That is a great looking scooter you have there.
How does it handle on the jumps, is it front or rear heavy?

Thanks Marshinman,
It actually flies very straight and level for a rear engine vehicle. The only problem I had is with my feet coming off the floorboard when I landed, that and the front suspension is not even close to being able to handle the abuse. I hope to have some new shocks coming from TW this winter.

What about adding some foot pegs to it that are slightly behind where you sit to keep you feet in place.
Shock tubes from a small bike like a Honda XR75 may work for you scooter. I am pretty sure that the 83 thru 85 model XR75's use a shock tube with a the same OD, while the length will be too long you can have them cut down and cut the recoil spring down to match.

Very nice. What's the difference in top speed from stock till now? Sounds like it should be big with those mods.

Top speed don't really increase much once you get past 60mph, although it does get there ALOT quicker.
I think I can get it to touch 70 on a good day on a hill with a windshield but once you reach 55mph the wind resistance becomes so strong you have to double your hp for every 10mph thereafter (land speed wind tunnel scooter testing).

Angies bike has always been special. Those blackjacks can flat out get out and move.
