this is my scoot i have been working on. i bought it this last summer for $700 not knowing a thing about scooters....it started as a 2008 jonway 150cc...looked like this borrowed pic but black and grey i drove it around all summer liked this and found what i liked and disliked about the scooter...mostly i liked the scooter, but not the spaceship plastics on it....at least one mounting point on every body panel was broken. so i justified ripping them off...this required a new headlight, which i got from a local auto parts store i threw a exhaust on i found on ebay for $40 then threw a 60mm bbk in with a uni filter and bigger jet then quickly decided im gona make it a full out custom.... so far new custom drag bar handlebars, slammed the front end and a custom kickstand that had to be lowered as well as she sits today...im waiting to fund the new lower rear shock for the stretch and new throttle controls

i would suggest that you put the shouds back on the motor or you will run the motor hotter than it is suppose to run and will shorting the motor life

I'm pretty sure the engine gets enough air...nothing is ever covering mine, which is why most scoots need the circulation shroud.
