Hi geh3333, yes mine has 13" mag wheels with disc. brakes front and rear. I up graded the front caliper from a single piston to a dual piston,but had to fab.the caliper hanger as I could find one that would work with my front forks, it took some work to fab. but it works really well.I'm now working on a custom stainless steel exhaust system, as well as the cluster mod.how about you any mod on your scooter?.

Hi everyone, I want to change my instrument cluster because my scooter did not come with a tachometer .I found one on ebay that has a tachometer ,with a 9 pin connector like mine but the one on ebay has only 7 wires going to the connector mine has 9. now my scooter has a voltmeter on the cluster that the ebay cluster does not .the voltmeter uses 2 wires to make it work so I think that is the reason for the 2 extra wires on my connector I was hoping that maybe someone out there has done this mod.before and could give me some pointers any help would be great,if you need more info please ask.thanks in advance.

scooter, tvnacman, ricardoguitars, rockynv, SylvreKat, flyangler, shalomdawg, oldchopperguy, JerryScript I'm one of thous that get attached to almost every vehicle i have owned. I have a Corvette that I've owned for over 30 years, both my kids came home from the hospital in that car at birth, and now there all grow up and gone.just can't help myself,I get attached ,some more than others but still there like part of me .so mourning time?I still mourn vehicle I had years ago.so I don't think there is a rite or wrong mourning time, if you loved that scooter or car or what ever you'll always remember it ,and probably in a better lite than it was.it's like the little scooter i have now ,I'm attached to it and that's saying a lot from a old 60 +year Harley rider, that back in the day wouldn't have given a scooter a second look ,but look at me now, I love my little scooter and not ashamed to say so. so sorry for your loss.and you guys that don't get attached to your vehicles....well i guess you just don't get it.later

rockynv, oldchopperguy, SylvreKat, ricardoguitars, JerryScript wow you mean you take phone calls when you're riding,even hands free is got to be, excuse me stupid ,I see people on there cell phones every day on the road (which is illegal in my state)but it doesn't seem to bother them at all .what the f#%@ your endangering my life as well as your own.and your wearing a full face helmet because it cuts down the wind noise, so you can hear your most important call, what can be so.... important that you can't wait till you get to your destination or just pull over.and answer the call.I guess I'm just old school and don't get it ,but this activity is killing more people every day then even drunk drivers and thats saying something. please don't phone and drive.it can wait.later

scoot08, oldchopperguy, wheelbender6, JerryScript, rockynv, SylvreKat, novaraptor, ricardoguitars there are pros and cons for both full face helmets and open face helmets, such as when wearing a full face helmet your peripheral vision and hearing impairment. but I don't want to get into a argument over which is better.what ever your choice as long as it's comfortable and gives you the protection you want, thats the one you should use.and as far as protecting my pretty face from damage. well,if I was that concerned about it, I'd just drive a car and not a scooter or motorcycle, and what fun would that be.sorry if i've offended some people with my comments .but we all have are own ideas about safety and protection. I've been riding some kind of two wheel motor vehicle for over 50 years and i'm still here.(a little cranky ,but still here)later

scoot08, oldchopperguy, wheelbender6, JerryScript, rockynv, SylvreKat, novaraptor, ricardoguitars Someone asked how does a bee get into a helmet?well this is for some of you younger riders,back in the day(lol) they didn't make full face helmets, so most of us old guys wore open face helmets, if we wore helmets at all. now if you know what a open face helmet looks like, cool (if you don't just ask a old guy)anyway there is nothing covering your face from the middle of your forehead to your chin,and your eyes were covered by sunglass, this made you look cool ( any way we thought so)so as your riding down the road all the bee had to do is hit you between your face and the inside of your helmet.if this happens the bee gets really pis#*%off because he or she can't get out .so he or she does what avery red blooded american bee does in this situation,it starts stinging .and this can really be bad for the unfortunate rider that is on the receiving end of this situation. I hope this explains how a bee can get into a helmet and wreck your day.and yes,I still wear a open face helmet.just a glutton for punishment I guess.later
