Put my Rally back together after some major tweaking and I finally got to where it can pull a 230lb 6'1 "Biggin" over 60mph. I'm I'm pressed ! Never thought I could get there (but I'll be gentle for now).

This is the first Scooter I've owned.But I've owned many ,many MC.

I'll post more pics after i doll her up a bit.

Hoping to get it on the road this spring.

I' looking for some touch up paint??? Chianti Red or something like that?

that's sweet.. nice job.

Just go to an auto paint supply store and have them match the paint off of your cowl or something and give you a touch-up bottle mixed up of it. They have a scanner there that can give them the closest shade to what you've got ....kinda like how Home Depot can do that with house paint.

Do NOT try to mix up something using paint codes. Your paint has faded over time, so a paint mixed with the original codes will be a brighter tint and won't look the same as the paint on your bike now.

Once that's broken in, you should be able to do a little more than 62 on that machine.
