New Buddy 170i Owner and Member

Hello All.
Purchased a new 'scoot Saturday at the local dealer. Traded a Honda Elite 80 that I'd owned since new in 2004. Also own a 2008 Honda Silverwing for long rides.
Just returned the 'scoot to have the rear brake repaired. The drum feels oval. Should get it back late this week.
'Scoot has ~30 miles and I'm following the Buddy break-in suggestions.
Have added the rear rack and windshield from Buddy.
Have had very good fortune with aftermarket spring/dampers and will probably try them on this 'scoot. Also want to add the rear bodywork protection tubing and a front rack. With the addition of a rear basket, the 'scoot should be ready for the "truck" duties I expect my 'scoots to perform.
Love to load up a 'scoot, 2nd-world style and leave the car/pickup at home for much larger loads.'
Open to suggestions that have made the Buddy an even better 'scoot from the membership.
Greg

Welcome to Modern Buddy, Greg! It's a nice place to hang with lots of info to be had.

You might want to check out the Technical Library if you haven't already.

Thanks Syd.
Yes, that subsection is nice information for Buddy owners that like to work on 'scoots themselves. I'm in that group!
