Well the scoot is here and I have already stripped it 3 times to the frame. Today the re-coloring process began. I originally ordered white but the factory has quit making white fairings... So after being seduced by the 2011 Hyabusa paint scheme, I have decided to redo the fairings in white or white /w black or gold pearl. The frame I am epoxy coating satin black.

A quick couple of pics of what I did yesterday and today before re-assembly. Will get more pics of everything installed tomorrow if the weather holds out.
Original grills.


New grills.

Give the man a cookie! ;D

K&N filter and NCY aluminum intake.



Stripped all the decals except for the ones they so graciously clear coated over...



All the frame brackets have been painted with John Deere Blitz Black, the footpegs driver and passenger were treated with the same paint.
All the bulbs except for the running lights and the license light have been replaced with leds. Still trying to work out what to do with the headlight bulbs.

I believe it is stock and it sounds pretty good too. Check out the video here:

You are correct, that is the stock exhaust. It sounds nice and not half bad looking, wish it were a CF can but it does the job.

First thing you need to do is chop that secondary fender and just use the one over the wheel.I did that on my Bashan and it improved the looks 100%. Either way that is a very nice ride.

Second fender as in the ridiculously long one off of the tail? I have been considering cutting it off just shy of the tag mounting area. Thanks for the compliments also!

Yep, I cut mine off just below the license plate bracket.

Holly WoweeWowWow that is awsome!!!!! I thought it was a street bike not a scooter. I think I just found my next scoot ;D

Latest pic after trimming the rear license plate fender and modifying the real fender.



Have new tyres on order as the J speed rating on these are making me nervous.

That is one very nice scoot. I would delete that fender altogether and move the blinkers up into the body. Or use a bracket to mount the License plate and blinkers just under the Tail light. Just my opinion but again I say That is a Badd A$$$ Scoot!!!!!

What else do you plan on doing to it???
