Does anyone know where to get the brackets that Custom used to move the motor back. I love this look and would like to do it to my scooters. I do require no welding (the brackets Custom used look like no welding was necessary).
2 reasons for doing it;
longer wheelbase means better stability on the road,
setting motor back like that gives easy access to the motor without removing plastic.

actually, I'm trying to make myself every parts in this project, without buying finished products (saving money and bigger is pleasure).
So, yes, I've made those 'adapters', using steel bars, heating on the edges. After that I press edges on squeezer, to make flat area for screws. Also, on the part of the frame where was the factory subframe (before distancing), I have put steel tube with steel screw for lateral reinforcement.
Everything is well tighten and works better than factory
Here are closer pics:

Very nice work on this build. You have a great eye for detail. I look forward to seeing more.

Hi guys, haven't been here long...
So, situations is as follows- I've destroyed all body work. Yup. Everyone told me that I'm fool, but I desided to do that because that was the only thing that could make me to do next step:



Those aren't merged stock body parts. I've made full custom body in one piece from fiberglass.
The surface is colored because I was adding white paint as additive.

At the top of the tail you can see 2 'turbines' - that will be air filters with the possibility of adjusting the flow of air.
Goal is to get old school japanese look, low as f*ck
As you can see on pics, rear rim is tooked from old Lancia. It's a 13'' rim, wide 6'', but the middle of the rim is customized on CNC machine so that can be mounted on shaft.
Machine is from Yamaha Aerox, so now I will also have rear disc brake.
Front rim is also tooked from Yamaha Aerox.
I polished all aluminum parts to chrome effect.








Frame is chopped, and at this moment I'm making mono swingarm and reinforcement for the shaft and engine - update will be soon. Scooter is streched about 40 centimeters compared to stock.
Exhaust is customized, so it will have side pipe look.

Generally, from the stock scooter i kept nothing, just half of frame.

And one pic for the end of this post - mounted old tyre for test, and here is streched look of rear end




Cheers

That thing is insane! You must love sanding or at least have a much higher tolerance for it than most of us. lol Everything looks top notch. Really nice work. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Wow! That is sick! Keep us posted please.

LOOKS good!

I take it this is a show only type build?
I noticed the support bearing removed from the CVT cover and figured with all the work it wont be riden much.

[custom]

Thanks!
Well, I've sanded all by hands, so it was painful

2strokd - this type of engine does not have support bearing on CVT cover. My stock engine have it, but this transmission and shaft is little bit different. That's the only reason why I dared to cut CVT cover like this.
This thing will be for some weekend slow rides with pleasure, but tuned also for midnight street races

I see now. Thanks for the input.

Ummm..... I'm at loss for words....
