Got this scoot from a customer at a steal, she wanted a sportier model and I like this one. It was kinda banged up so I cleaned her up and tore her down to the frame













more pics to come later. as I make progress on the scoot.

forgot to include these

Old chrome trim holes make great places to mount spikes!

Wow! What brand is the little scooter blitz? Is that the scooter you was repairing the body panels on?

Doesn't look like a usual black more of a charcoal looking black? Gonna keep it or try to make a few bucks on her?

Nice work and pretty!

The paint is Krylon Dual satin black all in one primer and paint. It is my personal scooter and yeah it's the one I was repairing the panel on. It is a 2008 Eagle Milano 150

I painted my tail light housing and I got my LED's in the mail for the turn signals and tail brake light, now I just need to wire up my resistor and diodes to make my "high mount" have a dim and bright for tail/stop

OK The suspense here is killing me! Descriptions of what's going on now.

Light over the front wheel? This is shaping up to be one mean scooter folks!

THIS will be VERY sharp! The Professor e-mailed me on this. Health issues have kept me off the scooter sites for some time, and I need to get back now and then. I can't imagine anyone thinking these slick little turtle-deck scoots aren't sporty enough! Heck, they are totally Vespa cosmetics inspired. For a custom, they are HARD to beat for raw material!

As for my own "personal" taste, I think you're right on the money... I'm anxious to see where you take this one. It's sorta "Rat-Rod" and sorta modern-day "evil"... Whatever it ends up, it will be a head-turner.

Ride safe!

very cool ride let us see the finish bike

[blitztek]

ok ok, this is a day to day kind of thing and it goes a little slow, but here goes.

Red underglow is unfinished. I have 4 more strips to install before it's done.

Switch on handle bars controls the led underglow

switch in cubby replaces spent alarm box and adds a "hidden" kill switch

fuse for system is a screw type panel mount above kill switch

under key switch is a cigarette lighter. I don't smoke but it's nice to access fire sometimes, and to use my phone charger or plug in my GPS!

Still have lots of work to do. I am shaving (bondo) the side trims on the hip panels, so that may take a while.

Still need to "spike" the front panel to match the fender

Still need to paint the rims red and paint my white walls with white wall paint.

like I said, lots to do, no time to do it

All work and no play makes Trent a dull boy

[blitztek]

;D

[blitztek]

So, I took the old girl home so I could get some work done in her as she was just staring at me from the shop's corner. She Looked so sad.

I still need to pull the wheels and paint the rims, and whitewalls.

A question -- have you checked the BMV regulations about light color placement? All red under glow is really nice but you may run into legality problems with red lights running on the front of the scooter.

[blitztek]

all the LEDs face the ground and texas is very mc friendly. LED lighting is considered "visual safety features". LEO's only attention is checking out the bikes around here.
