Rode to school yesterday and the bags were great.
No flapping in the wind and they held my books, my purse and waterbottle
without difficulty.

This is great as my trunk has come open a couple times on my way home with my purse in the trunk. Now I can zip it into my bag and not worry. I would love to get rid of the trunk but wnt to keep the backrest.

on my LaVie, the regulator is the rectifier?

rectifier is under the front cowl, near the horn.

I was looking for saddle bag and came VERY close to buying some pretty expensive bags from LeatherUp.

I heard from someone about these nylon saddlebags made for horses from another scootist and decided for $23 shipped they were worth a look.

Here they are:



So When I got it the middle section was about 5 inches too wide between each bag. i cut out the middle and sewed it back together. Then I put the thing back on the scoot and measured where the gas cap is and cut that out and sewed around the edges so the gas cap is exposed.


The whole thing is fit under the grab handles so it won't go anywhere and the seat closes perfectly over it. The bag can't be stolen that way (okay it can be cut, but i'm not worried about that.)


For $18 plus shipping, they come in black and brown and the company shipped really fast. i'll be getting a second pair for Tom's scoot, provided I can get the thing running.




Oh yeah, the link to these is:

And I found some pencil holder things that are about 3 inches deep and 12 inches long. I used them to make the bottom hard so things won't make the bottom bow out, you can kind of see where they are in the last picture. You can see the outline.
But now they have a flat, hard bottom.

Thanks!

I will let the engine break in more and maybe check the
rollers first. I remember breaking open the Vie and finding
18s in it, changing them to 14/11s made the top end much
faster and climbed hills better. If there are 18s in the Peg
and 15s in the Cadenza that could make a difference.

And this is the second engine in the Fly, the first, Tom says
was very different than this one. He says it seemed broken
in the moment it was installed. Faster by far then the first and
smoother from the beginning. He is getting better, smoother
power with each mile. And I have only given the Peg a mere
350 miles compared to Fly 1500.

Peg seems fast when I'm riding alone. It seems slow when Tom
is puling away from me. BUT I can hold it up and Tom tetters on
it when riding. Finally had to measure each others inseam to prove
my legs are longer than his.

I'm going to shave the seat this weekend and install the Vapor Trail Tech
to it so I can tell how fast/slow I'm going. Tom says the Fly hits 70 by China
and is about 8% off.

Cadenza is 282# Tom is 185#

Peg is 286# and i'm 166# (I'm a Botticelli, but losing)

So the weight is about the same.

I would love to do this but my scoot shuts off when the kick is put down.
And the worst light doesn't have the wire showing.
I know it's not a timed light as I have sat at it for a full 5 minutes before finally going through it. But when the car sits at the light it's a 1.5 by 10 second light. 1.5 minutes on the main road, 10 second on the side road.

The engine sounds great when it's idling. But it isn't ticking at all. It's problem is when it's under a lot of force, uphill or sometimes from a stop to full throttle.

I'm going to switch out the coil and plug and see what's what.

Ive got an email in to Daniel for a replacement coil. He should be riding again by weeks end. The do ship dern fast!! Meanwhile I'm letting Tom ride the Peg to get more miles on it for breakin.
