I do agree that the stickers or decals shouldn't make it a magnet . My scoot is also loud . And have yet to be stopped. I also agree that the speed is the main issue of being pulled over. It seems that the cops in southwestern pa focus more on cars and other 4 wheeled vehicles then motorcycles and scoots. I drove by a few cops sitting with radar guns and even though I was speeding they never pull out . " not sayin they won't " I usually just wave as I pass hoping they won't pull out. Of course I always slow down if I notice the cop sittin there before I pass.

I used black primer then waxed it , and it actually turned out pretty good. I got the new vinyl in today and cut the peices out now I just have to take them to my parents house tomorrow so my mom can sew it together. After I get it on the seat I'll post a pic without decals. I prob won't have them for about another week or so . I'm also thinkin of paintingg the the letters on the tires with a tire paint maker . Not sure what color to use yellow , white or blue . Maybe after I post the pics I can get some suggestions .

I'll be posting a pic of my scoot with new paint and new black vinyl on the seat Friday evening. I ordered most decals from Thailand so I won't have them for awhile prob another 2 weeks or so . I also ordered some yellow vinyl wrap for the lower 10 inches of the front lower fairing . Also still waiting on the yellow tire paint marker for the tire lettering .

Looks Sharp! The satin type finish on the black parts came out well.  |

Thanks, there are some scratches I didn't fill in , but it's nothing I can't hide when I get the decals. I ordered some yellow vinyl wrap for the lower front fairing , I'm kinda havin a hard time seeing how the yellow is going to look . I'm going to use some shell gas decals and also others with yellow in them so hopefully the yellow wrap
Will work since I already ordered it. If not I may use white instead.

I do understand the possibility of being a police magnet. I have yet to get pulled over with the stock paint. However I 'll take the chance. I keep the scoot locked up on the porch and thank god PA. has stand your ground , I'm a licensed gun carrier and my 45 cal 1911 I wear open on my side will keep the crooks at bay. Just about Every one in a 15 mile radius knows not to steal from me . About a yr ago everyone of my neighbors had their vehicle broken into , mine was the only one untouched . I made sure everyone saw my AK 47 I use to protect my home when I first moved in . Don't get me wrong I don't go around makin threats , I m a law abiding citizen and have good relationships with my neighbors. Lol nothing says dont touch my sh*@ like a nicely polished defender!

Well so much for the vinyl wrap , I just about had it done and screwed it up , lol . And considering I only bought a 2 by 3 ft piece I had to tear it all back off . Luckily it was only 13 bucks . If I decide to buy more I'll have someone else do it . Lol . It was a pain when it came to covering the fairing behind the front wheel .

Thanks , It's something simple that really gives it a sportier look . My decals from Thailand left New York yesterday so I should have them by Friday , I can't wait . I ordered them on the 2nd and I can't believe they made it to the states this quick. The delivery date was the 29th . I'll post a pic of the scoot finished hopefully Friday evening .
