leaving aside the discussion around whether an R1 shock is suitable for a Lambretta, if you are going to use one [and I do] do fit some decent bushes, so not like these :
new bushes ~ thanks shocky, excellent service ~ now fitted, with spacers made up to fit behind the shock.
the top one was totally off centre and had a bit of rubber wedged around halfway, the bottom one was just steel. And this was on a scooter that allegedly has had £10,000 spent on it... :shocking: R1 shock bushes !
told you there was some suspect bits on it m8




no m8 im recovering from a hangover (i hope).

I'm after some advice on where to buy R1 bushes from. I've been trying to get hold of Absolutely scooters but haven't heard anything back from emails or PM's through here.
Thanks

I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.
