Modern Vespa

Just brought it on Wednesday evening. Ad was online only a few minutes before I call the seller. 30 minutes later I was in front of the scooter. In fact it's not a vespa but a lml star deluxe 125.
The bike is familiar in Paris, it's one of a famous dispatch rider company that closed few month ago.

This lml was in service since 2006 and has tons of kilometers under the wheel.

Mudguard is crashed, horn cast broken, speedo drive missing.

Engine was running but gearboxwas K.O.

and surprises !

My plan is to bring it back to the initial style. Budget allowed : under low.

The seller has removed some accessories and make the sell easier : Screen, top box, single saddle.

What I already done :

- changed cruciform in the frame, the previous one was a shortened version




- dropped the fork to replace bearings and put a used mudguard, and fix speedometer

congratz on the purchase mate. i do like the colour

good luck on the dispatch and cheer mate

Thank you. Color is the yellow sulfur.

Some body body parts were in poor condition, so I decided to swap them for new and get them painted.



I add to re-attach the alloy top box on the rear short rack. I only kept 2 orginal holes, and to secure added 2 extra holes with 4 inox bolts, large inox washer and 16mm P clamps with a wood board between.



A friend of mine will do the work on the fiber windscreen that is broken.

Back in Paris streets, just fixed a few things (Rear right turn signal was not blinking due to poor connection, crash bar was a bit tight due to fall)



The front single seat is quite confortable and also good looking



Top box is so huge, that full large shopping bag drop inside with still room left. (Hum, I'll clean the bottom of cover)



Windscreen is coming.

A funny anecdote, I was asked more in the last two days for directions in Paris than in a whole year. Messenger scooter = google map inside driver head

Working on windscreen :

Opened cracks



Back strenghened


Front polyester resin filling


Still need work.

I liked how it looks. Congratz man!

I have a french friend travelling the world with a LML 4 stroke right now.

1st pass, far from perfect

Now fitted



Look ok from far but you should not look too close
