Re: My 86 Aero 50 "Silver Bullet"

Thanks for the great feedback guys!

It was a lot of hard work and I'm happy with the results.

I will buy another scoot when this one is done for sure.

Re: My 86 Aero 50 "Silver Bullet"

With what's been going on with my move I have had limited time to finish this scoot. Here though are some updated photos of where it stands as almost completed...... I painted on a silver stripe onto the speedo plastic to tie both colors in. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5843/1001214.jpg http:...

Re: My Chinese scooter

Rather than writing a novel on why a Chinese scooter is a POS, just ride one! Wheelman tried to put it nicely , but I won't. The plastics used for them are cheap. The metals used are cheap. The fit and fininsh is bad. I don't give a crap what kind of GY6 clone engine is used, they use junk moters th...

There are enough horror stories on the net to fill the library of congress isthe reason why I decided against it. Yes they are a GY6 Honda clone. BUT....They still are not manufactured with the same qua...

Re: Aftermarket Air Filter

Both my Sprees and my Aero ran really bad when I tried an aftermarket filter before I replaced the bores. I tried many different jets and couldnt get it right.

If your Spree is stock. I would just look on here or ebay for another airbox.

just my two cents....

Re: My 86 Aero 50 "Autobot Silver Bullet"

Well I was all excited to show some more new picks of my scoot....... BUT....

The brake cable I received is not worthy of my scoot and I must now pursue another.
