Hi, I purchased the new screen and spare screen blade through VEuk, they produce a wide range of screens for most scooters. Here's a link to their site ve-uk.com/

Just around the corner then, lol

Most likely the case

Hi Dean, the plug is available through Tasso parts, this should be the link www.tassoparts.co.uk/cgi-bin/store.pl?action=link&sku=TS029&catafile=&table=&uid=85

@@themodernscooterist That is great, thanks.

Thanks for the advice, to be honest I just think these aftermarket panels are not quite perfect, not only is it difficult to get the fixing bolts to align the indicators don't sit as flush as they do the original panels. I'm guessing that the panels produced as spairs aren't quite as well made to the tolerances required

Hi, I purchased my spare panels through Modern Scooters so they may be worth a try or keep looking on eBay as a panels do come up on there every now and again

Thanks, the PM Tuning exhaust was on it when I purchased it so can't comment on prior performance. It'll top out around 60ish on the flat but sits comfortably at 50 to 55.

Thanks very much

Thanks for the comment, agreed, however the new panels definitely don't line up as well as the original red panels. I'm currently having the original panels worked on and they may make a return, watch this space

@@themodernscooterist Copy panels have always been a bit of an issue. I spent many years in the motor trade and the old replacement copy panels never fit well without making some modifications. I do like the look of these modern retro scooters though. It makes me want to get a Lambretta again., or even a Scomodi or Royal Alloy.

@@Richard56er the Scomadi has definitely been a good choice for me, looks more like a Lambretta than the new Lambrettas but has the modern engine and electrics which so far has been reliable. After so many years away from scooters and up until a few weeks ago no garage to store it in, the modern retro TL has been just what I needed. One day a classic will join it

Thanks, much appreciate the comment. I do feel a flyscreen certainly adds a MOD feel to anyone looking for a more retro look scooter, what colour screen have you gone for on your scoot?

@@themodernscooterist my Scomadi is black so I went for a black one should be here weekend passed me CBT yesterday I'm a old man who went on a few runs in the early 80s

@@TheFatboy1964 nice, should look good 👍 Same here, my first scoot was a PK50 when I was 16 then got sidetracked by cars and life, always promised myself another scoot and finally got the Scomadi last year at the age of 53 😁

im thinking about getting a SLUK one , very racey ......... bit dear at 100 quid tho ...... got a TL 200 with a pm tuning 205 stage 6 motor. its a rocket . but heard the screen gives up to 5mph on top end ........ nice bikes the scomadi , but a pain for spares ...... mad when i can get anything for my 60 yr old lambretta, but next to nothing for a 4 year bike .

Thanks fella, not sure if the bypass plug is suitable for the TT, as far as I'm aware it was made to suit the early TL's that were suffering with flickering / failing headlights due to the original light box. I think later TL's had a different light box and don't suffer the same issue as the earlier models, so I think the TT will probably be the same as the later TL's. It's probably best to contact Adam at TASSOPARTS.CO.UK and asking his advice.

Many thanks for the kind comments, pleased my video was helpful. Amazing that a plug costing less than £3.00 resolves such a frustrating issue with the early TL's

Thanks for the comment on the video, pleased it's at least helped someone out, it's frustrated me for long enough.

@@themodernscooterist Hi again....is there any chance you can post the photos of how to do bypass the wires?

@@nickj3676 I didn't bypass the wires myself as I fitted the bypass plug, it seemed silly to go pulling the existing plug apart to join the wires when the Tasso plug is less than £3.00 and just plugs straight in. If you're looking at doing the wire splice without using the plug then according to Dave at Retrotech Racing you need to remove the two Blue / Black wires and join those together and then do the same with the White / Black wires. Hope that helps

@@themodernscooterist Hi Thanks for getting back to me. Very helpful info. Cheers!

Yes, I'm really pleased it's resolved my headlight woes. I'm hoping I can get the wife to film me riding it in the dark to see how much brighter it actually is. I'll certainly update the channel once I have the footage 👍

I sourced all of the mint green parts from Modern Scooters, really impressed with how quickly they sent them out :-)

Yes bought a whole set of bodywork off them when I bought a Cat n tl125. Darren bought all of the remaining TL stock from Frank Sanderson a couple of years ago now.

@@bruceduff1 thanks for the information, Modern Scooters and Retro Tech certainly seem to be the main sources of parts and maintenance information for the TL's

Thanks for commenting 🙏🏻, I agree about the RA horn grill but I'm finding a genuine Scomadi one very hard to locate! To be honest MotoGB haven't responded to my issue with the wrong RA grill so it looks like I'll stay on the hunt for a while
