Flip #18- Another 2t Legend! Yamaha Jog "Artistic Spec"

[niz76]

  Ok, I got this Jog 99% complete. It still needs a battery and a gas cap...
Finished a few details and it's turned out to be a decent lil' scoot!

I fixed up the cut wires of one turn signal...




Re-welded the signal bracket....




...and painted it.



Next, I focused my attention on the access panel since I can't seem to locate one in the whole wide world!




...then I added a decal to it. Decals make everything look more legit!




I didn't take any pics, but I modified a set of mirrors to fit the large (10mm?) female threads on the Jog. I was going to order a pair of mirrors since I only have the 8mm thread ones, but I'm impatient so I just cut the end off some 10mm bolts and welded them to the ends of the mirrors. Voila! You'd never know! Came together pretty nicely I think...




I gotta give Upgrayedd a shout out on this one as I accidentally bought a "tube type" tire for the front and it didn't stay seated. Upgrayedd suggested I give Slime a try and I did. It's been like 10 days and all is well!



I made a Youtube vid of the two Jogs- I sold the black and purple one tonight. I posted this vid in the other Jog thread but I figured I'd put it in this one too since both scoots are featured in the vid. I will be asking $600 for this 'Artistic Spec'.  Enjoy!

I saw one like the pipes one going down the road yesterday. Still nothing worth buying over here. Nice job Niz!

Nice lookin' Jogs there Mate

[niz76]

Thanks for the kind words fellas!
IDK what exactly to think about this but I got a text from someone begging me to hold the scoot until tomorrow. I told them I can't really hold it (since people are so unreliable)- first $600 takes it. He said he'd pay $700 for it if I hold it until tomorrow night... weird! Kinda interesting though... We shall see what happens!

Another crazy dude with sandals on a fast scooter. lol

Curious, those tail lights, are those mandatory in where you live?
I thought those old Jogs have the tail lights build in in the rear.
And what did you put in them? Just a BBK? No carb? No CVT stuff?

It's kinda weird on these Jogs- when u take the rear end apart there is molded in holes where the bulbs would attach for brakelight and signals, but the plastic pieces are totally opaque from the factory! Those luggage racks u see are stock. I actually put a Dellorto 17.5 in the black and purple jog but just because the stock one was fubard-85 mj. The blue and tan is stock carb-upjetted to a 90 mj. Both are totally stock CVT. In fact, I didn't even open the CVT cover on either one of these scoots...

  Wow putting that video up really helped in selling this scoot. I got like 5 msgs. today people wanting to buy it. One fellow says he'll be here in an hour and wonders if I can tune the CVT for him to do wheelies haha. I'm gonna give it a shot...

Its always great to talk scoot, screw american language

[birdman]

Very nice! Your doing the scooter game a real justice.

[niz76]

Wow What a crazy scooter day! Happy to say the scoot is SOLD!
Can you believe that after dealing with yahoos on the phone all day offering $400 and $500, then $550, and some other guy who was gonna get a taxi here and drive the scoot home and then another fella from an hour north was about to head down.... I got a text from the guy who offered the extra $100 if I'd hold it until tonight and he came and bought it! He actually showed up! Awesome. SOLD for $700!

[tsimi]

$700 is a bargain for that scooter! Including a BBK and pipe and a nice body polish.
Well done niz76!

So now let's talk about more important things...like...what parts are you gonna buy with all that money you got now?
You know you have to invest fast before the wife takes it all.
