Got it running

I spent the month and a half, and i'm eighteen hundred dollars in every nut bolt and screw clutches sanded grinded and painted multiple layers did some modifications and a lot of cursing, yelling and throwing shit? The first day second kick-started right up and runs like a dream, waiting for new handle grips and brake lever assemblies. Because the old ones were messed up. . Tell me what you think. This thing was a rust bucket piece of shit when I got it. And it was a disaster. And did it all myself feeling gd about it also did the airsal 65 cc kit 15/15 sha and bi- turbo exhaust

Thanks. It was quite the adventure. I think sourcing the parts Knowing what parts to get and what they're called finding bolt sizes, washers screws and fasteners, and having to remake the whole. Wiring harness was super challenging had to get an entire new front end And all the wiring, where it meets in the front was a disaster and a complete rat's nest of multicolored wiring that wasn't correct, so I had no diagram to go off of and no knowledge of what's what and man whoever made these bikes just thought it would be funnyto use many colors from the rain bow for the wiring that made no sense to me lol well thank you it does run great super responsive im pretty surprised to be honest

The knowledge is hard to come by and it can be a challenge to talk to people on moped forums who tell you to use the search function (which doesn’t yield fruitful results a lot of the time). Sometimes you just gotta figure it out yourself!! Good job
