Recently Dropped Buddy 125

[scooterbro]

So the other night I slid on gravel and ended up with some damage on my buddy. I am fine, thank goodness but my muffler seems cracked, my mirrors are toast and there is some body damage but not too much to the scooter.

I thought this might be a good time to upgrade parts. I always felt the rear tire was a bit "thin" looking for some direction on a chunkier tire for more traction.

Any recommendations for the muffler?

Has anyone attempted an update to the headlight assembly similar to what "Mitch" has done on his youtube channel to his Piaggio?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

About the muffler. Depending on where it's cracked, a muffler shop might be able to weld it up. Is it cracked at the flange or where the muffle meet the pipe, or is it along one of the pieces.

If you want a good replacement, Deedee has a Prima pipe for sale here on the forum.

I just helped a friend replace the muffler on his Vino. Same story as yours.

Be aware that the impact on the muffler may have knocked your mounting points out of line or even bent an exhaust stud. If so, you will have to get that sorted out before the new muffler will install correctly.

Good luck,

Be sure you post on the "who's crashed" thread.

Thanks guys. The exhaust cracked right where the weld is connecting the pipe to the muffler. Also lost a left brake handle which I am in the process of replacing right now.
