Title: Upgrades for my scooter
Post by: Adam_W on May 28, 2009, 03:49:19 PM

For just $190, I've managed to make my little 50cc scooter almost run like a Harley  :sluff; . I just finished putting a performance exhaust system and new computer controlled ignition system on it. I took it for its test ride after putting the new parts on, and it ran like a bat out of hell! I was cruising at 50mph on level ground, and still had power in reserve. It also sounds a bit like a Harley. This performance boost will really help in situations where I have to switch lanes to pass a traffic jam or a bus. I prefer to stay in the far right lane whenever possible, and being able to have enough power to switch lanes, pass the slower traffic, and get back where I want to be on the road will be very helpful. Here are pics of the old exhaust, followed by the new.

Awesome.  I upgraded an odometer and a flag on my new Big Wheel bicycle.  I almost bought a pink flower for the handlebars!
