I've been modding my elite for a while now and its got some go but not much show. I'm trying to figure out some nice touches like aftermarket kick start lever (what spline fits?), handle grips, maybe some nice brake levers or mirrors (again what fits?). I really like the look of the Renthal handlebars (like what bakaracer has) on these scoots but i want more info on how people install the hand controls and such. throw some pics at me for some idea
pretty much what it looks like at the moment
Looking for ideas to add some style

Re: Looking for ideas to add some style
I just got this sweet ride two days ago and was wicked stoked when i found the ad on craigslist that it was black with green wheels (my two favorite colors), but it was a little bland, so i got a can of fluorescent green rust oleum and went to work on adding some style
this is how she looks now

Re: Looking for ideas to add some style
you can install a dual head light conversion with handlebars, its a direct bolt up, also a dio rear tail light, im also using led strips for my side panels.

Re: Looking for ideas to add some style
almost ruckus-style?! tell me more! and i would love to add LED's but i'd rather not spend money on something that i can only show off when i'm not on the road (michigan outlawed any aftermarket lighting from being turned on while on the road, it's a "distraction" i guess)maddog wrote:you can install a dual head light conversion with handlebars, its a direct bolt up, also a dio rear tail light, im also using led strips for my side panels.

My benelli came stock with mx bars, i changed them out for cafe bars, the white led strips were mounted on the front spashpan on a downward angle. for your elite-s you can hide an led headlight behind that small grill on the front panel, i installed a 120db ooga horn in that grill, you can run red led strips on the side panels any other color is not legal.

Re: Looking for ideas to add some style
Graphite9 that elite is a pure work of art. Probably the best looking one on this forum. I already contacted the guy that recovered that seat to see if he would do mine so thats in the works. Also I'd give you cash money right this second if you had an adapter that bolted on to the stock elite stem safely. I dont really like the idea of bicycle stem adapters it just doesn't seem safe enough. And maddog have you got any pics of what you're talking about?
Anybody know what kicker levers will fit? I hate the look of the stock one and something with a custom look would be cool.
