daddue11- love the look of this trike. Is setting and keeping the front wheel alignment set a problem? I've read a lot of the comments on the can-am clones and people were saying that alignment was a real problem.
Thanks in advance, and lots of safe miles to you!

If you go on the bms website it does indeed have fuel injection, and bosch injectors at that.

Really remarkable. Are you repainting the frame and cleaning/shining the chrome and engine or are you replacing parts when you do this?? It looks brand new - probably better than new. Thanks. This is one of my favorite threads.

Elite1- Thank you very much for posting that thread. Not only a great story, but also an excellent example of how something like this can be presented to great effect.

I'm just going to wrap this up in case someone else needs the answer in the future. The scooter is a Vog 260, and the tail lights do not come on with the key. In fact, the tail lights are not tail lights at all, but only brake lights -- the tail light function is taken care of by the horizontal led array. Thus it makes sense that the brake lights on this scoot are 1156's, not 1157's, since they have only the one function. If the lights are on without pressing the brake, its the switch or a short. Got my new switch in the mail yesterday, and all things are as they should be.

It looks like it is a digital needle and other indicators operating behind a faux-conventional dial.

I don't know what's more impressive - the fact that you have 10k or that you found 50w 55W BA20D bulbs. Great job on both!

Killermotorsports was the only place I've seen this in two-wheels, but maybe that's changed - It's usually in a trike version. There's a guy Hulk or Hulk something on this site or on dawg who has one. I just looked for you but could not find the thread. It is very good looking, that's for sure.

I took off the right brake switch today, and sure enough, the little push pin was stuck in solid. I opened the switch to see what was hanging it up, and the plastic push pin had melted onto the rocker part of the switch and jammed it in the on position. I just ordered another switch. Thanks to all for your suggestions and insight.

Great to have them as supporters. I've bought some odds and ends from them and they couldn't have been more helpful.
