Sorry to hear about your friend, but that is a great tribute to them! Glad you were able to finish it off to honor them. Now enjoy it like you know they would have! Ride it like you stole it and put some scratches and dents all over it through some fun experiences!

If you're gonna cut a scooter down please do it right - this is example #1 of it done right.

Apparently I missed your build update back in March. LOL! This is an amazing build. Attention to detail that you really cant see here. Roliver has been wrenching on this for a long while, and done amazing work. Nothing left untouched! its nice to see it just about complete. Great work!! Clap emoticon

Interesting you moved the rear brake pedal to just in front of the foot peg so you can press the brake while resting foot on the peg!

Also curious what you are plugging into the usb chargers on the headset while driving?

I was initially going to try and come up with a ridiculous reason for the charger ..but honestly the best explanation is that I wanted to have the ability to charge my phone if need...not necessarily while riding but parked. My first plan was to have it in the mini glove box I cut down but I scrapped that idea. The paint all needs to be redone and everything cleaned up but it's rideable now.
