got a set of honda bali forks u can have
3.50x10 wheel, disc brake, caliper, hose, and lever
its double damper and has anti dive
easily modded to vespa,
70mm packer machined from steel
pushed onto the stem and then puddle welded on, top of
that is machined to hold the vespa bearing cup, then just simply measure and cut a vespa stem and weld it on top, oh and weld a small block of steel onto the packer as a steering stop
tyre is flat and it needs new pads
can post for a tenner

Nik, before you fit silly forks have a look at lauro caforio sprinting. Now if you or any of us can get near those times then celebration. You dont need bloody honda melody forks..you need proper chassis set up and technique. Look closely what he has done.

Thanks for that..... Im going for that set up because of the frame set up ect ,ect , Watching lauro is a pretty good way of learning .. But ive done quite alot of sprinting at various places over the years (scooter events ) and had good results ..... Lauro has a huge heavy billet of lead o=under his front mudgaurd ..... Now im going light ......( loseing 3 stone ;D) lengthining the frame ,cutting the frame ..... Input and advice greatly apprciated though Fella because im sure i may ask for some set up ideas for pure POWER ( out goes realiability again :  |

Well looking at that thing go and the time he set he was on line even if he carried on at the terminal he hit of 85 for a uk record. Keith Terry looked at it and told me that. Please dont melody the pk.. I know pk's are ugly.. but there is no need to insult it any more! ;D
