    it has a pm 59 with red end can
    malossi 172 kit
    malossi reed block and reeds
    malossi intake
    25mm dellorto with manual choke
    some open airfilter
    malossi shock
    vx forks
    pm levers
    pm tuning back wavy disk
    and evos

    ok now the bad bits this is where im gona need your help

    first i dont think the fan is working ,
    the temperature gauge not working,
    the indicator switch is worn out and loose
    i think the indicator relay is gone as indicators stay on when i turn them on
    the brake light dont work
    the ignition barel is not working ( strts with no key as the thing at the back is missing )
    seat lock dosent work ( not snaped or broken just no key barrel )
    the high beam is not turning on ( maybe not wired up properly?)
    and back tyre is gone


    ok so plans for the winter :
    manual switch for fan
    new buttons
    koso speedo
    new relay
    front led indicators
    lexus back light
    new ignition barrels so same key for seat and ignition
    new seatlock
    wire the evo light up properly
    brand new set of tyres
    set of brake pads
    engine cleaned and sprayed black
    grab rail sprayed in black
    pm pipe cleaned and painted
    all new same bolts for plastics
    some alarm system
    flick up number plate
    a nice kick star lever
    wheels powder coated in neon green same as the spare set of evo vents that i have
    malossi shock spring sprayed in black
    some new foot pegs and foot plates

    im keeping the aerox till i turn 17 ( april 2012) . For my runner got a complete wiring loom for £40 yesterday and a pair of indicators so i think the new loom will sort out some problems, i have also stripped it down completely and it looks like the engine has newer been token out yet so will do a good clean up , spray the frame and forks maybe the engine for now will come up with some pictures . here are some that i have done few days ago :

    [​IMG]

    since last time i have fitted malossi belt, malossi torque spring, new torque drive and new front pulley.
    i was disappointed about the horn as you could barely hear it because of the engine is so loud so i now have fitted two piaggio horns and that shit sounds like a lorry now ,
    also have fitted smoked lenses all round
    in addition to that
    i have done some work over weekend - wheels, side case and grab rail sprayed in gloss black.
    oh and i got few orange led's in my speedo instead of little bulbs that dont give no light at all ,

    here is some pictures:

    I always like the look of painted forks on runners. That's deffo the best aftermarket headlights to put on a runner as well. :)

    More pics more pics!
