Start of my Scomadi personalisation

A few small cracks in the frame loop on my Scomadi have prompted my thoughts towards getting them sorted and coming up with a personal theme for my Scooter.
I've a few ideas floating around and a panel colour change is the starting point.
I'll upload more short clips each time I change or update the scooter and take it forwards with my OCS / QUAD theme
Let me know what you think of the colour choice

You need some rubber washers under the rack ,give it a bit of movement

Hi m8 after 2 years of take it off put it on with my old Scomadi and a couple of others in our club The easy way is undo in any order you like but to refit its front first then rear as to line up the panel with the frame it helps a lot if you can push the rear panel forward a tad and just push the bolt right in then do the middle crew last as that is the week point and can snap the small lug of the back if not totally in like don't ask how I know 😉

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, what exhaust have you fitted ? It looks good, was thinking of doing the same to my TL200 mainly for the look rather than performance enhancement.

Cool video! Thanks for sharing on YT!
I wouldn’t use an RA horn grill maybe for religious reasons ;)
Keep personalizing 👍

[@themodernscooterist]

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

The screws would have gone in easier if you just put them all in loosely for a start, then only tighten them when everything is properly lined up.

[@themodernscooterist]

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.

[@themodernscooterist]

@@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

I'm in need of a LH side panel green and white. . .do you know of any anywhere ??

[@themodernscooterist]

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

[@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse]

Ooh no, buy a TT, steel panels.
