    I remember years back a friend saying they didn't like the idea of rubber bag suspension. It was great fun to point out that the heavily loaded HGV in front had bags.......

    Great job, you need to cap the end of the frame where it was cut and any open tubes to stop them rusting from the inside out. Will also increase strength and look neater.

    Won’t a decent set of beefy dampers effectively become a stop for the ride height (when they max out) instead of (or as well as) making a bump stop? - motorcycle shocks with the spring removed?

    Would the required air pressure reduce if the suspension doohickey was mounted more towards the rear of the scooter. (I'm not an engineer, just asking the question)

    Hi. It might help. But those airbags are designed to run at 70 to 100 psi, and the one I have would normally hold up a 2 ton car etc (the Lambretta loop weighs relatively nothing without me sat on it. So I think I either need a smaller airbag, or limit the amount the loop can go up. Cheers!
