I do scamping with the work horse. This setup works with any tube frame that the tubes are open at the end. Remove the side and rear panel to see the open tube frame. I bought a 6' 1/2 steel pipe at home depot. Had them cut of 27" off each end. Pound the cut end into the frame as far as it will go. On the treaded end I attached a 1/2 pipe tee with side end facing down. With this setup and 2" U-bolts, you can attached any size box that think you can handle. A great place to find boxes is at a Trailer Supply Store. Lights is up to your own creativeness.

For the front, go to a bicycle shop and find a metal rear rack that you can mount on the front of your scooter.

Looks like it's ready for a round of bumper scoots. That needs to be a NASRA event. ;D

Hey Mech!!! I love that chrome and would do (almost) anything to find it. I have looked and asked questions since the original post on SD. I REALLY want a set of crash bars like those. All three bolt holes are used to connect the front panel. My model only uses the top center bolt. The bottom two are misaligned to the holes on my the frame. Some scoots have a small grill where the Center bolt hole is and use the bottom two to secure it . I assume depending on the manufacture different accessories are available. Just like the crash bars I have never seen a front basket but, I think one could be used with a little Ingenuity. A bicycle shop maybe your best bet to find one that fits.

Nice. The Retro's like mine are cloned from the Honda Shadow/Joker , the name was experimented with I quess. It was never imported to the U.S. , the pictures I have seen of the Honda's have all those chrome crash bars and such. I have searched and found nothing. I would love to get ahold of that trim. Why the Chinese don't clone all the cool stuff too I don't know.

Looks like about the same thing to me. Just one's rounded in the back and one's not. ...And of course one is monkeyless.
