Paint it like Totoro.

I don't know that.

It is going to be a brighter color all around. I don't want to get run over.
I also happen to have a red LED bar that I will add to the back. Moar litez

Yeah, after I order it. And then I have to put it in. But I also need new transmissoon cooler lines, and need to modify the radiator support to fit the new radiator. And stuff.

Actually, they are $850 new.  :evildude:

So yeah. It runs great AND has a warranty.  :lol: $600 out the door with a temp tag. Apparently, 50cc mopeds require registrations now.

4-stroke, GY6, clone of a Honda

Huh.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I have no idea. Virtually all Chinese scooters 50-150cc use an old Honda design.

It's a black Chinese scooter. Monster decals are necessary.

Doesn't matter. The big neon green slashy stickers are cool and you must install them. Also, a "No Fear" sticker. Or several.

Is No Fear still around?  I don't think I've seen any No Fear stuff in over a decade.
