Guess you missed my post that there was someone selling the proper P horncast on scoot.net... probably for cheap.

i hope you didn't destroy a potentially rare part that someone needed to finish a PK project, instead of buying a part that was readily available in just about every scooter mail order catalog in the world.

That's $15 for a brand-new one from Scooter Mercato.

Did you give up on the drop bars or are yours just very conservative?

he got that because it was the cheapest horncast he could find at the time and he was in a hurry to get one on there. He can always change it out when he picks up another P cheapo cast or he can keep the pk, it's his dicknose he can do what he wants with it.

I'm all for one doing what they want with their scoots believe me. However a PK cast on ANY other scoot other than a PK really looks bad.

I actually like the OG P2 horncast. But I don't think this looks as ridiculous as some of you are making out... the PK is a P on a diet (smallie P if you prefer), so the horncast isn't all that odd to slap on there.

Not my thing, but Dom is positive mine's a vietbodge given its whacky 2-tone, so I'm gonna call it even and give him the thumbs up on this one 8)

+1 I think it would look killer in the same flat black as the rest of the scoot.
