Sorry for the delay. We added it onsite for you guys. See Vespa hydraulic disc brake master cylinder support bracket only. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Exact same for both, no? I doubt anyone is going to be upset if you make a bracket so make either one if you want. We sell ours as a set because most people need the master cylinder too. We have 4 different types now. Is it really cost effective to make a new one over there??? How many people want to buy just the bracket? If very many we can always add that onsite. Cheers.

No, not stupid, just wrong. We already did that years ago for any customer who bought that one model in one period and emailed all of them. Wasn't badly designed at all, just one model was offset a little but easily fixed.

Teasy, as someone mentioned above, one old type of disc brake many years ago was off center a little. But it is easy to change that. Use this caliper plate, or this anti-dive one, and make sure there is not an extra nut inside the fork link. That gives you more room on the right side. Also, if you can machine (cut) your caliper plate a little bit yourself, email us for instructions, then no need to buy anything.

So everyone knows, our disc is STAINLESS STEEL and has been for 1-2 years, so it will NOT rust. It is included on our Vespa disc brake kits already or you can see the separate disc up close too: Cheers.

We will when that item is for sale soon. Maybe next week. You can also see our larger one posted above. But you will still have a problem: not even one person here has explained why all the European shops can make their versions (i.e. "Kopien") of items we and others sell - but not an Asian shop. One rule for everyone equally. Until you start saying the exact same thing about MBD, SCK, LTH, AF... And you are still missing the bigger point: all manufacturers complain and want a monopoly and more profit, but scooterists around the world benefit from competition: better choice, better quality, better prices. Cheers.

It really does suck if some people haven't checked around and are paying 7 or 8 times the price (!!!) for the same or lower quality. (Off-topic post above: if you mean our Die Fenster für die Disc Brake, no complaints and they fit better than Italian ones on a Lambretta inboard disc brake. With our Lambretta "Gummis für die Trittleisten", no complaints ever. Send in an email if you mean us!) ------------ Lambretta tubeless rims Original ScootRS Lambretta tubeless rim stainless steel followed by MBD/SCK prototype "copy": MBD/SCK said they can make it if they want, doesn't matter if we're unhappy about it. Original SIP alloy followed by AF Rayspeed "copy": AF Rayspeed said it was OK to copy SIP because they paid for their own tooling - as though that means anything! - and (wrongly) said SIP aren't doing one for Lambretta: "sip aren't doing one - & although from same source the std rims are an afr design-diff part /design number . afr own the tooling." Again, all "copies" by European companies. If you call it "Kopien" and "Plagiatsvorwürfe" when from Asian shops, then it is the exact same with European shops. One rule for everyone. Many more examples possible, but hopefully people can agree that all scooter companies - Asian, European, wherever - are making variations on the same parts. All manufacturers complain and want a monopoly and more profit, but scooterists around the world benefit from competition: better choice, better quality, better prices. Cheers

Sometimes price matters, but often price has nothing at all to do with quality. Look at the one chain guide above - 43 euros is crazy! The one for 5 euros is better quality! Or the clutch spider 140 euros vs 20 euros (with good reviews) both work the same in a 5-plate set up! Same for many Lambretta parts where the Italian version is overpriced and often poor quality. About service, we only listen to what real ScootRS customers say, not forum warriors attacking people. That has let us grow to 50 people at ScootRS, which would be impossible with poor parts/service. >>twisting my melon with your boring posts! Just stop reading them then? Facts and friendly discussion are always boring. Cheers.

Lambretta tall 5-6 clutch spider Foxhat (164 euros) - MBD (163 euros) - Cambridge (119 euros) - Tino Sacchi @ SCK (126 euros). Foxhat claims MBD copied him. Others say they did it before. All European companies. Probably some more. We also make a version (20 euros!): All scooter companies are making variations on the same parts. All manufacturers complain and want a monopoly and more profit, but scooterists around the world benefit from competition: better choice, better quality, better prices.

>>could you give some information about this matter of fact Huh??? Not related to me at all. ?

Lambretta top chain guide: MBD (43 Euros) - Tino Sacchi/Cambridge (17 euros) - AF @ LTH (25 euros) - SR (11 Euros): Etc. MBD says: "This MBD design is probably Mark's most copied invention, invented way back in 1987 and is probably the most copied part ever made for a Lambretta." But other people say they did it before MBD - so MBD copied them or a motorbike anyway, no? All European companies. We do a nylon version too. (5 euros.) There are more. All scooter companies are making variations on the same parts. All manufacturers complain and want a monopoly and more profit, but scooterists around the world benefit from competition: better choice, better quality, better prices.

But there is a HUGE difference between a "concern" and the facts, right? The fact is there has never been a single problem. The facts prove it is NOT dangerous, so you can't go around saying the opposite. Of course we always improve things over time. All companies should. Some of that comes through feedback, so if you emailed a suggestion, thank you. I don't usually read email myself but they all get looked at by someone and considered. We value what customers say and often make new items or changes based on suggestions from customers. The new version is a small improvement on the old one, basically with bearings all around the bracket. Doesn't change the braking really, just a bit smoother and you can always replace the bearings. Cheers! @JungSiegfried >>dass dieses "alle-deutschen-sind-nazis"-gelaber kombiniert mit "deutsche shops verkaufen auch mal kacke No one said anything about Nazis. ??? And no one said anything bad about products from German shops. ??? Bad translation? All we said is: apply one standard to everyone equally. That's it.

Wow, do you make up fake stories about German products being dangerous, too? What is with the teenagers here attacking every post by a foreigner??? Why would you post a fake story like that when there has never been any problem with it, and all the actual customers who use it post this: Fitted the anti-dive kit at the week end, works great, really improves the braking as well as the handling. It is scooter Viagra (stiffens everything up, ha, ha). If you go for the new ScootRS anti-dive one, they come with a weld on bracket AND bolt on bracket - so no need to strip the forks. I'm well chuffed with it, fitted it and on the road within 2 1/2 hours! Stopping is great and glad I chose to go anti-dive now. The anti-dive is adjustable depending where you attach the fork clamp. It is a definite and noticeable improvement on the previous version and I shall be converting my other one as soon as I can! A jolly good piece of equipment which fitted first time. Il freno a disco è l'ultimo modello di Scootrs con anti-dive e devo dire che funziona egregiamente. I can vouch for the ScootRS hydraulic with anti-dive, amazing bit of kit that has saved my life more than once!! It is just crazy that you would attack foreigners on a scooter forum and lie like that. I would hate to think more than just a few Germans think like you. It's embarrassing - I'd be very embarrassed if people acted like that in my country. Can it really be true that over here we are much friendlier and more open to the world? If so, very sad.

[fashionable nonsense deleted] The latest version in the shop of our Lambretta anti-dive disc brake:

Same 2 models. They stopped by the house to get a copy of the calendar. Wrong type of website - and girls! Both married now to guys who lived here. So maybe if you move here for a while...

>>Will it suck or blow ? In the spirit of equality: I heard SCK Phillip sucks and blows. Not sure the price, though. >>of couse you should also be allowed to present your new products here like all the other shops. You are right! Thanks. I'm sure 99% of people agree. >>But please leave out this most insulting "nationalism" bullshit! This should not be the place for those very primitive attacks! You can see yourself there is nothing in our post about that at all. It was only mentioned after and about Sukram's hypocritical attack on foreigners only. (And elsewhere when people say one thing about Europeans and the exact opposite about foreigners.) Don't you agree it is better to tell those people that this is "not the place for those very primitive attacks!" rather than complain if someone points it out? I would be very embarrassed if, every time SCK or LTH posted on a Vietnamese forum, they were attacked by a few silly Vietnamese nationalists. I would hope the Vietnamese forum moderator would tell people to grow up and not worry if someone comes from Europe, or pretend everything from Asia is better, but to apply one standard to all equally. Cheers.

>>no more marketing this way, we´re well-humoured, but you´re taking it to the max. Do you post the exact same thing when SCK, LTH, and other German shops discuss new items on a forum about new items? No? You only attack foreigners? Only on forums or...? Nationalism is silly. If not interested, just ignore it and leave everyone else in peace. Cheers.

I'm just saying there are good products made everywhere, that's all, nothing special about one country. >>Germans...traditional ethics... longterm economy... ecological reasoning. This goes against your philosophy, which is to provide products that are readily available at a low price. Huh??? You seem to be thinking of disposable plastic razors. We make scooter parts, the same way as any German or other scooter company. Our prices are just lower because we sell direct from our own factory, no middlemen. >>spend a week or two with your worst enemies What enemies??? The few nationalists on forums in any country are silly to everyone, but Germans are amongst our biggest customers in the world. We love Germany.

>> If you were to improve your reputation in central Europe, you would have to move production here as well, because high quality production and corresponding logistics are largely our domain All companies and production in the world must move to Germany or be run by Germans - but that's not just nationalism? Have you spoken to the German scooter shops about this, because a lot (most?) of their products are from Asia. Maybe only 1% are from Germany. E.g., BGM is all from Taiwan and China, right? I hope you don't include restaurant food in this as well - between you and the English, you'll give the world a heart-attack Seriously, Germany makes some great items but it is not special. Who cares what country anything comes from as long as it works, right? You see good and bad items from many countries around the world. Many items we made because the Italian parts were low quality or extremely overpriced. See these Lambretta parts. I think most people in your country agree - "Central Europe" is already our largest customer in the world Anyway, not sure why you're posting this after a photo of a working "prototype", wait and judge the final product for yourself. Innocenti-71: do you know that people have reported valve (and bigger) problems with tubeless rims from European scooter shops??? The valve has nothing to do with the quality of the rim. Do a google search yourself and you'll see valve problems reported on many vehicles. The one big report posted about our rim was actually after a UK valve was badly installed by a UK company and they tore the valve stem, so not even connected to us. Read this Review of Lambretta tubeless rims and judge yourself about quality.

As promised, we posted about our other reed-valve prototypes. >>here's another of our prototypes in the shop We get that some here only go after foreigners, but maybe others missed the word "prototype"??? No one makes molds and casts a new fan for a small volume product before making a working prototype in the shop - not even Germans The prototype works great though and the final product will be released when the fan is ready. Please cheer or boo the actual product when it is for sale and you see it, but anyone with an LD will be cheering to finally have a good reasonably priced CDI system Cheers By the way, we recently posted another prototype in the shop, an old alloy Lambretta tubeless rim we did before, shown in this Review of Lambretta tubeless rims. Also never finished or sold so be kind.

Earlier we promised an update about other reed-valve systems we have been working on. Unlike any current system - and "experts" who said it was impossible -, our large one uses a standard TS1 reed-valve - and fits under the panel! Still waiting on the rubber manifold (this is a mock-up) before we can release it. For our small one, we're just waiting on the castings but that will be soon. Vespa will be next. All will have a very reasonable price.

That's the point! Because the topic makes no sense, it is obviously a double standard. Some will attack foreigners for this CDI prototype or reed-valves or cylinders or whatever else so as to protect a friend, but everyone else will understand that making new items/variations is beneficial to scooterists around the world, and that that's why we now have the best selection of parts in the history of these old scooters. Scooterists should hope 10 more shops make reed-valve kits, not attack anyone for doing it. Cheers.

By the way, here's another of our prototypes in the shop that will come out soon and help lots of scooterists around the world. Hopefully not also a problem for anyone there who did one before. Cheers.

"Adamboy", I'm sure people who are open-minded and offended by forum pogroms have read that we have a few versions coming out, including Vespa. As released you'll see each of them. Until then, I'd ask you to ask yourself honestly how all of our different versions can all be copies of one LTH item (we don't even have). And how we copied LTH's 3.0 before LTH even came out with their 3.0. Please also think honestly about where you say the same things about Marco and his reed-valve. I just read on the SCK website that Marco's reed-valve follows on MBD's and others. So was Marco a "thieving liar", as amazombi says? MBD's new reed-valve follows on LTH's fit. Is Mark at MBD a "thieving liar" too? If not, can you think honestly about why only shops in Asia can't make new products that are similar to others, but LTH/SCK/MBD/AF/etc. can? No one has exclusive rights to make a reed-valve and, again, LTH wasn't the first and they (and other Euro shops) have made many products similar to other people's, including ours. Fact: these are the absolute best years ever in terms of what is available to scooterists and much of that is thanks to Asia! Anyone who looks at it fairly and honestly would have to agree that capitalism is working exactly as it is supposed to and benefiting scooterists around the world. As in other industries, the worst thing possible for scooterists would be nationalistic protectionism. Cheers.

His new 3.0 is news to us. Now explain how we made ours before his 3.0 came out and still copied him? And still no one explains why Asians can't make new items similar to ones before - but LTH/SCK/MBD/AF/etc. do. It's great to support a friend's shop, but not to the degree of making the Nietzsche-chicken look the most reasonable here Thanks for the discussion, even if we disagreed. And seriously amazombi, best of luck with your Ph.D. Cheers.
