Brigzy 1,298 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have a 1972 Lambretta Li150 It`s modified, a lot. 190 cast barrel kit, reed valved, using a 30mil Dellorto. Piston, conrod and rings from an RD350 YPVS. PM tuning expansion Cut, welded race crank and HD racing clutch. GT gearbox. Puts out 25 BHP, in an Italian shopping moped on 10 inch wheels ! lol. Goes like a crosser. Confuses feck out of bikes at the lights, They keep looking round for the Race 2 stroke, but all they see is me ! hahaha usually my rear light ! lol. Now that's what 2 stokes are for. I hate 2 stroke bikes , fekin shaking rattling nightmares :laugh: When I win the lotto, I'll get Cambridge Lambrettas to restore me a 63 LI 150 Slimstyle, my first scooter , and maybe a TV 175 or GT 200, the ones I dreamt of having !!9' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I owned an original brit reg GT 200 Kept it unrestored, in the kitchen for years, the holy grail of Lambretta. Bought the series 2 TV175 ridgeback, and lost all interest in the ser 3. sold it. Must have been mental ! haha, but hey, I found it in a barn, everyones dream to do that, find a priceless Lammy in a barn somewhere ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brigzy 1,298 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I "customised " the LI by putting GP side panels and SX mudguard and Ancilloti seat on in, but in retrospect, it spoiled it. Back in the late 60's the only engine mods were a 200cc rebore an Amal concentric carb, 16 tooth crank sprocket, exta clutch plate and an Ancilloti exhaust. Made it one of the fastest Lambrettas around at the time; oh, the nostalgia !!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brigzy 1,298 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Rake, the second pic looks like an LI , but it has shocks on the forks, is it an early TV or have the shocks been added? Edited March 27, 2014 by Brigzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The red and white LI has a hydraulic front brake conversion using a suzuki master cylinder. Small 2 pot calliper and floating disc grafted to the hub. The forks were modified, adding shock mounts to take the TV shocks, simply changed the links as well and on they went. Good innit ? lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
