I'm thinking VW beetle.

Sorry guys I forgot to measure before I left the house today. remind me again - common scooter fuel lines are 1/4" inner diameter and the smaller carb vents and some of the oil lines (on my urban) are the 3/16" inner diameter?? I want to order some fuel lines today (at work) wink wink. tha...

I notice a pattern of 666 never telling us how much he's paying for these Gyros... Hook us up with the $$$ amounts.

I like the cut down look but what are you doing for tail lights? I figure you have to have at least a brake light to keep the cops semi-happy.

Man.... I can't believe the DevilDude's luck. I'm coming out to Vegas in April.

Maybe you're ready to sell one?

Bought a HF torque wrench to tighten up the head on Urban project. After following the directions I'm still skeptical that I'm going to over-tighten it... Manual says 6-9 ft lbs and I'm dialing the wrench to 5 just as a baseline and it doesn't click.

It must be cold where you are right now. Put the tire on the ground and wait for it to warm up... or hit the brake. It will calm down in a couple minutes.

Ok...so i just got my first scooter (chinese, yes...im that guy) and while i had it i loved it alot. of course, after i did alot of research by looking at your posting and online searches i discovered that....well...i made a grave error and spent alot of money in the wrong place... lesson learned.....

I'm pretty sure I beat you to it Traffic... but I haven't heard from him in a few days.
