Front forks

Postby Charliebubble47 » Tue Sep 16, 2014 9:10 pm

Hi all

Quick question
Is there a difference in he overall length of the forks between models, say li and gp

And while I'm on is there a difference in length for the handlebar control rods between models

If any one has the dims for both q's that would be grand

Thanks
CB

Hi CB
What model do you have??
GP forks are shorter on the stem the series 3
Early LI control rods are longer than later series 3 ones
310 mm I think as opposed to 295 in later ones
I may have those sizes completely wrong but I got caught out when changing headsets recently so know for a fact there are 2 lengths
Hope this helps

Hi
I have a serveta Lynx year 83 with a none chrome ring frame
So what type of forks should a have, bought the scoot as a box of bits and thought everything fitted ha ha
The head set for the controls is the sx type, ten Bob bit type, I bought the a series three set but it seems a bit big had the file on it to make it fit, just seems a bit excessive. Everyone says there's nowt standard on a lambretta :D :D

I don't know many things about Lynx models.
I think that instead of brackets they have the long studs to accommodate the fatter Spanish dampers.

I remember the electrics,too complicated.

There was a gap at the headset and the horncast.
