Front End

Whilst still not fit enough to race properly I have managed to do some work on the bike.

Stage 6 from Italy are well known for their high quality auto scooter parts and at last they seem to be moving into the smallframe vespa world with the introduction of a Pk version  of their highly regarded R/T front shock absorber.

This unit has adjustment for high and low speed compression damping, rebound as well as preload. It fitted quite easily although I made some modifications to lower the front slightly and an option is there is the future to lower further if need be.

Looks rather nice on the bike I think! 🙂

I would like to thank Marco at LTH for his help and supplying me the damper.
