the angle of rake of fork stem is 23 1/2 degrees near as i can measure it anyway, an seems to be same on smallies , tho curve of spines doesnt match between my spanish 125 super an vbb measured at the centre tunnel seams by cardboard templates ,the smally floor an legshield curve does match ,the difference is in the indent in middle of floor where it rises up n meets tunnel/spine .an those holes will be covered nicely n braced ok with ramp shape boxes ,never seen a smallie with zip forks but the large frame one i have seen thats what they'd done ,an it was a high spec german street racer an looked well strong enough , H

Yes iam fitting the twin leg zip forks,already have the conversion tube from duepercento,waste of time trying to contact fabbri racing from scotering add Just so everyones knows the this conversion tube only fits the zip mk1 single sided fork, the inner steering tube diameter is larger on the twin leg mk2 forks(I,ve had to make a collar to make it a flush tight fit therefore ensuring the tube is on perfectly true)

an they came off a crappy 4 stroke aswell, your right tho the zip sp is a seriously tunable 2 stroke ,with its own class in racing , i regulary bump into a local lad on his on my way to work, he thrashes my scoots an it takes all i'm willing to cane out of my yam 600cc to keep up with him , he's only got 1 throttle position ,WOT, an no gear changes , i often take a different route now as it was embarrasing being thrashed by a fat-lad flying L,eper plates, on a 50??cc , H

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont kill a zip SP just for its front fork they are amazing scoots with huge potential. For every zip that gets violated I will fire up the angle grinder and use it to rape a smallframe vespa Plenty of Zip SP forums for you and your angle grinder to piss off to

oh dear,jimmy, is the heat/camel flies n dust startin to get too you ,weathers just turned nice here aswell , H EVERYONE CHILL I'm just not a fan of the wanton use of the word 'rape', to be honest, whether used in jest or not and applied to smallies or otherwise. Carry on looking forward to seeing the results of this.

Should have got a SWB Landy! Dropping the tyre pressures a bit helps when going over the soft stuff, and if you haven't got any then the escape mat thingies are good that you put under the wheels once you've dug down a bit.

They're allowed as long as you don't show them any affection in public

i'm afraid to ask , but, the only thing thats ever shown my knees "affection" is my staff-cross "bully" (coz he is ,) an a swift kick to the dangles usually cures him straight off , so what do ya reckon the morality polices punishment for "public knee love" would be , that an where is it your local too , as i want to make sure i'm never stranded there on my own at night , public knee love ,well i never heard the like ,i'm shocked , H
