, but it sounds like you don't much about Lambrettas. You need help from someone with experience. The way you are heading you're going to break something and it might be a part of you!
Stripping them is the easy bit. Remembering how to put it back together is more tricky!
If you can't get help. Stop! and spend a week reading Sticky's book.
