Now thats some nice fab work. It almost looks too long, like you would need to lean forward to ride it.
@Pineapplegti The opinion on the scooters themselves is all subjective. I was talking about the owners and not the scoots. I was just saying ruck guys push the whole ruckus thing on you as if rucki are the truth of the world.. The same way vintage italian scooter enthusiasts try to force vespa history lessons, and that whole "Im an original, plastic sucks" speach on you.. All I was saying is that I find both equally obnoxious. I did not mean to offend you, and I apologize if my generalization of the vespa crowd struck a pesonal nerve.
Ride safe bud.

FYI motopeds and autopeds were the first scooters built, not Vespa.

Lookin good Alex. Don't mind pineapplgtj he hated on my scoot too. Prolbly builds cookie cutter catalog bikes with no custom fab what so ever. Can't wait to get mine up there and ride with you guys although mines built to only accel up to speed not top speed

Having issues...the motor starts and runs but the starter motor is engaged the whole time! I've looked up zuma starter diagrams and I don't seem to be missing anything so I don't get why it's still spinning. Obviously I know I can run it like that so I tried removing the gear and just running the kick start and I can't do thay either because the kick start splines are nice and flat. Also if I tighten the rear wheel nut the bike won't even move and that was after putting a washer behind it. 1 step forward 8 back, don't know what to do about the starter. Use a drill?

Really good feeling finally riding a bike I've worked so hard on for so long.


First ride was a slow one maybe didn't 40, ran really rich I couldn't even get into the power band, I took the main jet out of it's brass adapter piece and it's stripped so that's cool. Now I need a weird jet adapter for a carb that was just released.
