Thanks Brent. I thought about that. I'm going to be ordering new forks, caliper and rotor so I think I'll do a lever that color matches the front end stuff to try and tie it all together. I did a lot of sanding 250-1200 grit on the outer rim rings just to get rid of the crud and factory turning rings and I'm about over that for awhile. Lol

Since I had such good luck with Duplicolors wheel coating I thought I go ahead and get rid of the last of the red on the scoot. I ordered a black and red Triton GT5 seat because I liked the two tone buy things change. I got some flat black Duplicolor vinyl paint and sprayed the red area. It's not as dark as the rest of the seat but better than it being the only thing left red. The paint worked well and so far I'm happy with their products. I have no idea how durable any of it is however. I have another seat and bucket that I have an idea for a single seat with a cowl rear. Still planning that and I have no clue how to shape or mold anything but you gotta start somewhere and it might as well be with extra scooter parts.  |

Got the new levers and master cylinder in and put on and bled. They are nice with a lot more travel. I also just figured out the mobile photo bucket app. Well sort of. The pics are above and there are two of the same. Lol

Thank you. I do ride it. I just enjoy being in the garage wrenching on it as much as riding it. I'm a sick person and I know it!  |

My forks, caliper, 220mm rotor and shock are on a plane 1/2 way around the world. Got to get the Triton back together and sold to make some room. Come on parts!

Went right to work. I had ordered some .5mm aluminum shim material to mount the fork since they are 1mm smaller. Everything has to be done in the correct order because the caliper will not slide on the large rotor if attached to the adapter. I'm working out the spacing now. Man I wish I had a center stand. I rested the belly pan on my circular saw case. A pain when things start moving and twisting while trying to align the axle, spacers and holes. Thanks to Scoobnz for the parts hook up! More to do and figure out after work.  |

Damn, that is a really nice set up! All Billet and looks high quality! Hopefully I will get my bike running decent then I can dress it up.

Looks real good!
I gotta ask, is that stuff available separate or do you have to buy it all as a package?
Do you mind sharing the info toward a purchase on those? Looks like very nice stuff!

They sell the forks alone. Not sure about the brakes but I'm sure they could. I bought the rear shock and frame bar separate. They are an aliexpress store. Great prices, fast shipping and very helpful.
