I just got back from my local Scooter shop Scooter Invasion. The owner Seth called Brett at Genuine while I was there & was told accessories are in!
They just got in & will take a couple days to be put into their stocking system then be shipped out to dealers.
I ordered my windshield, locking trunk(which I believe requires & comes w/ a chrome, black, or pink rack to be mounted on ), & a front chrome rack. They should be in the shop then on my Scoot sometime next week.
Woo Hoo! Oh happy day! Frenchy will be so happy with a windshield and also to have the back rack so I can install my Givi topcase and brake light kit!! Thanks for the update!
monky, did you get the blak 125 at invasion?
the orange 125 will be mine on saturday after almost 3 weeks of wrassling with the financial aid dept at PC... as cool as the cats are at scootover, seth and co. have been proper in their own right...
Yup, I got my Black125 from ScootInv. They're good folks...& the shop is about 2 blocks from my house
Congrats on your Buddy, I hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying mine.
I've never been to Scootover,but I have to head down to Tucson this AM for some Union business so maybe I'll get over there & check it out.
I just called Genuine and they told me next week. So, they must have improved their supply line because the waiting time is now one week instead of two
Does anyone know of any dealr with accessories in stock yet? I am on a notification list here in Minnesota. But the Genuine rep told me two week about a month ago. I really want the rear locking case and I would like to see the new longer mirrors they are going to make available.

"It'll just be a couple of weeks"......
They are in the Chicago warehouse and will be shipped to USA dealers via the orient express.

Can I install the windshield myself or does the dealer have to do it?
You should be able to install the windshield.
Did you order directly from Genuine? If so, how? The accessories aren't on the Genuine or Scooterworks sites (which both need updating!).

BoneGirl (should I be calling you that?)
That looks GREAT!!
Did you get those way cool parts from the dealer?????
Does that mean the accessories are in????
and why is your date stamped sep 15?
edit: my date is stamped sep 15 .... missed a day somewhere
Bonegirl or Angie is fine. Metro Scooter, where I purchased the Buddy, has the accessories in. The windshields were shipped to them from Chicago as well and will be in tomorrow. That's the only other thing I need right now. We are going to try to ride once it gets colder so I think I want the bigger windshield to give me a little more protection. I like the smaller one but the larger one looks like it will protect my fingers a little better from the cold.
As a side note, I paid $109/top case and $49.95/black rear rack.
Also took a brief ride a second ago and the top case lid rattles a little. I'm going to check with the dealer and ask about it before I put a layer of something between the lid and bottom to keep them from doing this.
Just wanted to say again that the Pink Trunk looks great!
And I'm glade to hear the news of the parts have finaly arrived.
I was also spying that rear rack I think I want one, but no trunk for me.
By the way my wife has a People 150 and opted for the full size windshield because the dealer recommended the full over the smaller one – he said that only the larger one offers any protection – the wife has been very happy with that decision.
Sweet! Thanks a lot for telling me about her windshield.
I think the case will come in handy for some fun trips we take to craft shows, farmers markets, etc. We are driving the truck to the Rally with the scoots in a trailer but now that I have the case I could easily pack a bunch of stuff and take a weekend trip and be able to carry all my gear.
I picked up my orange topcase and black rack today from Metro Scooter also. I noticed the rattle on the way home from there. I think too that it must be the lid hitting the bottom. Some foam around the edge may do the trick. Let me know what Seth says.
The pink top looks almost as good as my orange one
The only rack Seth had in today was the black and I was thinking about the chrome. I also wasn't sure about the flat black. My husband wants the black in the front and back so we just decided to get it and let me try it this weekend. I still want to check out the chrome when I stop back in Metro next week. The black looks really good on yours...and the top case...can we call it a draw for now?
I wasn't too excited at first about the black on the back of the top case but it will definately keep the color from getting all scratched up from passengers, backpacks, fanny packs, etc. I'm guessing that has something to do with it. It's just a hard plastic with a grain to it.
I bought a couple rolls of reflective tape at Walmart (also Meijer or other big store) one is 1 1/2" wide and the other 1". I also found sheets of reflective paper at a local hardware store. The red piece on the back of the top case is some kind of tacky feeling material that doesn't seem to be reflective. I'm going to remove it and replace with white reflective that should really show up well at night!
I am looking forward to seeing the windshields. I have a serious aversion to cold weather, so extra wind protection is a "must have" for me. Guess it's time to contact my local dealer and see if/when he's getting some accesories in...
What are the dimensions of the topcase? I'm looking for something to haul groceries, and am thinking a basket might be better. What do you think; how much would the topcase hold?
The top case holds my full face helmet and nothing else if that gives you a clue. My husband plans on getting both but I like the look of my Buddy without stuff hanging off the front. Until I need more room I'm gonna' try just the top case for now.
