my new 88 prebug build

[benji]

Put some yellow film on one of the headlights like the old school yamaha streetbikes. I'll post some pics later.

[benji]

I can barely tell the difference haha.
I also put on the turn signals from my derbi gp1 I'm parting out. And obviously led headlight bulbs. The one in the yellow light is alot weaker.

Looks good with just one yellow one

My taillight came in, so I was able to put on my undertail and the new light to finish it up in the back. I still need to mount a plate tho. I also got my cooling shroud for the cylinder, but I gotta trim it up to make it fit around the big valve intake. I also picked up a couple tires from meatball- a 130/70 shinko for the prebug, and a 80/90 dunlop gp1 that looks like a race tire. Guys got some deals!

[R1Titan911]

Awe yea that tire looks way better and that tail light though!

[benji]

I know, it's so close to that bcd bike I can hardly tell the 2 apart jk haha. I think I wanna stretch it a few inches, not much tho

[benji]

It snowed

[benji]

Took it out, tires basically just spin in the snow haha. Had to ride it to the store cuz my truck was stuck.

Was like 82 degrees here on Saturday, hot enough to go to the jet boat races
I just don't understand why people live where it gets BELOW ZERO lol! Bike looks cool in the snow though

Anyone ever chain their scoot tires? Hèll i don't even know if that's a thing lol!

[benji]

It usually stays above freezing here. I've seen chains and snow tires available. Scooter guys are pretty hardcore in europe.

[R1Titan911]

Above freezing? 65* here is freezing LOL

[Meatball]

Above freezing? 65* here is freezing LOL

Is that how warm the Hurricane winds are?

[benji]

Haha, ya those hurricanes sound awesome. All kidding aside tho, i would rather live in the southwest but I have a family n they like it here in rainy seattle. I went to Florida a couple times and it's WARM, like a hot shower right when you get off the plane haha. But I don't like rain.

[benji]

And sometimes it hits 90 here! Haha.

On my gas gauge/warning light pod from the tng venice, I have a fuel light that would come on at about a half tank on the venice. The sender on the prebug works backwards from the venices, and when I hooked up the gas warning light it worked backwards -light on when full, light out when empty. I tried to swap sending units from the tng gas tank to the prebug gas tank, but it doesn't fit and also didn't work. So I bent the fuel sender float rod 180 degrees backwards so the float works backwards, turning the fuel light brighter as it gets lower. I think I'm gonna put on a resistor so it doesn't come on til about a half tank, then gets brighter as it gets lower.
