Just gotta set of forks for an MZ (ETZ) off Ebay for 10p!
Heh. Got the Yokes (Complete set, Brand new old stock too) for a fiver a couple of days ago as well.
If anyone happens across a very cheap (very being the operative word) Yamaha RD 50 / 80 or RXS 100 tank then let me know! Im currently building something and am in need of one.
Needs to have the cap, tap and key though
Im watching a couple of 'em on Ebay at the moment, but theyre a bit too expensive for what I want

You building up an ETZ then or are they for something else ?

Im creating something. I have a chopped <original rare italian> Lambretta frame, ETZ forks and yoke, A Lambretta Engine and Transmission as well as a few small nuts and bolts from a Ducati 748, with the possibility ofa DT125 engine coming as well
Ive already upset quite a few purists on the scooter scene when I asked for some clarity on frame numbers and Ive not even built it up yet.

Im more scared of the Ducatisti getting bent out of shape over the 748 bolts. Fausto
You have the engine and frame? They for sale? I have a mate who'd be capable of cobbling them together for me into something...

might be K - I'll discuss it with Ancient, it's a shared 'resource' just now, I have one in working order and so does he - the one in bits (aka yellow peril) has been spares donor for the other two.
V5 etc etc all in order and it's sorned

talking V5's - it was originally listed as an "Iveco Daily 3ton bicycle 180cc"
I did get them to change that

Okies! Keep me informed Snappy!!
Bagheera will hopefully look a bit like this..

But with MZ forks, clipons, and god knows what on the back end. If I can get the engine I want and get it to fit, the lambretta bits as far as the engine and transmission go, will be binned and I'll hard tail a motorcycle rear end on. A bit of a YambrettZ, if you like.
The Ducati thing looks great. Like a steroided up Minimoto!

nod love it but not for me - that unusual front suspension is 'interesting' on it as a scoot - I'd guess you could lose ya teeth easy with clip on's

Swamp thing certainly has character.
I like the low profile rear tyre.

You mean to say you've wrecked that red Lambo to build some kack machine!!!!!!!
You Sir are Bonkers

No.. That 'Red Lambo' is an Italian Vespa... a non indicator P200e which i wouldnt dream of chopping..errm..apart from the bits I have already..
Ive got a 1964 Lambretta Li frame that I bought chopped already

Which was definately a classic and shouldnt have been chopped.. but oh well, it's a scooter..
