If you take an 87 elite and chop the neck down to 7" or so, you can fit the forks from a 1983 express on the front.

1995 elite s handle bars bolt right on top of that. :wink:

Chop six inches or so off the rear of the rear of the frame too, and slap a spree seat on it.


Yeah... Ilike the looks so far. :thumbwink:

This project still needs a gas tank.

I was thinking of making one. Im not sure if I'm talented enough for that.

That is a great way to get your son involved with the scooter world. Gotta keep the scooters going strong! And is that gonna be a naked scoot??

nice work TJ. the scooter looks really cool. if he was my son I would put the wood floor board on, like your other scooter. but that's just me, a little safer than pegs :imo:
either way he's really going to enjoy it, and that's what it's all about. :thumbwink:
