So I enjoy fiddling with electronical stuffs and am currently converting one of my motorcycles to fuel injection. Just curious about peoples thoughts about converting some of these scooters to fuel injection. I know someone awhile back was selling kits for doing that but they want too much for them in my opinion. Has anyone here done it? Did they like the results? I was browsing through some of the other posts earlier and saw the fuel economy post. With mpg in the 100+ range on some of these 150s I wonder if that would be noticeably improved with fuel injection.

So a few years back I picked up 2 150cc scooters for 70 dollars. I didn't even ask questions, I just jumped on it figuring being mechanically inclined I can fix anything wrong with them. Sure enough they are in pretty much the shape you'd expect for that kind of money, fairings all tore to pieces and not running. One of them had a seized motor so into the penalty box it went and the other - which is the one I am asking about - I was able to get up and running. I had to trash all of the body panels though, including the seat bucket and seat. Temporarily (maybe) I welded in a new seat, but I would kinda like to bring this scooter back to its factory look. I have scoured the interwebs looking for some place that sells a full set of body panels and stuff for this scooter and have come up dry. I occasionally see a bit here and there on ebay but they want real money for them and I just can't justify that. Gorilla math puts piecing a set together on ebay at costing around 800 dollars and those are used parts. So my question really is does anyone know of a place that sells body panel sets for these scooters? If the picture wants to play nice you'll get to see what I'm working on. Poor thing has seen better days but it runs perfect.
