Claiming that $8,000 was spent to get countskustoms.com to do the work... So reserve needs to be somewhere close to $8k...

Hard to tell because of the glare - but is that odometer set all the way back to 00000.0?

I'd look in all those mirrors and be chanting "we are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods" every time I rode it....

Just stop. It's from Vietnam. That seller in Henderson is a known bodge importer.

"coutskustoms.com" is either located in Vietnam.. or else they work really, really hard to faithfully recreate every styling cue of the lai tai (sp?) special!

Counts Kustoms is the business featured on Pawn Stars - have their own series now too I believe. They do cool work. Maybe they would have repainted it? But they wouldn't have built it, as is obvious

I can't talk about anything when my mouth is full of stomach bile.

You would think if all statements are true that he'd include a photo of the $8k in recipts and something with countskustums on it. As I look at the photo's he does have, I see the the piaggio logo on much of the chrome trim. I've not seen any VN scoot with brand name chrome acc. The exhaust as well seems much higher quality than I've seen on VN stuff. Even the paint appears to be a base, clear not what we've been seeing on VN junk. I'm wondering if maybe it came from VN and then was redone again in the states? Either way, I'm not interested.

That bike is SOOO VN, they probably added the mirrors and that's the "custom" part...

I think that other guy who did work for them (refurbished old gas pumps and stuff like that) who also got a show, did some scooter but didn't really do the work either.. that's the story anyway.. Oh American Restoration I think it's called.

When did England change their flag ?

is that an anticross i see on the front .... thats too wrong even for me

that thing has all the bodge hallmarks. the exhaust is pointing down and almost touching the ground. lol

We wrote to the custom shop. They replied saying they added some custom touches to it, but did not restore it.

You can buy body panels from that Nam Shop already painted with just about any flag you prefer.

I thought this might be the case

Yikes! It appears that I have a lot to learn when it comes to bodge spotting....

You'd think with all that money into this thing that they'd put a decent pair a boots on it and not a blown out set.
