Spot on

Post by slotrod65 »

Hey guys,
After a year and a half of work, my Stella 4T is finally getting close to what I want it to look like. I finally got my mirrors and spotlights and have them mounted up. I still need to paint the wheels and install the white walls, but I M just about there:

Very sharp looking! The level of detail and quality of finish is impressive. :D
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Thanks guys,

I was a bit disappointed as the outside pair if spots did not arrive from England in time for my local club's ride out last weekend. Although the rear lights are all wired up as turn signals and brake lights, I still need to convert the spots to LED and wire them. Below are a couple of pics from the event:

Nice :)

What happened to the 'VOX' emblem? Is it hidden behind other bling?

The VOX badge is still there. It is slightly hidden by one of the blue Notek spotlights, and some by glare. This was a very sunny and quite hot day for a blazer...

I sure have:

Ramair 40mm foam air filter.
GPR exhaust system
TASSO Orange coil - HT Coil Hi Power with plug cap - Part No: VE50053
Jets: 43 idle and 93 main,
Plug: AOR14LGS Brisk High Performance Motor Cycle Special Silver Electrode Spark Plug

I get better mid range, esp going up hills.

That's all you can really do except add a 166 head, and I really am not up for that.
