Re: isn't wider tires soposed to increase speed??

Re: 1987 SE50 naked scooter project

paint the oil tank black. of course, leave a vertical strip so you can see the oil level.
i think it'd make it look more complete.

Re: replacing the rear brake

you're lucky, it doesnt look like its sheer w/ the base. grab yourself a pair of locking-jaw pliers(vise-grips) and twist it out of there. if this doesnt work you can get a bolt extractor set from any decent hardware store. to replace, you can just go to the same hardware store and pick up a new one...

Re: I got a 1985 Honda Aero 50 What the * do I do now???

I'm gonna appreciate that ride even more now that I'm learning how the thing runs. thats exactly why i had my girlfriend rebuild hers from the ground up. the in-line fuel filter replaces the in tank filter and since its in line you can see if/when it gets clogged. the bike pump i linked to is just ...
