I just got a used Honda Elite (99) and Im interested in restoring it / making it faster. I got it for $400 but it needs some tlc for sure. Here's what I have done so far
Day 1:
1. It was missing battery cover (center plastic). I replaced with a ok used one
2. It didnt have kickstand - replaced with a used one
3. It was missing belt cover metal plate (back half) replaced with a used one - but I can see keeping it open is a look people like.
I should note from falling over (no center kickstand before I bought it) it has allot of scrapes and dings in plastic. what should I do first? it has several problems like low idel (I have to give it gas at a stop light). Electric start "wants to start it" but doesnt. When I kick start it starts but you need to give it gas at same time.
Feelings?

PS. I know this thing is a tad on the ugy side but I heard that you can do great things even with a beat up elite. I hope I can make something of this scooter.
