i so much like the front end of the buddy with the factory lights it looks like a giant ant

I know i'm not the only one these don't have to be performance mods people

Well, I plan to add mine soon... I just have been in a whirlwind of non-scooter-related busyness.

Also I've got a couple more small "mods" that I'd like to do before I take the time to get all photojournalistic on you guys.

You can change your post later on. What, did you think I was done?

Well I don't think I'll ever be "done", but it's a real mess right now. Just been really busy and scooting around like a madman and generally abusing
the Bud. I at least need to clean it up or something. I could make a list of stuff I've done with no pictures, but that would be worthless.

Here's my short list:


Painted foot rests



No more chrome insert



Painted rear turn signal housings and black rear rack



Stebel Compact Nautilus air horn



Silverstar headlight (that's the OEM bulb, tho)



Deadlights to running lights/flashers



LED rear turn signals



Prima pipe (and upjet to 95)



Dr. Pulley 10g sliders (those are the OEM rollers)

I'll have to get some pictures together.

07 Buddy 50cc
dr pulley rollers
05 zuma front brembos with brembo pads
ncy front forks
pilot scoot tires
fly racing alum bars
rattler 110 bar riser
emission delete
custom 12 bar
ncy rear brakes
center stand delete
integrated headlight with cut off switch
steel braided front brake line
kn air filter
stock exhaust
stock bore
ill put pictures up in a few.

Besides painting the footrests black, all I've done is painted a few little hardware pieces (screws and bolts) a snazzy anodized purple color. I like it kind of a lot actually, and I'll probably do a few more. Been thinking about doing it to the front chrome badge thing, but I don't know how much I'll like that...it might be overkill?
Pics!

Windshields and racks count as mods too! I'm surprised how striking the purple bolts are, when you were describing
them I was like what the heck is he talking about, but I really like it. I think it especially looks good with the seafoam.

And I got one more mod done today, painted my rusty mirrors! Those Zuma mirrors are going back up in the attic.
Now I'm just waiting on my tires and I gotta find a gasket for the Prima and I'll be set!

Chrome:
Headset
Front fender
Front rack
Rear rack
Automotive door edging

Pink bike horn
Black grips
Black seat (Jolly Roger seat cover when it's out in the rain)
Prima medium windshield
Black heart mirrors
Removed the lobster tail
Moved the stock turn signals in

Connected the headlight to its switch
Prima pipe
Tighter variator spring
Upjetted to 96 (I think 100 will be better)
Stebel Nautilus horn



Chrome:
Front fender
Legshield guard
Cowl protectors (Footrests cut off)
Folding front rack
Folding rear rack (springs lubed & tightened to eliminate rattling)
Bajaj "mooneyes" hubcaps

Whitewall tires
Pink bandanna "handgrip" on rear rack

Upjetted to 98

Only thing I've done so far is added the rear rack and a cargo box.

I like the idea of painting the foot rests and rear light housing black. Might have to look into that

And the SPAZ sticker!

Front chrome rack
Rear chrome rack
Rear basket
Windshield
Stebel Magnum horn
Painted interior & back fender panels black
Cat & paw decals

ScooterTrash: I'm intrigued by the center-stand pin, but haven't figured out the (obvious?) benefit of it. Can you elaborate?

Here's my little touch on my BlackJack...was begging to be done.

hmm.... I never thought about painting that grille....I wonder how mine would look silver. I've got some stuff done to mine, but I need to take new pics.

Have to say that the paw print/cat decal is absotively mega cool, looks very sharp!

Very sharp, friend. I really like your LED underlights. Have to admit that you've got me thinking maybe I should've gone with red instead of cold white like I did. Very cool looking scooter you have there.

Chrome racks and rails, front fender & headpiece
led underlights and deadlights wired for running lights
next thing is to work on some forward lights and mirrors to tip the hat to the mod 'quadrophenia' style
