Very nice way of spending less money to rebuild a scooter. Practically pennies you spent just the time and labor, Improvise. Looks very tasteful. Night Rider!

some things I didn't take pictures of the repairs
the front tab that holds on the side panels on by the battery
you can use a piece of a broken upper under the headlight
the plastic is the right thickness to fix the tab

one of the screw bosses for the headlight is really long
cut it off and you can use for repairing
the screw bosses on the hood that attach to the front inner fender

left to do
fix the center stand its bent
waiting for temp guage and install
take outside change gears
add battery & gas


had a old air filter for my motorcycle
so I came up with this ( this is a proto type some mods will be made)
I wanted it to fit under the side skirt
2.0 piece of exhaust 2.0 hose 6mm coupling nut brazed to the exhaust
and some 1/8 x 1/2 steel for support
this is what I came up with

That looks like P.O.P... Picture Of Perfection! I love the the paint, a nice unique color. That should haul along real nice with that setup. Those pipes are real monsters down low!
