Lambretta side stand?

[LambDL150]

Apart from the fact that it is obviously not original, are there any other cons to fitting a side stand?

Sean swears by fitting it engine side..makes sense as well..check a picture of rat fink

Sorry Andy, you lost me there??? I'm not the tallest Lambretta owner, and just thought that by fitting a side stand, I'd get a better length kicking stroke? I wondered if a side stand would twist the moutings etc?

just giving some good advise..erm well short (pardon the pun) of elton johns platform boots im not really sure can you lean the scooter over to the left as far as possible ?? I have a friend who is rather short and it can be quite entertaining tbh when he is kicking off a lammy

we always keep a couple of shortarses in the club, just for the comedy value of them kicking over/or push starting their scooters. for extra hilarity, take the plug lead off, and watch the little buggers jump up and down like f@@k while tryin to get a lammy gannin. endless hours of fun! full members are 6 foot or over.

Trying to kick it over on a side stand is asking for a bent side stand or cross member IMHO

Whatever stand, take it off it before you kick it...

f****n ell....forget side stands for kickstarts....KICK START OFF THE STAND.

However....kick starting aside.....side stands look cool as f@@k on cut downs, and should be on the correct side (for balance reasons) hence Andys post! Lol

Love mine but its a bitch to work on the carb side as it leans towards you

Put a brick under it.....lol
