Managed to pick this up from a good friend, some work needed but will be preserving the patina as best as can. Extreme thank you to V oodoo for the hens tooth battery door, it fit right on, truly appreciate Terry! Will be matching paint and wear marks to blend best as can!

Scoot was rather complete but I am looking for an original set of 70s levers (one with brake light actuator), et3 flywheel, stator and crank. I have CEV turn signal parts (pods, stems, etc) and working femsatronic rally parts (box, stator, flywheel, crank) to trade.

More updates to follow!

Thank you V oodoo

Honda motorcycle cleaner worked great!

Swapped for euro small frame light

Positive

I believe I got your levers & maybe even a used crank that should still have some life.

4.5 layers of medley paint: house paint brushed, oil, brush oil primer (extra thick) mystery pink layer etc. Proceed with acetone, cotton balls, tips and exfoliating pads…and many many hours…finally has been removed. Nice to have an original blue door with patina to match!

1st round

2nd round

3rd round..it's under there

Lost count on the rounds…final product!

Highly Rated

But I wanna see it on the bike! Have you thought of a good NAME for it yet? I was maybe thinking of "Spot".
