Does this kit fit this zuma?

That would probably make it get up and go. :surprise:

What pipe is a good match for this?

It had better make that scooter into a Le Man racer for $505 with shipping. :shock:

IMO, the Zuma II with disc is better than the Bugeye Zuma. If you are looking for a kit on the cheap, Limp still has some BBK's.

Better off swapping a zx50 so it will be a long case.

yeah plus they are lighter by about 40lbs and lots of aftermarket engine and body parts.

They also have a shorter wheelbase with a lower COG. As long as you don't need the underseat storage or capacity to move 500# around, I like the Zuma II. Think about your jog and then compare that to the modern Zuma. The Zuma II is in between those two.

I don't know what the budget for this project will be yet.

The goal is 60mph top speed. Can that be done for $600-$800?

Parts are more expensive for this model (the market is no longer flooded like it is the bug eye Zuma). It can be done for sure if you are willing to use a Taiwan bore. It will be tight to do it with Italian parts. A good crank will really swing it, the Taiwan cranks will not hold up for 60 mph runs.

Baka- I know the '99 Jogs had switched to the Taiwan cranks but did the Vertical Zuma switch over too?
