Looks great! :thumb: I especially like the wheels. I've considered doing mine just like that, as a tribute to my favorite bikes ever the Yamaha R6-R1 Raven. :drool: Wishing I had done it already now. Nice touch on the fan cover too.
What kind of cold air intake have you designed?

That scoot rocks !!
What is the color? It looks like a late 90's Triumph color. Beautiful whatever it is.

geee, thanks guys... the color is "high gloss epoxy enamel" from walmart. i was going dor something like a sport bike because the original color was gonna be like a kawasaki kx dirtbike (lime greenish) but the powerline marking paint i used would never dry and needed a bright backing to work so i went with some "honda" look alike color. the kawi theme would have been super legit though, i was gonna out fake stickers and everything. lol and the wheels i got the idea from "the raven" i didnt know the bike specifically till brent called it by name but i had seen the design and it looked super sporty, almost "euro" ?? i had it on my spec v sentra for a while too so i had some left over.

and the cai, the basis of the idea is the elbow from the stock intake with a scrappydog filter on the end with a shroud to scoop colder air, not the hot air right there by the engine. its still in development though...

probably will paint the bracket black too so the pipe liiks like its jus floating in a way then heat wrap the header part to keep heat to a minimum near by the fan shroud providing a better cooling experince for my little engine... lol

I had to go up something like 15-20% on main jet size with an open air filter last time I used one. With the filter and pipe I'd probably just start 20% larger than the stock jet and go from there.

It's amazing what these Tritons look like when you put a little bit of work into them. This one is amazing. All you used was some paint and reflective stickers?
