The front driven pulley. Aftermarket ones usually give you better performance.

Wow...I just purchased a Black Cat last night and stripped off the stickers. After seeing yours I want to paint my yellow panels. Can you provide a tutorial on how you painted yours with details focusing on what paint was used, type of sandpaper grit, etc.? Anything advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here are a few pics of what I have come up with so far.
I had thought about covering everything in carbon fiber but it would have been to costly.
This is a cheaper alternative.
I wanted to tone the yellow down while still keeping with the original color combination.

This is at 14 miles. Got over 850 now. And yes, I painted the goofy warnings. Got tired of people ridiculing me... "Hey kid, where's your mommy?".

I'm inspired by Mrs.Spaceman and am getting ready to do a custom paint job. Maybe a nice winter camouflage pattern. Because everyday is a battle.

Update: scooter tag shot from another forum.

my brother has his ATV wrapped in that kind of stuff - looks pretty cool (if you are into it)

Ah, cool. Thanks for the links! I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

Image

I've been going back and forth between white, black, and gray/silver on the paint color. Since I can't make up my mind... winter camo it is. Ya, a kit would be really easy.

That would look pretty sweet. Or... you could paint it silver and/or black and buy a camo seat cover from me :wink:
