Whiskers only if he paints them in urban camo.

That thing is such a beast. I think every scooter needs a mounted .50 cal, but yours really does.

Looking good Kliff. Very clean. What is the tube running over the top of the CVT cover? It is great to see a custom scoot that is not a Ruckus.

I have to admit I didnt like the looks of things when it was first mocked up. After seeing in completed im impressed. Great work Kliff now if she only drives as good as she looks you may be getting a contract from uncle sam to build 1000 just like it!

Thanks guys!
No worries Jeremy, it is sorta a custom outta left feild, after the apocalypse...it's really had a lot more praise and well wishers than I'd ever hoped for!
Leadsled, it's just running wild right now, but it's gonna be shortenned, and connected to a fabbed up breather box, on top of the CVT.
90GTVert.... had my eye on a water cooled .30 cal....but the BATF said no, not only no.....but HELL NO! So then I asked about an AK47 mount....
Guys.....no whiskers, NO whitewalls....sheesh!
Rebel....oh yeah, I been sitting on the seat, since I first started mock-ups. I can change the rear elevation, foreward pitch, with some longer, or shorter bolts, and some appropriate spacers. Righ now I'm somewhere around 27/64th above the lowest point in the back, and may go a tad higher. But I'll do a few mles first.
Swede...it is goiung to be hard to conceal all the wiring, so we go back in bhistory, and hide in plain sight. Wrap in plain ole cloth back electricians friction tape, and overspray as any military vehicle worth it's salt outta the 40's would have been. Then the minimalist gage, switch box will also be taped and painted over, as for the same period, and right next to it, a brite and shiny Vapor unit, as the scabs from after the Apocalypse would have foraged for any and everything to get a vehicle operational....Madd Maxx will live!
jr.....Ozzie is da man!

how about for the air filter doing a pipe up above the rear of the seat so the it can be ridden under water, HumVees have that kind of thing, if you know what I'm talking about.

Eh, you could even make it fake. the longer the tube the more the resistance to flow you know, so if it isn't fake it needs to be big. LOL a snorkel on a fin tail exhaust scooter.

Hmmmmmm....bigger snorkle....more spare mags......maybe even a holster for my .45, and a place to hang a few fragmentation grenades.....some "willie P!" Maybe even an M72 Law on the side of each floordboard......

THAT is just INCREDIBLY cool! My late Dad rode a GI issue Harley "45" in combat during WWII. Your custom is so different, yet so similar in concept to those war-horses! The solo saddle, ammo boxes, vintage tail-light, fishtail muff, paint... It all WORKS! Sure does look like something old Rebel hisself would ride!!! All you're missing is a Tommy-gun in a scabbard on the front fork... I suppose the BATF would frown on that!
I love it and I know my Dad would have too: especially since it's CHINESE... He KNEW they were on HIS side in those dark days, and he always had a real soft spot in his heart for anything Chinese... If he was still with us, he'd ABSOLUTELY be riding a a Harley, AND a Chinese scoot.
NICE WORK!
