![]() My neighbor across the alley hooked me up with a motorcycle lift for $20 today. And my missing second roll of flooring finally showed up, so I'll get that down and be able to finish unpacking the new workshop.
And I'm going to take Jim's P200 motor off his hands so I can build a Kill-Myself-Fast motor. All-in-all, not a bad day for this scooterist. ![]() Hey buddy! Need a lift?

![]() CONVERTING TO LED HEADLIGHT
Quote: Option B is to just wire in an AC to DC converter right before the headlight. PK125 XL disc brake and LED headlight conversion Quote: You could also tap into the DC wires at the keyswitch. Tie in a jumper to the left side light switch and you’re good to go. Clean DC right off the battery. Thanks for helping me out with this. |

PK125 XL disc brake and LED headlight conversion Quote: You could also tap into the DC wires at the keyswitch. Tie in a jumper to the left side light switch and you’re good to go. Clean DC right off the battery. Thanks for helping me out with this. I’m not sure at how many watts the DC side of the stator will charge the battery back up and at what rate. A standard P has a 35 watt headlight that has 12VAC going to it. I’m not sure how many watts are coming off the DC side of the stator. Obvious there is plenty of DC to power the brake/tail light and turn signals, but I don’t know how much is left over to power a 12VDC accessory. I was using 40 watt grip heaters on my P2 (wired directly to the battery), and the 9ah battery that I had couldn’t quite keep up. I would think that it would be able to handle a 20ish watt LED headlight with no problem. |

![]() Installed an original Piaggio front shock on my smallie. I put it together with parts from 3 different shocks. Having that "bug" stamp as Voodoo calls it is what's really important here.
