Hi! I'm going to start a new topic straight up.. So I am basicly tuning, repairing and rebuilding my shitty chinese scooter with low budget. I bought this about month ago for 100€. First I cleaned the whole engine and tested all the basic stuff like brakes and tire pressures, then I started to fixing and tuning it in hope of money because I am going to sell this. So.. here is a picture of it, taken when I bought it.. So I really hated basicly everything in this I wanted to strip all the ugly pieces off like backbox and those ugly big mudguards.. So I started with that.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I took off backbox and mudguard.. I added small custom-made aluminium plate to hold the registerplate, and some basic fluorescent blue wheelstripes and aluminium valve caps.. I also did minimal paintjob to all the black parts and exhaust pipe and changed some fuel hoses(?) to transparent ones. I also painted tires with white paintpen and polished chrome exhaustpipe guards All these changes cost like about 20€ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After those changes I focused on the engine.. It was pretty lazy although the max. speed was about +70km/h. I decided to cheer it up a bit so I bought a power filter with aluminium frame and also worked on carburetor. I also bought Scott Double D grips from local motorcycle shop. With these changes the bike goes about 80km/h and it turned bit more powerful. Power filter and grips cost about 30€.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then I feeled like painting again.. So I painted some parts of engine with glossy black and sanded gastank's cap and then painted it with glossy white spraypaint. I also took front mudguard off because I didn't like the look of it.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So.. All these changings cost like 50€ because all the paintbottles were some old ones that I found from my closets.. With this budget and this small amount of work it looked like this.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is what I am going to do.. Shock absorber riser, about 100mm tall. Trying to do a bit cleaner than that, though :grin: I am putting photos here when it's ready!
There it is.. Bit rough but its okay I will paint it with metallic blue soon It is maybe 95mm tall and it was pretty easy to do!
