Mine is set up, pretty much the same as yours now, except with 13's.
Before the OKO variator, I put 8,000 miles on my Powerlink, running all stock in the CVT.
After replacing with a new Powerlink, The OKO went in and I have a new clutch with Blue and Red Springs, waiting to go in. Don't know which springs I'll use until I've tried them both, but, probably the blue set. Also,..four sets of rollers for tuning.

But 8,000 miles...on my first Powerlink. Although...I don't think the motor has ever been over 6,500 RPMs. I rarely go over 5,500 RPMs.

It still would not hurt to go ahead and replace what you have on there now, and keep it as a spare. When mine broke, even though it "looked fine" 3 days earlier, I was down for four days. Now I keep a spare stock belt, just in case.

Yes, chopperguy, you're right. I was playing with a photo on my phone yesterday. Just goofin around with different colors. These vintage-style scoots do look good in just about any color. If I do end up selling, that's the plan, maybe I should do the paint last,...the buyer could then pick his/her own color. Just a thought.

The young lady will have her truck back this week from the repair shop. So, I'm anxiously, patiently waiting for delivery. She's only 10 miles away, but, I don't have dependable access to a truck without renting. Patience is a virtue....right? ;D

I've been checking CL for the past couple months to find a project bike to fix up and flip. After calling about several that looked promising, I found that a titled bike can be difficult to locate.

Well, this past Friday, I found this 2007 Roketa Sicily 150 with a title. On Saturday, I went to check it out and bought it on the spot. She will even deliver it for me this week, for a total of $300.

Its been sitting garaged for quite some time now. So it will need some work to get it up and running. The motor does turn over smoothly with the kick start. There are two cracks in the right side panel, from falling over, and the muffler is rusted some. But, over all, it's in pretty good shape and only 173 miles. The young lady selling it, said she was afraid to ride on the streets, so she just kept it on campus.

I've never cared much for the vintage look,...but, people do change. I'm excited to get started on a make over. It will be a nice learning experience....I'm really looking forward to it,...cant wait for delivery.

I know next to nothing about the vintage style bikes. So any advice or ideas would be welcomed. I have a feeling that this is going to be a fun little project, and,... wont want to sell it. Thanks in advance for any pointers.
