Took the plunge and bought a series 3 basket case last week.Although I have had bikes foe the last 40 years this is my first lambretta since I sold my GT200 in 1975 FVT22D if she is still out there . Had the itch for a while and now thinking what have I done???
Looking forward to the challenge and riding one again.My first question is where to buy the fork compression tool ?
Getting stuff ready for the powder coaters at the mo
Thanks

Hi Gazzar, If its a Gp with the loose ball, then you can struggle the fork links in without a spring compressor.If you have time you can knock up something like this
