First Scoot build!
Heres my first build:
89 Honda Elite E frame with 03 Tank GY6 50cc motor and the front fork of the Tank scoot.
heres some pictures of what it looks like so far:
Where the belly pan went on that will be removed.
Shock tower
The motor is mounted with the Tank Mount welded on to where the Elite motor was mounted to
top of the mount
under the mount
Bike pigs for foot rests
Much more pictures to come.
my plan is to make it look like this moped but a little different. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e214/ ... 1247184954
What do you guys think?

Extremely nice! I'm really diggin' the rims. I like the stretch look.

Re: First Scoot build!
Looks like a good start
I would re inforce the shock mount somehow
Spreetard has wanted to put a GY6 clone on a spree frame for a while now.
He will like your build a lot.

Very cool!
On a side note...do you have any of the plastics from the GY6 scoot? I'd be interested if you do! Just drop me a PM. Thanks.

the tube is also going to hold speedo and tack and the key, probably a push button start (:

Re: Firts Scoot build!
since you weld make yourself a gas tank to fit in the stock place. why is the stem so long and high?
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: Firts Scoot build!
the stem is the threaded rod thats connected to the triple clamp that holds the fork legs. that thing is long and high. why didn't you shorten it up a little? the stem usually is level with the seat height or are you making the bars like a extended chopper style where the bars are sky high?

lowering done on the frame would just make it higher off the ground.

I was thinking that too. But then I rememberd there is no seat or seat bucket on this bike yet.
If you try to imagine it with the bigg * elite e seat on it, the bars don't seem so high.
