Here's my new project
Series 1/2 (I have no idea what it is manufactured in 1959, can find anything of this era with these numbers....any how it has V5 so I'm happy)
Going to be made up of a new TS1 225, 30mm carb, JL4 Snail Pipe that I have from my other scoot, standard GP200 gear box, 5 plate clutch.
GRP Panels all round, Spanish style mudguard
motor cycle drop bars (seen these on few now and I think they look mint)
Paint wise I like the fiat 500 arbarth 'Campovolo' grey with some sign writing on the panels
Front outboard disk, gas front dampers
The first cut is the deepest
Blasted and powder coat primer, looks mint
GRP Panels

Did a test fit of bars at the weekend (sorry for s**t pics), need the panels etc before final fit to ensure I have clearance, cable routing etc.
Going to trim the plate down, as I don't need to mount a headlight on it
Bought most of the bits from beedspeed, 2nd hand brake master cylinder from a bike place (startright, leeds) a few cable bits n bobs from venhill, a horn main/dip switch that can be mounted on the bars from an old school motorcycle shop.
Found a perfect piece of steel that I can mount under the plate that'll hide the cables etc as they go through the chrome ring, the cables are gonna be a pain in the arse in terms of aesthetics, but overall I like the look so far.

The GRP panels arrived today, I've offered them up against the frame and they fit...which is nice really good finish on them. The bars (although not fitted/finished fully yet) will clear the panels. Just need some time to sort the forks out for the mudguard. The couple of areas that require fixings (horncast), I'm going to araldite stainless threaded rivets to the fixing areas (jobs a good un)

Had some time today to attempt to fit the mudguard...bit of a puzzle as I've never seen one in the nude! so to speak, anyway managed it gonna tack the locating ring to the forks when I get the damper brackets etc welded on.
Also done a little more work on the headset / bars and have decided that that beedspeed plate isn't going to work with the piece of metal lid thingy that I have in mind, to hide the cables going down the between the leg shields and panels, so I may be ditching it and using something else.

Mr Fandango
Yours was one of the scoots that influenced me on changing headsets, I had a peak at your photobucket / build pics (very good, love the paint). I have found a gear shifter with elbows built in, although the internals are plastic so I'm not sure if there up to lambretta abuse...if not I'll buy an ally one like yours.
These pics show sort of what I'm trying achieve
The position of the lid that's under the clamp may move further forward, but I've withheld from cutting it yet as I don't have a chrome disc yet to centre it on.
Cheers
Mike
