Evening Guys,

Can a R1 shock with a horizontal gas cylinder be used and still be able to use my side panels ?

R1/R6 conversion shockies with the horizontal gas canister are best suited for cutdowns. As there is no clearance between the sidepanel and the shock absorber (on my GP anyways)........

I dont know if any needs it but this site http://www.lambretta.org/message/login. ... portalhome has a complete photographic "how to" guide on this conversion. You need to become a member which I think is free unlike some other lambretta sites these days grrr. :o
