Mostly finished, just a few minor things left to do. I should have taken a pic of the other side, but didn't have time. Will take some more. Pic of other side.

Yep, actually all 4 of them are flat. It's my wife's car. I usually keep them filled, but kind of spaced it off over the winter. Guess I need to get out the compressor. ;D

Here's what's been done so far. Michelin Pilot Sport tires, rims painted black, MRP throttle, Pro Grip grips, blue anodized bar ends, blue anodized valve stem caps, freehanded graphics, custom built exhaust, bobbed rear fender, and overall cleanup. Soon to be done, new shocks, NCY clutch/variator kit, Mikuni flat slide carb w/ UniFilter, and miscellaneous stuff. It was cold for most of the things done, and my camera doesn't like cold weather much, so no process pics.

Thanks RD. I tried to do a good job. I would have really liked to have used the LED taillight I had, Yamaha R6. I might do the mod later this spring or summer.

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the paint, as it's not paint. I used a pressure sensitive vinyl material, cut freehand and applied.

Here's a new pic after the seat was recovered. Doesn't look half bad as far as a color match. ;D

Nice job on the seat Foot. Blend right in where you lowered it. That's a very nice and distinct looking Scoot.

Thanks RD. They did a good job on the seat. It's a much better grade of vinyl than the original, so it seems much firmer, which is good for my chunky rear. I have a few other things to do, but I'm going to enjoy it like this for a while.
