Which accessories do you have on your Buddy?
I just got my brown Prima bag and am waiting for my rear rack to come in. I'm so excited! I really want to get a tan seat and the Prima exhaust next.

Chrome back rack
Matching top case
Walmart cup holder
Medium size Genuine windscreen
My wish list for when I get the cash:
Wicker front basket
Wicker back basket
Additional lighting of some sort (I am still looking in to what the options are and what my scooter can handle)
You didn't ask, but gear that also was purchased specifically for my Buddy (as opposed to just for riding on any scooter):
Corazzo scooter skirt
The wish list:
Battery operated (I don't trust my Buddy's electrical system) heated gloves

They come with the cowl protectors (and we're already on the scooter when I bought it... lucky me). You can see them here.michelle_7728 wrote:Hey Skootz Kabootz,

Shortest answer (for me) is to point you to this thread... in general, they've given my scooter more get up and go off the line and more sustained power going up hills. They're a recent addition so I'm still observing how the mod's settle in and what the exact changes ultimately turn out to be.Ms_Kady wrote:Ooh...that's quite a list!

If you read the package, I bet it specifically states that they are for off road use only.Lil Buddy wrote:Just a heads up about those, they may cause your tire to lose pressure.... pretty much instantly.rajron wrote:The dealer gave me these valve stem lights –

I got a package as a gift and put them on my daughter's bicycle instead of my scooters. She likes them and even if she did suddenly loose air pressure she never rides her bike fast enough for it to be a problem.

I've thought about this because someday I'd like to take on 161cc kit but I'd at the same time I'd also like a MC someday.

Since I do all my work myself, I think its been around $500. It would have been a LOT more with labor if I had to have someone else do it.
I don't think I'll ever stop modding it honestly, I've had that problem with all my cars. They get to the point that they're barely streetable drag cars, then I buy another one and start over. My daily driver before my Buddy is now a 550HP Pro Street drag car
Honestly though, I would (likely) stop at the point that it majorly impacted the reliability of the bike, I still have to get to work on it. Beyond that, I enjoy modding to the point of absurdity

I began tinkering with cars as soon as I was able to drive and can install most bolt ons (headers, exhaust, etc) on my own.
I decided to go German after college and got my hands on an E46 BMW M3. That car was so beautifully balanced around curves and corners and the S54 motor sang beautifully to me on the PCH during late night drives. I had 333hp on that and was ready for more, torque in particular (BMW has never really been great in that department).
I'm now pushing over 500hp with over 450 lbs of torque and I love every single drop.

Actually, that's not coming from my M3, lol. I sold it and got an E63 AMG.Kaos wrote:Holy crap, thats a LOT outa a little M3! Thats got to be a fantasticly fun little rideMs_Kady wrote:[

I decided not to mod the M3 because the S54 motor is a high compression engine and does not respond well to turbos or SC's. It's doable, but the lifespan is short.
