Re: My first Scooter

Thanks. I just picked up some purple billet washers to clip in the rear fenders so they won't rattle anymore. I also found some oem mirrors so I will finally have those, kind of liked the single mirror look lol. I am getting more and more satisfied with my spree as each part goes on.
