I can only echo what's already been said, simply stunning work with a lot of well considered engineering. That said, I can't help but think that the ScootRs front brake might be a bit vicious

That size of the calliper and master cylinder fitted to a Lambretta is tricky especially on loose or wet surfaces so it will be even worse on something as light as a Sportique. A modified Speedfighter master cylinder (Grimeca) might be a little more progressive?

When I saw them I thought they were the same as these that knowledge used

the whole thing looks so right and brilliantly (but definitely not) simple which make it so worth while.
the engineering is superb to make a humble sportique so desirable
I`ve always hated bretta forks in vespas as usually they come with hugger mudguards but in this case with the gp turning mudguard it just looks so right.
top job - keep the pictures coming

I see that you have the modified bell intake on the PWK... how do you find them... do they make a difference?

Incredible build. Every step seemed to come with an entirely new surprise. Lots of new and creative ideas, and maybe a few I may gleam for myself to use on future builds. Can't wait to see some pics on the road.
