I don't know of any exact replacement windshield, but should be easy to mod most that have the same general curve. Since the mounting holes are covered, you can even get away with sloppy cuts. Use the star light twinkle effect that spray paint artists use to paint the lower edge, hold a piece of cardboard perpendicular yo it and just above it, short sprays on the cardboard mist onto the plastic, then fill in the bottom to look somewhat like stock.

I still haven't put on the trunk, don't like them, but may have to due to no underseat storage.

Get yourself an impact wrench, much quicker/easier to use, and can be used for other projects around the house. I use this one from Harbor Freight, it's 12v so I can hook it right up to the scooter battery. It's the wind up and release type, so it spins then whacks the nut. Usually takes 2-3 whacks to remove, and I let it whack it 3 times when I re-install the variator nut. I actually carry it and a spare belt with me, so I can switch out the belt on the side of the road if it happens to fail. One of the variator tools will cost you $10-20, this is on sale now for $22.99, and can be used for so much more!

Harbor Freight 12v Impact Wrench

I feel like an idiot for not measuring the stud spacing when I did the PDI. Unfortunately, there are 5 body panels to remove in order to get to the valve cover, and you have to remove the seat from the bucket due to two forward screws that are virtually unreachable, so the whole thing is a PITA compared to my 50cc (bucket and one panel). Next time I have the valve cover off I'll be sure to measure and let you know what it is on the BN157QMJ-3. I'm hoping it's 54 so I can use the bolt on NCY 61mm BBK in the future, anything less doesn't seem worthwhile, and I don't think I want to bore the case.

I just got my new SSR Pacifica last week too, also order from Power Ride Outlet. I ordered my MCO the next day, still waiting, in your experience are they good at getting the MCO out?

I haven't pulled the lights to see what type they are. Here is a link to a thread by someone who did a very throrough PDI last year, including upgrading his lights. You might try PM'ing him for more details on what he did. Lot's of good tips on this particular scooter in this posting!

Since I don't have the MCO yet, I've only ridden mine around the neighborhood a few times, still has less than 25 miles on it. I'm loving the 16" wheels, so much smoother, I'm not afraid of manhole covers anymore! Feels much closer to riding a motorcycle in terms of handling, not as quick and nimble as my 50cc, but just feels right.

I originally wanted the burgundy, but they were out, so I went with dark blue metallic and it's beautiful! Which color did you go with?

I took my carb off today to pull the plug on the a/f mixture screw. Turns out the screw itself has no slot, so it's non-adjustable. Means I'll be replacing it asap, at which time I'll probably remove most of the emissions crap as well. I also plan on switching to sliders, I've found Dr Pulley sliders in 20x15, probably keep the same weight as the rollers for now, should give me just a bit more bottom end torque. Not planning on a BBK anytime soon, but might go with the 61mm NCY bolt on come summer time, as long as the head bolts are the correct spacing. Any plans for mods other than the headlights on yours?

Here's a quick video of the delivery itself so you can see why you need to be sure you have lift-gate service included in your purchase:

As you can see, no damage to the box. Interesting thing, the box has no bottom!

Here are photos of the stages of unboxing, which goes as follows:
1- Remove outer plastic wrap
2- Remove box
3- Remove accessory items (trunk, mirrors, windshield, battery - note: start charging battery right away)
4- Remove interior plastic wrap
5- Remove top bolts from metal frame - note: pieces only bolted to top and bottom must be supported to prevent falling
6- Remove any connecting straps or brackets from top of frame to handle bars or trunk rack
7- Remove all vertical metal frame pieces - note: be careful, don't let them scratch your new ride!
8- Remove any lower straps or brackets connecting scooter to lower frame or pallet
9- Remove bike from lower frame/pallet - note : get help, don't take chances on removing it and dropping it!
10 - Clean up packaging and begin PDI

Put the kids away! Scooter porn time!

Here are two entries, the first is the worst I've ever seen, scares the crap out of me!


Second is the funniest one of all time. Keystone Cops had nothing on this rider!
