Question #1....WHERE did ya get the Roketa AIR R50?? I have 3 customers asking me to find one...and I can't find them anywhere on the net. Only one place..Power Ride Outlet lists them and has out of stock on them since they got them in January! Also...nice job on the seat mod!  Told ya those seats were uncomfy...they are the same ones most TaoTao..Roketa and a few Jonways use. Chinese think we are all either 5' 2" or 6' tall...lol.. Those seats are literally a pain in the @ss. You either sit up front and get cramped legs...or sit on the back so high in the air ya get a nose bleed.  Again where did you get it? Got a link etc? I know many that want one and in fact one guy calls me 2-3 times a week to ask if I have one. Yet I keep coming up with nothing..  Thanks, Glenn Local shop in town has 4 new and 1 used but said they can no longer get then cause they are 2 stroke and its hard to get them shipped from overseas. You may could get one shipped to you. |

Thanks fellas! They look better in the pics- my downfall when it comes to painting is patience. There's a few little rubs/messups that are all the result of me not giving everything enough time to dry before handling. Still purtier than it was!

Got some more goodies from PartsforScooters. I must say Damn they ship fast! I ordered these Sun. night late-after midnight and they arrive Tuesday afternoon!  A turbofan since I read Brent's writeup on how good they perform, Intake with fiberglass reed valves after reading ScoobNZ Boation Rocky build thread (plus it has an extra port for boost bottle  ) and of course new handgrips for my cosmetic kick I've been on lately. Seems like all the best nuggets of info are hidden in the build threads |

Looks good! What's the story with that left brake lever? Is it rubber! Lol Haha Idk what the deal is with that thing I gues the PO must've bent it like that? I kinda thought these were pot metal and assume it would just break... Does feel good to the hand though |

It'll break if you try to bend it back.

That's exactly what it reminds me of 2strokd- I been thinking I need to get at least one Polini part so I can have a Polini sticker and not be a poser lol. |

Spent an hour wrestling with the clutch to install the yellow 1.5k clutch springs. This clutch hasn't been touched since brand new and it was a total bear breaking all the factory torques on the clutch nut etc. I almost gave up at one point and was just going to start drilling to lighten the clutch shoes but persistence prevailed. I scuffed the shoes a bit and added a tiny spacer to the boss to get the belt a tiny bit more room to seat all the way down. Expecting a wheelie monster for my ride to work tomorrow! Haha.

I think I will try the fiberglass petals in my stock intake to see if there's any noticable difference |
