Welcome to the Scooter Vista range of Lambretta Handlebar and Fork Parts for LI, SX, TV, DL and GP models.

Whether you're restoring a classic Lambretta, rebuilding the front end, replacing worn headset components or upgrading the suspension, we stock a wide range of Lambretta handlebar, headset, steering and fork parts.

Our range covers popular Lambretta models including:

• Lambretta LI
• Lambretta LI Special
• Lambretta TV
• Lambretta SX
• Lambretta DL
• Lambretta GP
• Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 models where applicable

From small replacement bushes, shims and control rollers to complete fork rebuild components, springs and dampers, our range is designed to help with everything from routine servicing to a complete Lambretta restoration.

Always check the exact model, series and fork type before ordering, as Lambretta handlebar and fork components can vary between models and specifications.

Lambretta Handlebar & Headset Parts

The Lambretta headset contains many of the components needed to control the scooter.

Depending on the model, these can include:

• Headset top and bottom
• Headset clamp
• Headset bushes
• Headset shims
• Gear change components
• Throttle components
• Gear rollers
• Throttle rollers
• Control rods
• Control rod bushes
• Handlebar grips
• Brake and clutch levers
• Lever pivot bolts
• Switch housings
• Headset gaskets
• Speedometer components
• Headset fixings

Many of these parts are relatively small, but worn bushes, rollers and shims can make a noticeable difference to how the controls feel.

Lambretta Headset Bushes & Shims

The headset control mechanism uses bushes and shims to support the throttle and gear control components.

Over time, these parts can become worn, resulting in:

• Excessive movement
• Loose controls
• Stiff operation
• Poor gear selection
• Throttle play
• Noisy controls

A complete headset bush and shim kit can be an excellent option when rebuilding a Series 3 headset.

Specialist rebuild kits are available covering LI Series 3, LI Special, TV, SX and GP applications, with components including control bushes, shims, washers and collars.

Lambretta Gear Change Parts

The gear change mechanism is operated from the left-hand side of the headset.

Scooter Vista stocks a range of Lambretta gear change and headset components, including:

• Gear rollers
• Gear wheels
• Gear collars
• Gear bushes
• Gear control rods
• Shims
• Washers
• Bushes
• Gear housings

Worn gear change components can contribute to excessive movement in the gear selector and make gear selection feel less precise.

When rebuilding a headset, inspect all the moving components rather than replacing just one worn part.

Lambretta Throttle Parts

The throttle mechanism connects the twistgrip to the carburettor through the throttle control system.

Depending on the model and headset arrangement, components can include:

• Throttle roller
• Throttle wheel
• Throttle sleeve
• Throttle rod
• Throttle bushes
• Throttle shims
• Throttle washers
• Throttle return spring

Scooter Vista stocks replacement throttle components for suitable Lambretta applications.

Brass and nylon throttle rollers are available for different Series 3 applications, while specialist parts suppliers also list different throttle sleeves and related components for early and later arrangements.

Lambretta Handlebar Rollers

The gear and throttle rollers are small but important components within the headset.

Worn rollers can cause:

• Excessive throttle play
• Loose gear controls
• Stiff operation
• Poor cable movement
• Unwanted movement in the headset controls

When rebuilding an older Lambretta, it is worth checking the condition of the rollers, bushes and control shafts at the same time.

Lambretta Handlebar Grips

Replacement Lambretta handlebar grips are available for different models and periods.

The correct grips can make a significant difference to the finished appearance of a restoration.

When choosing grips, consider:

• Lambretta model
• Series
• Original style
• Grip length
• Control arrangement
• Colour
• Material

Some replacement grips are designed to fit multiple Series 3 models, while others reproduce specific original styles.

Lambretta Brake & Clutch Levers

The brake and clutch levers are operated directly from the headset.

A worn lever or pivot can result in excessive movement and can make the controls feel loose.

When inspecting the levers, check:

• Lever condition
• Pivot bolt
• Pivot nut
• Star washer
• Lever hole
• Lever housing
• Cable connection

Replacement lever pivot bolt sets are available to restore the correct fit and appearance.

Lambretta Switch Housings

The switch housings contain the electrical switches used to operate various functions on the scooter.

Different Lambretta models use different headset and switch housing designs.

Replacement switch housings are available for applications including LI Special, TV, SX and GP Series 3 models.

Always check the housing matches your headset and switch arrangement before ordering.

Lambretta Headset Gaskets

Headset gaskets are fitted between the headset components and can help reduce vibration.

They are particularly relevant during a restoration where the original gaskets may have deteriorated or been removed during previous work.

Replacement Series 3 headset upper gaskets are available for LI Series 3, LI Special, TV, SX and GP applications.

Replacing missing or damaged headset gaskets can help produce a better finished restoration.

Lambretta Forks

The fork assembly supports the front wheel and controls the steering of the scooter.

The fork assembly can include:

• Fork tubes
• Fork links
• Fork rods
• Fork springs
• Fork buffers
• Fork guides
• Fork link bushes
• Fork link bolts
• Washers
• Nuts
• Steering bearings
• Steering races
• Dampers
• Damper brackets

When rebuilding an older Lambretta fork, inspect all of these components for wear.

Lambretta Fork Link Parts

Fork links are an important part of the Lambretta front suspension system.

Depending on the model and specification, the fork can use different link arrangements.

Scooter Vista stocks Lambretta fork link components and rebuild parts for suitable applications.

A fork rebuild kit can include components such as:

• Fork link bushes
• Inner bushes
• Outer bushes
• Fork rods
• Springs
• Top stops
• Bolts
• Washers
• Nuts
• Cup washers
• Fork buffers

Specialist rebuild kits are available for LI, TV and SX drum-link and disc-link applications.

Lambretta Fork Springs

The fork springs control part of the front suspension movement.

Old springs can become tired or may have been replaced previously with incorrect components.

Scooter Vista stocks standard and performance Lambretta fork springs for suitable applications.

Progressive fork springs can provide different suspension characteristics from standard springs and are a popular option for riders looking to improve the front-end feel of their scooter.

When rebuilding the fork, inspect the springs for damage, corrosion and correct specification.

Lambretta Fork Dampers

Front dampers can be fitted to suitable Lambretta fork arrangements to control suspension movement.

Modern replacement dampers are available for a number of classic Lambretta applications.

When replacing dampers, check:

• Fork type
• Fork link arrangement
• Damper mounting
• Damper length
• Bushes
• Brackets where required

Some fork links are specifically manufactured with the additional thread required to mount dampers without separate brackets.

Lambretta Fork Damper Brackets

Depending on the fork and damper arrangement, a separate bracket may be required.

This is particularly important when upgrading or changing the front suspension from an original specification.

Always check whether the damper you're fitting requires:

• Original bracket
• Replacement bracket
• Fork links with integrated damper mounting
• Specific fixing hardware

Do not assume that every Lambretta damper will mount directly to every fork link.

Lambretta Fork Buffers

Fork buffers help control the movement of the front suspension and prevent excessive travel.

Old rubber buffers can become:

• Hard
• Cracked
• Split
• Deformed
• Missing

During a fork rebuild, inspect the upper and lower buffers and replace damaged components.

Complete fork rebuild kits can include both top and bottom buffers along with the required fixing hardware.

Lambretta Fork Rods

Fork piston rods form part of the front suspension mechanism.

The correct fork rod must match the fork and link arrangement.

Replacement rods are available for suitable LI, TV and SX applications, including reproductions made to original specifications.

When rebuilding a fork, inspect the rods for:

• Wear
• Damage
• Corrosion
• Incorrect previous repairs
• Bent sections
• Worn ends

Lambretta Steering Bearings

The steering bearings allow the forks and headset to turn smoothly within the frame.

Worn steering bearings can cause:

• Notchy steering
• Excessive play
• Heavy steering
• Poor handling
• Movement at the headset

During a restoration, inspect the steering bearings and races carefully.

If the steering feels notchy or has excessive play, the bearings and races should be investigated before the scooter is returned to the road.

Lambretta Steering Cones & Races

The steering bearing assembly uses cones and races that need to be correctly matched and adjusted.

Scooter Vista stocks suitable Lambretta steering bearing, cone and race components for restoration and replacement.

When replacing steering bearings, inspect the corresponding races for pitting or damage.

Installing new bearings against badly worn races can result in poor steering feel and premature wear.

Lambretta Fork Rebuild Kits

If the front end is being completely rebuilt, a Lambretta fork rebuild kit can be a convenient way of replacing multiple worn components at once.

Depending on the kit, this can include:

• Fork link bushes
• Fork rods
• Springs
• Top stops
• Buffers
• Bolts
• Washers
• Nuts
• Cup washers

Complete kits are available for different fork arrangements and models.

Before ordering, check whether your scooter uses drum links or disc links.

Lambretta Handlebar & Fork Restoration

The handlebar and fork assembly is an important area to inspect during a Lambretta restoration.

Rather than simply cleaning and reusing everything, inspect each component for wear.

Pay particular attention to:

• Steering bearings
• Fork link bushes
• Fork rods
• Fork springs
• Fork buffers
• Dampers
• Handlebar bushes
• Gear rollers
• Throttle rollers
• Control rods
• Levers
• Switch housings

Small amounts of wear across several components can add up to a noticeable amount of movement in the finished scooter.

Lambretta Front-End Upgrades

The front end of a Lambretta can also be upgraded depending on how the scooter will be used.

Possible upgrades include:

• Progressive fork springs
• Replacement dampers
• Improved fork bushes
• New steering bearings
• Performance front suspension components
• Improved brake components
• Modern electrical equipment

For a standard restoration, original-style replacement parts may be preferred.

For a performance or touring scooter, upgraded suspension components can provide different handling characteristics.

Choosing the Correct Lambretta Handlebar & Fork Parts

Before ordering, check:

Lambretta model
Series
Engine/model specification
Year where relevant
Headset type
Fork type
Drum or disc links
Original or upgraded suspension
Damper arrangement
Control type

This is especially important when buying fork components, as parts can vary between different Lambretta front-end arrangements.
