Here's a glimpse of my recent project - adding a Roughhouse headset and off road lights to a Buddy. I need to add a light bar to spread the Hellas out a little and do some paint work, but you get the jist of it. It's gonna be sweet!
The next step will be trail tech gauges and a Rattler like naked handlebar setup.

I know you've put a lot of work into this because it's your style and you obviously like that style. But I'm more of a traditionalist and I've always liked the Buddy's retro style single headlight. To me, twin headlights seem more off road but the Buddy has a classic street scooter look not unlike the Vespa which is about as classic as you can get. So personally while I admire your handiwork I know it's your thing but it's not my thing. But, if we were all of the same thought and mind, the world would be a pretty boring place wouldn't it?

Like to see a side profile. Have fun with it, thats what scooters are for! Looks interesting from the front. Getting a bug-eye set-up from a Zuma would have saved some work. You can find them for fair prices when someone swaps to a JDM assembly.
Here's a couple more pics after some tweaking. The BlackCat gauges have grown on me. I'm not so sure about the low signals now, I may paint the covers and go to handlebar mounted turn signals.
............ If anyone has any doubts to why, here's what I drive.
I'm digging it. I was thinking about doing something similar but in addition to the current headlight. I think I'm already taxing the electronics though. :/
I'm currently designing a light mount to mount a 7" led light bar on my Rough house so I can see them potholes like the one i hit a few weeks ago. Got access to a 3d printer so it should be nice!
