They have a reputation of questionable quality.you may wanna check out SIP scooter shop alot of hard to find pieces. Hodge speed orders from them once a week and saves you all the import customs hassles.

I ordered some from sip,,, the stuff supplied was nice ,,, and the parts ordered from rs should be in end of this week,,, we'll see,, from their site all the stuff looks top notch,, and they also had side by side comparisons of competitors parts and the rs parts were completely superior,,, so unless they are selling bait and switch I think I made the right choice,,, but I have been wrong before and this won't be the last time unfortunately if I get stiffed

I also have had good luck with SIP. Only thing is their minimum order if you don't go through Hodges. But if you meet that minimum then a++ with Fed Ex shipping. Scooter Works is ok. I have had good luck dealing with Scooter Mercato in GA aswell for small stuff. It was where I ordered my complete engine bolt kit for the tx200 engine build project last year.

Mercarto does have some great prices especially on tire,wheel packages,but is usually out of stock on the cool stuff. I did get a screaming deal from him on cowl and front mud guard protectors,like $75 for both of them.

Got the front fender ornament on This morning,,, stainless instead of the plastic and tomorrow early am before it gets 112 the rear light from outer space gets mothballed in favor of a 180ss rear light that's easily 1/2 the size,,,

The rear light went on quickly and cleanly and the grips from the px series made all the difference in the world as far as shifting and the general overall feel of the scoot,,,, pics soon,,, then once broken in full service ,,pinasco pipe and carb and installation of the new tubeless rims with zippys. ,,, oh and a EBC floating disc up front and full fuel line change to clear so I know what's going on if I have a fuel related issue

Did the light cover the footprint of the old light? I have an older Stella and have been contemplating this light swap for a while but had a concern of it covering the old footprint. I did get rid rid of the ugly rubber back bumper but really need to dump the tail light.

It did not cover where the original was it's half the size,,, there were no marks from the original so it was an easy conversion |

Man I have to tell you the originals weight was more than the replacement just from the sheer mass of the thing,, even tho the new one is more than half metal,,, thanks to Rich for getting that pic up on the board,,, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to that stuff but I do have to learn it
