got it registered today so now i can ride it one super sunday in the sgv. supposed to be over 100 scooters

I was thinking of riding down as well. No registration is needed or anything like that, right?

Just double checking...

i like the foot pegs you added, i'd pull the whole floorboard and just use those.

so i swapped the elite rear shock with a aero 50 shock and no change was made. then i got a ruckus shock on there and man what a difference.


my new question is this.
does an aero 50 air box work on an elite with no major mods being done to it?

Greetings:

Mounting the Aero box to an Elite may present some challenges, depending on the model year of the Elite. The Aero's stock manifold points the carb nearly directly at the shock. The box itself "wraps" around the shock and evidently tucks in closer to the wheel/tire. Hence the "Aero" label?

Beginning in 1988(? - 1987 or earlier on JDM models), even AF05E-engined Elites got a different manifold different reed petals, and which was also angled differently, along with a different airbox. Therefore, Bracket Trickery may be required to mount the Aero box to this different configuration. The Aero box isn't bad, and has some mod potential but the Aftermarket offers easier solutions, perhaps with even more performance potential.

well i was thinking of using it incase it rains on sunday. it doesn't have to look pretty just needs to function correctly or i might go find a filter that has a cover.
