How long are you going to store the parts? Any rust they see as long as the aren't buried in the dirt/mud will be superficial and should clean up in about a minute and would be unlikely to harm anything. Seems like a waste of time and effort unless you plan to store it all for a quarter of a century. Even then if they are still in the original box I doubt they would see much harm you'd be surprised how fast things rust in south florida. |

ebay but they are for dirt bikes and atvs is it possible to EASILY modify a scooter to use a dirt bike shock? or does someone manufacture scooter shocks that are as soft as a dirt bike? the shocks on those machines are extremely comfortable to ride. |

really? you took the cover off? i don't think those stock blinkers looked bad. you should have seen the turn signals on my 1985 honda spree. they stuck out far enough to be used as a crash bar. lol

yesterday a bug hit me in my neck at about 40 mph. stung a little and that was just a tiny bug... what if a truck kicks up a rock aimed at my neck? that would be bad, no?
between bugs, unforeseen rocks and Leo's story of the bird... i think i'll be getting a windshield.

Why is she wearing white heels with an all-black outfit? Very tacky, very bad fashion. Btb, she is wearing hose. Does that count for leg protection?... >'Kat she practically has her legs flying in the air and that is the only thing you notice as tacky.  oh well, can't please everyone. still a gr8 looking scoot all the way around regardless of those pumps.  |

Me personally, won't go without trouses, and long sleeves, gloves, and goggles on a scooter. Those are my minimum requirements; without them, I might as well go naked on a scooter! well lucky for us she isn't naked... otherwise i wouldn't have been able to post. |

This will take me a little time to convert these images and such and your patience is appreciated. JR no problem, as long as you don't purposely give a dime to facebook i will wait forever. smiley's are gr8 but not if you're stuck buying them from mega-corporations. |

The caliper is secure with new bolts, lock washers and red Loctite, since I don't seem to have any blue laying around. isn't red loctite a permanent bond?  hope you don't need to get that apart anytime soon. i know from experience the pain of waiting on parts so you can ride. at least you found the parts and got it back together.  |

I already installed it, and had overheat problems because of a lean mix. So I took it out and put the original back in  my scooter is a 2012 with 750 miles on it. I dont want to ruin it,just improve it ;D i can't answer from experience but from all the reading i have done it seems like this is the biggest problem with BBK's. if you can install the right jet then i would assume you would be fine. everyone says adjusting your carb is easy. nothing to it. childs play... but they have been working with carbs for years, perhaps decades. i wouldn't trust myself to tune it properly so EFI will be my solution in the future. |

Sorry to say but all those plug pics are way too rich! Doesnt even look like he used a new plug for a chop,,see all the carbon hanging off all of them...  just another reason i want my next scoot to be EFI. |
