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.

will it be something like this eh? eh? eh? :smt002 Image

I do have the frame and engine of one of these - it was 'altered' in an unforseen meeting with the underside of a mundeo :smt010 and all the plstics are a little errm scratched? :smt009

Im more scared of the Ducatisti getting bent out of shape over the 748 bolts. Fausto :smt005 :smt002

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... :smt002

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" :smt107 :smt042

I did get them to change that :smt014

Okies! Keep me informed Snappy!! :smt001

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

You Sir are Bonkers :smt005 :smt018

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 :smt002 Which was definately a classic and shouldnt have been chopped.. but oh well, it's a scooter.. :smt002
