Scooterotica

I have just begun the process of restoring a series 3 LI125 and as I have begun to strip it, I have found myself wondering if the frame is straight. I'm pretty sure that the forks are bent too.

I'm dead keen to get these right before I plough in with everything else, but have no idea how to check them and/or get the straightened if they're out-of-true.

Anyone know where, who, how etc etc this can be sorted?

I'm loath to buy new forks as I'm scared of the fact that they come from India plus I'd like to keep the ones that have been in (probably) for 50 years.

sent you a PM mate

If you need new forks, as I did for my Jet, you won't go far wrong with a pair of Scomadi forks from PM Tuning. In mild steel or stainless, quality piece of kit.

Try Shaun Burns, he's at Stanley Crook and has a proper frame jig.

aye thanks wurzel. His name is cropping up all over the place, so it seems he's the man.

Aye he's got one of mine up there at the mo. Was recommended to me and he does welding,
jigging and painting
