Fitted one on my GP....improved braking but still not brilliant....may need a bit more tweaking ? .....don't get your hopes up !!

It can't hurt, but for my money, the ScootRS front disk is still the best thing I've ever bought for a Lambretta. I use the back brake to slow down. If I want to stop I use the front.

A welcome innovation for sure. But, in my experience, if you have a decent hub, shoes, cable and Li cam set up you shouldn't have a problem. Even on an Indian 200 case. Both mine will lock up at 30mph+ if I'm not careful.

Good luck with yours. What's the new Camel livery?

I too fitted this upgrade to my Lammy, it has improved the braking, but not by a great deal.
