Mark- I have four white LED lights on the front of my scoot.

Dual 27W LED 'spotlights' described as: High Power LED Work Lights 27W 10-30vDC 2150 lumens Spot 30degree beam Waterproof IP67, Current 2.25A @12v, 1.125A @24v 30,000+hours life, 6000K Cool White Heavy duty 4.3" Round.

Dual Euro Style Motorcycle Chromed Billet Aluminum 24 LED White lamps. Generally used for Fog Lights, Blinkers, Indicators, Side Marker, or Turn Signals on motorcycles. These 'marker' lights are aimed at a slight angle outwards to 'signal' cage drivers approaching an intersection.

Most Ruckus style scoots have dual ~4-1/2" round headlights. Mine originally had dual 18W halogens with dual 4W incandescent marker lights built into the housing. The lights sucked...

John, those valve cap lights are interesting but I don't know about the multi-color aspect. Do they run on batteries? I have side reflectors fore and aft with a white/red reflective stripe down the sides of the floorpan. I am considering more reflective stripes but I have not convinced myself to put them on painted surfaces like fenders etc.

I want to get myself one of those utility worker bomber jackets in lime green with reflective stripes also. I haven't found the right one yet and I am leery of the sizes with mail order. I am tough to fit, 6'4" tall, 210#, 50" barrel chest, and 37" waist. Normal clothing just does not fit right. I also need exercise but I have been avoiding it because if I go to the gym it will just get worse.

I installed the 1-1/8" riser blocks for 7/8" motorcycle bars. That way the bars cleared my knees.

I repeat: "Luke, I suggest you READ the article."

As long as a scoot has some slack in the wiring, hoses, and cables, the handlebars can be raised with blocks. That is not an easy 'adjustment' by any means. All of those wires and cables, etc. going to the controls and instruments are a problem in themselves. To me they look like a major failure looking for a time to happen. Some seats like mine could be raised with blocks but it would be ugly and far from easily adjustable. I can feel the seat structure moving about under me as is. It is only a matter of time before plastic (polypropylene?) fractures.

Luke, I suggest you read the article.

I use a folding tote made in the UK on the luggage rack in back. When unfolded it opens up bigger than a milk crate. It also matches my black scoot. I got it at an office supply store.

There are three #582 WALD folding baskets, one in front and two on the sides, all black.

I really need to get pictures of my ride with the mods posted.
