    Basically taking my bike for MOT soon. Its a Gilera Runner SP50.

    Need some advice about the forks i have on them at the moment, as on the R/H side the lug snapped off so im currently holding the mudguard in with CABLE TIES :confused:cratch: but the L/H side is good to go.

    You should go to a different mot place then. Shouldn't pass without a front muddy on pretty much all scooters apart from a typhoon.

    Can use a universal headlight bracket for a streetfighter as long as it's the correct I/D. Or just get a local welder to weld a lug on,must be cheaper and less hassel than buying and fitting another set of forks,that's if you can find a decent pair.

    did you not get any runner 50 forks with it then

    i would say thats ok as it is but get a few more cable ties so the mudguard doesnt drop on to the wheel
