Thanks, I have put a lot of work into it. It is one of a kind, and I get a lot of looks, especially at night. I wish I did the carbon design, nope, it is part of the original paint on the scoot. The carbon on the mirrors and switches just happened to match. I am going to try to do a couple pf ride videos soon.

Yes it does haul ass! 59mm top end, 28mm FS carb, NCY exhaust, CVT mods, lowered, UNI filter. top end is 65 or so (gps) and climbs hills like nobodies business. I beat cagers off the block all the time and I am a big guy (235 give or take). I really want to road race it, but we don't have anything like that out here. Maybe Twist and Gone next year.

drilled holes in the plastc and used fender washers to support on both sides, then used the brackets you see to keep them from pushing forward. looks a little rinkidink, but I have beeter than 1500 miles like that and they work great. I had to mod the pegs so they would not open all the way because if they did, they would almost point forward due to teh curve of the plastic.

Thanks to the people here and more importantly, the Antisocial crew, for all of the help and advice. I am very happy with it, but I am sure I will do more, because I am one of those "can't leave well enough alone" kind of guys. Gonna do a air/fuel guage-sensor mod and am going to do some T&E for a computer tuned CDI and coil set up (write up comming to this and other sites soon!!). If I can get some pics of good stretch motor mounts, I may even strech it 6" or so.
