Ok I named the project Murphy Scooter because of my last name. I will build on the project overtime so I will keep adding onto this thread for years. I know I can buy another one of these things dirt cheap and prob will in the future so I keep the builds cheap. I dont dress up stuff unless I have too. Added a Filter too my stock intake, stickers, new tires and new exhaust (alot of cutting pipes custom work for exhaust) so far. I will be getting new handlebars and mirrors soon. Then I will go for Xenon Lights in the front in a month. I will post VIDEOS and PICTURES but for now I will post the pics. I am really excited about this ;D so please show me some love      |

The exhaust is new just put it on today like I said above and it smells really bad no black exhaust or any exhaust color smoke coming out.
Any Ideas?

The smell is from the new exhaust the packing they used to wrap the steel core and that will go away after it burn the covering on the material.
As for putting on stickers I personally do not like advertizeing stickers all over the place takes away from the good looks of the body(no love from me there..HAHA). Now some nice pinstriping then your getting COOL.

The skull sticker reads "And I looked and behold a pale horse and his name that sat on him was death and hell followed with him" in case you cant see it.  Pinstriping it Might do but its just adding onto things I call wasting money love to be cheap maybe in the future. |

Can you tell me how you installed and removed your old grips, i am thinking of doing the same. Was it hard to get the throttle grip off?

Nope use a razor blade and cut the grips. Make sure not to cut the white plastic throttle response. Then soap up the grips inside and put them on. You need alittle muscle thats it.

I installed my GPS on my scooter using the handle bar! I moved over the brake and cylinder to the right making sure it did not fall off downward. I then had to saw off the plastic shield to make it fit back over like stock . The hand break seems alittle different when squeezed now on the left side because the pipe curves a bit on the handlebar. The mirrors are smaller and alot more sleek then stock scooter mirrors and they were also installed. |
