you would be surprised at the difference it does make

wind is off the torso, as it is now deflected at shoulders and head

need to work out how to attach a set of barkbusters now

Being posted under the 'Lambretta Tech' subject, this has to be one of our more technical breakthroughs for the Lambretta scooter.

Well done David :lol: :lol: :lol:

I`m curious, do you ever have problems with air in the hydraulic line?

like the idea of cheap fairing I`m sure it helps

No not at all but i do change the fluid on a yearly basis and use dot 5.1 as well as stripping the caliper down to clean the piston up after the winter

always seemed to run goodridge hoses like this in the 80's and early 90's on bikes when money was tight as it was easier to buy lines of crashed bikes from breakers

much prefer rubber hoses on scootrs disks as they are slightly overbraked imho with goodridge style hoses and I prefer the feel of a rubber hose on this setup
