Post by bigluelok »

plan's try to register it. it is out of the system.
if registered try and gather enough body panels to make it hole if i dont want it bare bones any more. we will see when the time comes.
if registered save for a dio swap. :twisted:


if not registerable do a goped style build like the ones that capturedbyrobots has built.

give me feed back please good or bad. i will try and get some more pics asap.

as you can see it has a bunch of different things on it headlight, blinkers front and rear, taillight.

parts i have for the bike so far.
death grip's. (they are black with little skulls)
head light (i will see how it looks.)

thanks for looking

Not bad I got to say. The parts look nice and clean. For $150 you can't go wrong. Just get some plastics on here, and fix her up and it'd be PERFECT! Pretty loud I'd say as well.

well i like the bare bones look if anything i will just paint the aluminum pieces flat or gloss black and reupolster the seat.

i will get a better video of me riding it around the neighbor hood when i find a way to mount my camera so you can really hear this thing.

I dig the flat black. Really clean looking scoot. I'm not sure I'm fond of the front turn signals though, but as they say, safety first! :)
