Did another vid today. Went back to do some tunnel blasting for the full enjoyment of my exhaust, and I talk about the work that goes into motovlogging.

Had a bit of an annoying mishap. My helmet cam wasn't fully charged and only recorded two minutes of video, so the newest episode of Scooter Dawg is all Maggie, all the time! But hey, she's cute, so why not.

It would be helpful if you would show where the tube is connected at its other end. That screw appears to be nothing more than a plug, so knowing what's at the other end will help.

Interesting review. Do you miss the cargo capability of a flat floorboard design . . such as the Yamaha Smax? Tbh, I never felt safe with cargo between my feet. I always worried about it falling off, so I rarely used the floorboard on my previous machine to carry anything other than my feet. I can always get a tunnel bag and use the pillion seat for tying down larger items. Heres the video about my own clutch bearing and variator replacement. |

I've had this machine for a bit over a year, and over 10,000 miles. Hope you enjoy the video.

That's hilarious OCG!. Surprising that a cat would go for that.
Here's Maggie's most recent ride:

This is when it helps to know your mechanic. It's not a long road test tbh and there is no specified distance; however, one cannot properly test stopping performance, shimmy/excessive vibration (how one figures that out on a Harley beats the snot out of me), steering, speedometer/odometer operation, and so on without actually operating the vehicle. It doesn't take long to figure out and if I were to goof around on a customer's bike I stand to lose a customer, my job, and my inspection license.
I've used two different inspection stations in the past and while one runs about a quarter mile up the road, turns around at the dead end, then returns, the other shop just buzzes the bikes around a storage grounds they own behind the shop.

One option would be to find the original machine it's based on and look for the accessories that go with it. The trouble is, the accessories for the original might not even be compatible. Now, if you don't care about how bad it looks, you could look into something from slipstreamer. I had one on my Kymco people 150 and it was fine, even if it didn't look exactly right, it was functional. It was a scoot 30. Their website is here slipstreamer.com/scooter/ |

Thanks kindly, As for what's next, I'm still enrolled in school and have finals this week for the first term. The PA motorcycle safety inspection was a bonus, and it will look great on my resume.  |
