I be going over to Kona by the end of the year. My original plan was to schedule the trip to coincide with a BIHRA track meet, and to visit a good friend in Hilo that I haven't seen for a few years. Inter island flights are almost $100 each way now. What ever happened to $29?!?.. :roll:

BTW, how much longer is the mount on that silver Sym that you posted on FH?

Sick! Looks like a fricken beast! Nice job! :D

How long is the stretch on THAT one?...

Okay, I'd like a similar look as the silver bike, so I'll make a mental note that I want at least a 7" stretch on the mount.

How is the ride on it afterwards? I'm never going to race anywhere, or hang turns. I just like the look. Besides, if we ever get a track back again, I'll be racing a car. Much safer!

Also, how hard is it to relocate the shock mount? -I've never seen a Sym frame before...

Out of all the crazy stuff I have seen done with mopeds and scooters that just blows it away. I'm picking up a four stroke Elite 150 tomorrow, not sure if there's anyway I can mod it but it won't be neccessary. It already hits 65, that's plenty for me.
