Interesting!
It looks like you got a stretch out of it also.
How did you get 14" wheels to fit on a long case 125cc?
What size tires are you running?
I am looking to cram a 125cc into my ruckus clone r-trike. Scoots are rare around where I live and pieces/parts to make things out of are even more rare.

The engine is an Aprilia 125 , it came with the 14" wheels.. |

Good find! They must have an 'extra long' long case engine. At least some manufacturer has figured out that tiny wheels fall into potholes. St Louis has the same pothole making weather as KC does. Streets in KC suck.
Any tips on searching craigslist etc for junk scoots that don't come up with hundreds of mobility scooters? LOL

Another Black beauty.
Looks WAY better than mine!
I like the foot pegs and the muffler.
Mine isn't stretched, the engine sits farther forward.
Vacuum pumps look a lot like vacuum petcocks but there is a difference. My pump(s) ride right down on the left side between the tank and the valve cover. I have an electric unit to run in parallel with the vac unit to help it start after I run it out of gas. The vacuum pumps take forever to get a prime and pressurize the system.
I think one can get a piece of tread plate for the gas tank cover. I have also seen expanded metal units. I am still using my OEM plastic but split in half so it comes off and on easy. My fuel tank rides on studs that I cap with acorn nuts.
