The bolts through the fork pivots are temporary, I take it?


I still don't get what's occurring with those fork link centres.... :?

Absolutely stunning, but I am concerned that the spot lights will vibrate up and down quite a bit due to the brackets themselves flexing as well as moving in relation to the legshields and could result in the back of the spots hitting the legshields :shock:

Really? They look eccentric to me & like forged HT bolt heads rather than the gorgeous bling dripping from some other parts...

Just zoomed in on those and yes i think youre right. On the S1 and 2's these had a thread for a grease nipple and it looks as though these have been replaced with a bolt and washer. Perhaps JBW34 can confirm..

Hi guys,
The fork links are Casa Lambretta remade ones.
On the original Li125 forklinks, I couldn't use the additionnal dampers.
And yes, you're right : the bolts on the Falbo fork boots are temporary.
The embellishers are too tight, they don't fit perfectly the bottom of the fork, so the grease nipples are not long enough to reach the thread.
I have to find a solution to solve this problem.
You see every details !!!
Cheers.

Phew!

Long nipples (hmmm...) do exist but you may have to convert from imperial to metric. This link might help the thought process:

I've added the rear jug handles too. I'm waiting for the front ones.

And the footboard extensions to be repaired. Then, I will polish and paint them.
