I am right in thinking px levers fit S2 ?

I want something with a decent size ball end and am struggling to find any.

I have one in the garage so will try tonight

I haven't tried it but I do recall seeing a post from Jason Frost saying that they did.

I fitted some dog leg PX ones and they fit fine. I had to trim the edges of the levers as they were slightly fatter than the handlebar casting. the bolt position and size are identical and of course they have a flat join to the handlebar so will not fit a series 3. As with everything else a bit of fettling required but easier than fitting some Lambretta parts.

That's handy to know as finding out with my clutch cable stretching T5, I want to put adjustables on my lever sets although I have been told that Lambretta mechanics are a little easier on the cables than Vespas but being a noob I cannot say if this is the case but I do dislike sloppy cables.

they defiantly do - tried one yesterday

I passed chiselspeed yesterday and picked up a good set of s2 levers - so I could but the anti rattle caps/springs - which the vespa ones dont have.

I've decided my small hands are struggling too much to cope with a standard S2 clutch lever. I have these type on my Vespa Rally, where I had the same problem with the original levers:

I presuming they'll reduce the reach for my small paws but will they pull in the clutch that little bit further?

These are the PX ones I got. They were originally bright red scooter emporium ones that I stripped the paint off only to find the paint was hiding the pretty rough sand casting. They polished up OK once the flash joins were removed with a file. They are a good fit and I have no problem with the clutch as the bighting point seems to be the same in the middle of the stroke with normal 2-3 mm free travel at the start. No more pain at the base of my thumb with the leaver a good 1 inch closer than a standard lever

Thanks very much for taking the time to post that, MKM. Much appreciated. I'll definitely get one now.
