Well, eventually BBK and very very seriously looking at the Ecotrons F.I. kit. I plan on sanding the frame down and re-spraying it matte black and then either getting a body wrap or getting it sprayed. I was going with matte white but after mulling over it for a bit, I think I will go silver to match my Civic.

The exhaust on it is nice, especially for stock but once it bites the dust, I have my eye on a 2Brothers exhaust from a 125cc Zuma that I think may mount right up. If that doesn't work out the NCY carbon fiber carp mouth style will get dropped on there. I am looking to re-gear it for a lower cruising speed and have the new tyres on order. Have my eye on a set of NCY adjustable rear shocks which will allow me to use the carbon fiber rear fender I have sitting on my desk.

Unless I win the lotto, this will all be a long process.

"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."

I was actually thinking about removing that entire section earlier today. I was thinking about relocating the license plate to the rear of the cvt cover and then modding the turn signals into the side next to the brake light. I saw a rear tailight that had the turn signals built into the left and right sides but I would have to revisit the photos of it to see if I actually like it.

Thanks again all for the complements!

Once again the plan has changed... I was seduced by a matte black Aprilia at Deal's Gap and had to change the paint scheme. Silver frame, matte black fairings.

I have one fairing finished, and it turned out pretty decent. Will post a pic tonight.

I am contemplating spinning the carb 180 so that is completely enclosed in the frame where nice cool air is forced in my the forward movement of the scoot. This also keeps anyone from tampering with the carb as you wont be able to get to it or the lines without removing fairings. Only down side is that I could then completely delete the rear fender and I might should have left the secondary fender full length...

1700Km so far and the only issues I have had were things I caused myself. I have been away from the bike for almost two weeks though so it has seriously hampered my painting progress. Not to mention the fact I got into a rush and realized I had not blended some spots as good as I had thought. As soon as the paint dried, I saw the disaster... I have two fairings now that have to be completely re-sanded along with the 2-3 I hadn't sanded at all yet.

This makes me want one even more. I say Black out that front fender too and, I still vote deleting the rear all together. Move the blinkers up and That's the best lookin scoot ever!!!!!

Now if we could figure out how to do HUB LESS rims ;D ;D

[Bong]

I took a second look at that front fender. Noticed it has a black stripe. Black out the red and do the silver on that stripe. Just an idea

[13lky2]

I haven't tackled the front fender yet because it requires the wheel/tyre to be removed. Hopefully Saturday I will have enough downtime to take care of business.

I had a neighbor I had never met walk over and tell me how much he liked the black last night. We got to talking and he is thinking about buying a scoot.

Project is on hold. I was taken out by a cage and will be unable to ride/wrench for at least a month.

[Bong]

Are you OK? What happened??? Hope it's not serious!!! The project can wait, Just get yourself together And stay safe!!!

Broken clavicle, all my riding gear is hosed except my boots, couple of lacerations. The bike has a bent left handlebar, road rash on 3 of the fairings and the cvt cover is toast. Trying to get it home without having to pay to get it towed again.
