Bulb ordered from Honda and the replaceable bulb housing purchased on eBay.

Taking a while but I know when this one is done that it will be good to go for some time!

Thanks for the message! Definitely looking forward to picking it up one of these weekends and having some fun riding it around town. Next winter will probably go back to Trafficjamz for some upgrades to the front end and rear shock. Just can't leave anything alone...

Build itself is done (motor part of it anyway - only thing remaining is fine tuning - although Trafficjamz can probably tell you in more detail!).

What's going on now are all the little things (lights, blinkers, mirrors, etc) to make it fully street legal.

did you send me the bulb housing yet?

I got the bulb.....but no housing :sad:


Mirrors and front brakepads should be added to the list of parts.

I rode it to work today. It runs pretty good. :thumbwink:

Trafficjamz - Sent the bulb housing last week - I'll have to look up the tracking # and figure out what happened. I'll also order some brake pads and mirrors.

Thanks!

just waiting on parts to finish.

The scooter runs great, and it is fairly quiet if not @ WOT. :smile:
