So with the Intake mod and a 70 main jet, what can I realistically expect... from the one ride I've taken so far, it seems that my stock intake and jet set up gave better performance. Am I missing something? I was getting 32-35mph with...

+1 for what T.jamz said...

I am always catching my center stand while turning... getting better at not doing that, but I still scrape it almost every day.

Got the 180, :*: was the rest of that???

The New Look...

Better pics when I get it back together

Also got to work on the wheels...

I found it by placing a post on SalemFreecycle.com ... said I wanted a project scooter - condition not important... :blah: :blah: So this guy called me and said he had something, but he wanted some $$ for it. When he said $25.00 (he also sent a pic of it) I asked, "can I come get it right now? ...

I'm not sure what to say about that helmet,,, other than :*:

Still looking for carb for this thing... the choke mech. is stuck inside....have to choke by hand right now.
