ok the seat on these3 stink I have seen ,what the Honda reflex seat looks like an its shaped more like a saddle ,in front there is abit of a hump there from slideing forward ,some of you know I got long legs 36 ,6ft4 ,an I feel like I am slideing forward though I don't want to ,my other thread shows how I removed the hump an feel I got a little room ,but still not what I sewhen I look at the Honda seat ,has anyone replaced there seat with the reflex on ,the one I got seem rugged .but just not the shape of the old reflex I don't plan on doing a lot of 2 up rideing an realy wish the seat was just straight with that little hump the Honda reflex has ,82.00 to replace with a reflex seat ,I may be able to get the seat modified ,to have it just how I want it for around 100.00 there has to be other guys feeling same like if I lift my feet I will slide forward ,its an un comfortable feeling ,an I think could affect my rideing ,its been on my mind ,an now that I may be able to do something about it .I just may ,, 8-|hehehehehe we need to feel comfortable right like we are in a saddle I feel like I am slideing off the edge an that stinks realy ,not sure how other tall guys deal with it I realy about 6ft 2 without thwe shoes I couse I shrinking with the older age

got a set of the .453 1 1/4th chrome stems ebay $3.69 free shipping ,one guy was selling one stem for 31.00 ,got to shop ,the video looks simple an the best way to save few bucks ,but I may spend 28.00 to have it done at a tire shop,its worth not having a blow out for sure. an they look just like the ones in the video set of 4 with chrome sleeves,i am guessing a better made rubber,most are anyway ,could be wrong often am ,I guess the only thing I forgot is how to remove the shrader valve ,I am sure its simple thanks

well I guess it depends on how you look at it to me all the prices I see except a few are cheap ,think about the aggrivation of having to get a ride home to get the scooter ,meens getting someone to pick you up hooking up the trailer paying the gas it takes lets say your 100 miles out ,bring you home to get your trailer meanwhile someone could throw your scooter in the back of there truck,with the time you spent ,why not just keep what you had ,you should be able to drop them down the min when stored . when not using it ,bye the time you have done all that ,your scooter is picked up an most drivers will give you a ride to ,what your talking about doing could take hours ,instead of an hour , 8-|but what do I know I think just haveing roadside incase is the way to go ,an the added extras for 110.00 I thought It would cost more but it goes bye how much the scooter cost ,having the much needed comp helps if someone steals you scooter ,the liability for hiting another couse you never know ,an uninsured motorist ,for the one who knocks over your scooter ,then its covered ,did you call AAA for there roadside program for anyone

have you figured how much you getting per tank? 3,8 gallons is it I think ,so? :-/I hear reality with city rideing is 60 mpg ,they say 80mpg ,going on the low end then some the 60 .220 miles per tank I guess to be safe , reset the miles indicater at each fill up an keep an eye on it ,or just use a stick is probley good,I guess if mine goes to half way ,or I know it goes up some,,or does not work at all ,now that would stink with a car ,but I guess the fact that my average ride would be 50 miles both ways ,I am not sure I will replace it if it does not work ,in your case I would just figure ok half full ,  ,i guess the fact that they seem to get 250 miles per tank a guess,,if I check it a few times a week good,they say there is one liter in it on E ,I got to find out about the turn signals being oposite ,I did print up that thread an hope in a few weeks to remedy that ,probley only thing that may fail inspection for ,darn inspection for an oversized moped ,the red Dragon with a woping 16.5HP hehehehe  |

I hear AAA has roadside for like 40.00 per year an any car scooter ect can be towed home most do up to 8 tows per year. progresive I got quote of 110.0 per year with roadside an liability uninsured motorist that's cheap ,how much were you paying at first I did not see you were using progressive extra buck how much 110 .00 to me is cheap per year are you looking for .sounds like you were paying a lot more then that quote I got ,but like said I hear AAA sell roadside for any .below certain weights .like if your buddy does not have road side AAA tows any ride you say you were on ,I will be going with my deal at 110.00 per year I found to be a deal couse the cost 1850.00 for the scooter ,they have it in there fileing keeping it there for me to open soon ,its 8 bucks a month for all that ,I just pay in full ,my car there only 6 month policys couse thats progressive ,mabey it has to do with a lot of things ,my car is like 500.00 per year 600.00 2 cars discount with full coverage ,though I do the swithch I got comp on Camaro when stored .full on winter car ,then in spring I switch .full on Camaro an comp on sable
