Its such a nice looking little classic that if it were mine I would leave it alone. Then again, what is the fun in that?

Welcome to the forum, I love your scoot.
For looks and practicality, how 'bout a matching top box?

SWEET SCOOT!
Old school all the way... right down to the paint, bars, mirrors and tan seat. Only cosmetic mods I'd make might be whitewalls, red wheels and maybe a vintage-style exhaust.
Of course, anything internal that will provide a little more giddyup is always fun too!
This bike just exudes "fifties" Vespa/Lambretta. Gotta love it! Even has a "hood ornament" on the front fender! Guess I'd just HAVE to get an LED light in that thing somehow... or replace with a genuine fifties illuminated ornament like the old Pontiac Indian Chief, OR one of the vintage lighted baubles from J.C. Whitney or Honest Charley from the fifties...
Somehow, a Mack "Bulldog" with lighted eyes, or a bull, naked lady, swan, etc. that lights up just fits this marvelous tribute to the past... Just the right ornament might be something fun to dig for at any car swap meet!
Ride safe,
Leo in Texas

Great looking scooter, looks like a Honda Metro but probably a 1/4 the price!

Puddle Jumper, That is a nice looking scoot, I also like the color combo on it. Its a Classic looking scoot I would not mod it except for maybe if they have Chrome stuff for it. Other than that just stick a V8 in there that will wake everyone up Alleyoop

Sorry to report but I have in previous post but some s.o.b. stole it from me and I've had to get a new scoot. its a tank knock-off but I want to refit the new one with some sort of 50's style mod. I like the bulldog idea if my memory serves me right my brother(rest his soul) had a "MAC" bulldog on the hood of his tractor and I would polish it every time he'd come home from taking a load some were's. The lights in his eye's I wonder if that could be done?? maybe a dremel to cut the eye's and some type of LED and run the wire direct with a fuse and switch? I've seen one's for trailor hitches maybe buy one take it apart and use the inners for the dog? any suggestions are welcome

Beautiful scooter! I'd definitely go for whitewalls, a rear mud flap, and a wicker basket trunk on the rear rack. Have you named it yet?

It's too bad it got swiped. It looks like the one I bought to play with. And no, I didn't name this one either, Scooterchick, although sometimes when I pull it out of the garage to ride I say, "Here comes the Znen." A friend of mine says it looks "Charming" but I can't bring myself to call it that.
