Forgive me if this has been done before.
All Bikers, past and present, check in here. Pics of your babies too if you don't mind. My baby is a 2011 black and red Kymco Quannon. Will post pics later. I've already put 2500 miles on it since April.

IIRC there was a lengthy thread at one time. No pics atm but I have them somewhere. I had a 1981 Suzuki GS 750, a mid 90s sportster, 82 honda 500, and a fatboy basically on loan from a relative from the 10th grade till graduation lol. No worries, it may be a few years down the road but a HSC is in my future. To hold me over though I am getting a late 90s Vulcan from my aunt for pennies.

Does this count? An anemic 50cc.

Here's a map from that trip.

In the first pic, you might be able to see the bullet turn signals I used to replace the ugly rectangles.
Since that pic was taken I've been working on the carb, rejet. Ordered a new set but the guys at Foothills Motorsports don't know how to order jets, They can order spark plugs but I have to take back the slow jet. It looked close but I gave them back the main jet at the counter because it wasn't even close. Shimmed the diaphragm needle too.
I have a spare exhaust to play with. Needing to match it up to the new jets. Opened up the intake for the same reason. Now the intake it way loud. Even though it accomplishes its goals, I want to quiet it down some.
The secret to tearing into an exhaust and then being able to seal it back up is exhaust putty and copper plumbing parts.
Got a bit of a lag right at the last part of the throttle right now the way it is set up but I'm working on it

I know and I'm adding a tach, homebrew from an AC meter and some stuff. Also adding AM/FM stereo from a 98 Saturn.
All as soon as I finish changing the way it breathes and rebuilding the pool the GF got last year. I may need to go with a bigger battery. Guess I'll be bending up the old battery tray.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
