I've had this for a while.......



But only picked this up today!........



Plan is to combine the two.

I know it's all been done before, but not by me.

Colin Furze documents it well here..... http://www.colinfurze.com/diy-fast-scooter.html

I don't plan mine to be a 'stealth' scooter, I want that motor on show!

Project already has 'wheelie' bars..........



Although they might need extending.

'Bull' bar too, although that'll need a bit of 'love'.

already in the rootbeer, maybe just some orange sides then.

Ah...getting to that time in life when you need to think of these things.

Like I said Marlin.

"I know it's all been done before, but not by me. "

Come on then Bear, get it going.

That is so wrong
Steve build a real zed instead

That'd be fun in the local shopping mall

I can't 'focus' too much on this project at the moment. My priority is to get the 'Budget' Z900 on the road. I'm just waiting for a dry day to take it for it's first ride, then depending how that goes, I can get it MOT'd.

Did find a couple of hours to remove all the body work & clean of a good accumulation of cobwebs, dead woodlice & a fair amount of what looked like mouse shit.

Strange thing was it actually started working today, I guess it had been stored outside or in a damp shed & the moisture had gotten into the electronics. A night in my warm dry garage made all the difference. I did think briefly about putting it all back together, giving it a quick polish & moving it on, but then stupidity got the better of me again & I carried on pulling it apart.

Couple of pics of it without clothes. The whole subframe with the motor, axle etc just slides out.

My initial thoughts are to fit a front engine mount to the seat post & build a new subframe that will be permanently fitted to mount the engine & rear axle.

Wheelbase will be extended by around 250mm & hopefully the exhaust headers will be far enough under the seat to avoid easily burning the backs of you legs.

It won't be long before you have Ralph after it, he has a thing about mobility scooters....... took one to a zed rally once

H'm , Might need a longer wheelie bar and wider stance unless its for Kawakazi (use only once ) .or just because it can be done

Don't I know it........ Just found this.
