My Mod Series Italia: UPDATED
A work in progress:
Still to come:
* one or more spots/bullet lights on the luggage rack
* maybe a few more stadium mirrors (which will be equally as useless as the ones already added)
* Prima exhaust
* chrome fender crest

Re: My Mod Series Italia
Did you wire in your dead lights to be blinkers/running lights?DouglasLive wrote:* one or more spots/bullet lights on the luggage rack
It would be cool if you did PLUS get some smaller spot/bullet lights
on the rack too like you said, maybe even one on your front fender...
HECK YEAH! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!

You know, I didn't. I figure any lights mounted on the rack will be purely for show -- just like the mirrors.KRUSTYburger wrote:Did you wire in your dead lights to be blinkers/running lights?
Gee, I thought we had more Mod fans on here, but lack of comments say otherwise. Personally, I think it looks great!

If you like it's looks, that's what counts. Enjoy yourself. But if you wanna please everyone else, that's never gonna happen.

But then I never liked the original 60's Vespa P mods with all that chrome and junk weighing them down either... The best one can say is I enjoy the eccentricity of them, just as I enjoy the 'oddness' of rat bikes. But I wouldn't ride around on one, myself.
Namaste,

Mod, ain't your thing, huh?ScooterTrash wrote:Yuck sorry
Funny thing about the horns -- although they both came off the same rack at Wal-Mart, one right after the other, they're tuned differently! One definitely has a lower tone than the other. Sounds like two geese fighting with each other.KRUSTYburger wrote:I like the HORNS! I was thinkin about hooking up some sort of crazy horn system...
And for those questioning the addition of horns, they're a pretty standard Mod accessory:

And honestly, who is cooler than Sting in Quadrophenia?

I have no idea how I missed this post, dude. I would have instantly commented with WOW!!! I LOVES IT!!! I am chuckling a bit at the BSI insignia, though. Teehee! I'm really into the checkerboard on your windshield. Hmm....
I have a pink horn, and I like how you have two. But see, I like to actually honk my horn at friends...it's less annoying than honking my for-real horn at them. I haven't hooked it up to my front rack because of that -- right now, it's dangling precariously from the left turn signal.
I bought a bunch of mirrors for my scooter, too. Black hearts! And I got some rectangular ones instead of the trapezoids, but I don't like how they looked last year. Maybe I'll try again?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
