got this for £40, had a stripped spark plug hole which ive now helicoiled. It was silver but it was all scratched and faded, at first i just sprayed the inner panels, wheels and exhaust black and tinted the lights. Its going all black but not sure what colour to do wheels? and im making a custom pipe for it when i have a bit of money spare anyone know if theres any performance mods for this as i cannot find any:/ Got some Koso mirrors for it hehe and some speedfight alloy footplate things
Here's some things i have planned for it: Jack-Up Kit New shock Modified PM360 Pipe Side Mount for Reg Plate New reg plate (original one is mahoosive!) Recover seat Few stickers (stage6, polini, malossi,k&n etc) Different rollers New drivebelt Custom made grab rail/spoiler Also wanted to try aerox forks, as i would get the stage6 massive disc and caliper, and got a bar conversion lying around from my old aerox. I understand there is no real performance mods for this scooter, but i want it to stand out from every other honda lead ive seen. Also, this will take time to complete as money is an issue at the moment. Anyone got any idea what colour i should paint the wheels? They look rubbish in black.
Well got the new shock and jack up kit ordered, side mounted the reg, and im now in the middle of converting my speedfight bar conversion to fit as pictured
little update, no pictures yet. Removed front mudguard and painted inner panels white. Also having a hard time adapting the Doppler stem to fit as one of the stem bolt holes threads are stripped, and the other one the bolt snapped inside as i never tightened them both evenly! Had to make a shim to fit inside the stem before i tighten it onto the fork steerer as its miles to wide! Used a quality street tin lid
Order received from PM Tuning! New pipes and jack-up kit, and a nice keyring well the jack-up kit had to be adapted as it was for a speedfight engine, so i just marked the jack-up kit where it wasnt fitting and cut that piece off, fitted it and if im honest its barely made a difference. I want the engine tilted right down at the back so i will either make an additional jack up block or order a very long shock. Fitted all the pipes, and had some spare, so fitted them as breathers and overflows Still not properly fitted the bar conversion, might have to order a different stem, anyone know what one may fit?
i made a jackup for my scoot, just cut an old peice of square section steel, took a lot of grinding, but works well considering it was just trash steel. can you not just use the old honda bars and weld a clamp to them if that makes sense?
i had square section steel in mind, and do you mean use like the stem part and weld my bars on or something?
i know haha but not bothered about performance really, anything should be better than the horrible standard rotten pipe
you should cut open the standard pipe and weld a stright through pipe into it, so it looks standard but sounds like a proper pipe
i know a guy who did it with a tuono factory, it sounded amazing, but was way too loud, he bought some race pipes so he could keep his hearing!
as far as i know, chinese gy6 engines are the same layout, so i could get a gy6 exhaust for it maybe haha
got a plag 90 racing exhaust for it that will fit with slight modification, its old but still very chrome and shiny shame the scooter doesnt run
too much back pressure, would be like trying to run it with a plug in the exhaust, exhausts are quite complicated if you read the maths behind them, the length and diameter is quite critical
