You like the red better than the white? I wanted that red a little darker. It's too hot. The white looked ok but it was a PITA to keep clean. Yes! That red is sick. What paint is that? |

Some stuff from O'Reileys. I put some clear-coat on it. It's flat base coat for Ford.

At one point I'd actually thought about stretching mine but there's only a handful of options for mine. I did end up buying the Keisler 4 inch stretch but as soon as I got it, i knew that I would never use because I think that it'll end up twisting. There's just not enough structural strength. Another (expensive) option was the 6 inch hurricane stretch sold be WeBike. Too much money and by then I was starting to change my mind on which direction I wanted to take my build, which is a street-able circuit bike. Anyway, to me, the best looking stretched zuma had the gy6 150 strapped to it. Somehow that irritates me. Sorry, but I have a lot of contempt for Chinese motors, and that motor in particular because I've seen so many of them with bad crank bearings after just a few thousand miles. The exhaust pipes on them are prone to breakage as well. That's unacceptable to me. The gy6 50 on the other hand holds up much better for some reason. I know this because I used to own a scooter repair shop here in Vegas. Ultimately, it doesn't matter much though what my opinion is because it's your scoot and what makes you happy is really all that matters, right? I'll find that pic of the one I like and post it when I do. It actually looks pretty sick. you wouldn't happen to still have that 4in stretch would ya |

After all that worrying, troubleshooting, swapping parts, cleaning carbs, swapping carbs, HOURS of irritation....it was a clogged fuel filter causing all this grief. Scoot runs like a charm now. |

Where's the video at lol. Yeah right. Seriously though, I was ready to pull my hair out. New data after all of this as well. My scooter has been starving for fuel this whole time. I received an intake manifold intended for a 150cc scooter today. Port matched the spacer gasket and the manifold. The inlet where the carb plugs in was larger than the carburetor. Had to use a smaller hose clamp to make it work. Fixed that issue. Changed the fuel filter out after a lot of irritation. That fixed the backfiring and running like crap at 1/4-1/2 throttle. 0-30mph 6 run average = 14.4 seconds. Top speed 6 run average with and against wind (3 miles) 46.2mph (need a calmer day to test this for these numbers to matter. It was pretty windy.) Considerably more takeoff speed/top speed. Pretty happy with it. Just rode around for about 2 hours after all of this. Smooth sailing (until I take it all apart to install the upgrade. lol.) |

The paint I used on the CVT cover was Dupli-Color flame red. I don't really like it. It looks nice but I wanted something a little darker. Almost a burgundy but not quite. I'll be changing it soon. Found the perfect color.

She's quick!!! I'm jealous Your scoot will freakin fly when you get that 90 installed. What's the cc on that after accounting for the stroke? You'll be on your rear wheel. |

That's almost identical to mine. The bars on the rear are a little different. The inner fender is bigger. Speedo and bars are identical. Awesome looking bike. |
