On the indicator could it be bad connection where panel meets the frame? Grime/crap in the hole?

This is genius! Now after thinking about the possibilities, I need to try this on something w/ this technique but without just copying your style.

All done, got any final pics?

I agree.. as I mentioned earlier.... you did a hell of a job on his one... Love it.. you should be proud!...

NOW... If you can just stay out of the way of the crappy drivers that keep running into you! stay out of the way of the shitty drivers, and you'll have a bitchin' bike for years to come...

Super nice work B!

Cool. Doesn't look nearly as fucked up as your previous bike. MOT shouldn't be an issue.

So by 'torch', you don't mean the medieval type I hope... or propane?

Yeah, I know, flashlite - but does sound rather risky the way Bitz puts it. The hairs on my back went up all by themselves. Just rinse the tank w/ plenty of water first in case of electrical sparks from your tiny torch. Razz emoticon

Sounds like you will even be riding it soon. Any chance of a rolling shot or two? Eyelashes emoticon

I want to see this glorious scoot now that its officially roadworthy and such !
Also if its a stock engine fuk it run regular,,, for my kitted scoots they get the best and at least semi synthetic oil.
I 've just been tuning in a new engine as well and its been doing its share of burping finding the right needle!!! Wha? emoticon

Good luck to you and lets have some more pics -I really like this build you did.

When you got to post pictures from Imgur, I've found the easiest way to get the link for posting to here is to select the picture on imgur, then on that screen, then
(1) select "large Thumbnail" and
(2) click the copy button for "Linked BBCode," then just paste into your post and it'll be all nicelyl formatted and linked back to the original full-size picture.
