Man. they look so nice! How can people say the body doesn't work well with a stretch? Complete poppycock. I could have gotten a ruckus but everyone has a freakin ruckus. I'll have that stretched bracket by Tuesday. I'll post some pictures when I'm done. The bracket was custom made for me. Cost me $85 shipped. Fits any standard GY6 50cc frame/engine. Yeah, some of them look pretty good. That's a pretty good price for a custom made stretch. You've thought about all the cable and wires, right? Re-routing will help some of them but I don't know about your brake cable; if you'll have enough. Not a real big deal. If you're careful you can run it for a bit until you get a longer one. Running naked bars help as well. Can't wait to see the pics! |

Yeah I've thought about the cables. I guess I'll find out if it'll work. Thought about flipping the carb around for that cable. Not sure about the rear brake though. I'll make it work   |

Finally got my stretched bracket on today. Only 4 inches but that's ok with me. SO much more comfortable. I don't feel like I'm sliding forward off the seat anymore.  |

Looks real good. I actually think that motor looks a bit better stretched than the 2t motor because it's a bit longer and helps fill that big gap made by the stretch.
Is that bottle right above the pipe some sort of crank case breather? It looks like that hose goes down into the dipstick tube..?
I like the graphics on your skid lid too.

Yeah that little mini muffler look-alike is a crankcase vent. Scrappydogscooters. Seems like it would work. I didn't want to take a chance on blowing a seal. Mitigation is important to me bro. I have a scoop installed now too. Probably strictly cosmetic but it looks nice. That brain bucket came with the bike. Not sure if it was a separate purchase but when the bike was given to me it was there. looks better than a plain one I guess. |

Naked handlebars are next (after I tune the CVT and carb).

DLH performance variator and kevlar belt on the way. Several different roller weights as well. Probably take an entire day to tune this thing like I want it. Got some grips to match all that "red" in the rear. Lookin kinda funny right now. Need some balance with the color scheme. Probably going to take that fender/flap/license plate mount off the back...might look better without that.

Yeah, get rid of that fender. Much cleaner look without it. Maybe you can find a tire huger that will either bolt on or something that you can modify.
The oil light for mine is for the oil reservoir. Let's me know when it's getting low and that I need to add more to it. It was a real pita to check it with the body work installed. But now I'm going premix so it doesn't matter anymore.

Oh I see. It's a 2 stroke with an oil pump. I had a jon-way like that. I snatched the pump off and sealed the ports. Just premixed it. Scoot was stolen. Oh well. The one I currently own is a 4 stroke.

You can get much more performance out of a 2t than a 4t with way less money. Dump $500 in a 2t and performance is insane. $500 on a 4t won't do near as much for you. Kinda wish I still had that jon-way. eh...oh well. Like I said, it was a gift so I'm not complainin'.  |

And that is why I love them so much!
On the other hand, you'll save yourself a lot of grief with the coppers. I get pulled over a lot which gets old real quick.
