Aero/Tact conversion

[Armstrong1]

Greetings! Picked up an Aero a few months back and have been converting it to a JDM Af09 Tact! Enjoy

mods:

Metro wheels/tires
Elite front brake
Polini belt
Polini variator
Polini center spring
Malossi fly clutch
Tact AF09 rear fairing
Tact AF09 rear light
Tact AF09 front cowl w/ blinkers
JDM mirrors
DJ1r Honda expansion chamber










Next to install the JDM meter, comes with gas!



I have all black JDM plastics that delete the aero side blinkers also. Still need to clean them and install. Still on the search for a black Tact saddle! Next mods will be a larger carb with carbon reeds.

Wow!!! Nice Job! I love that headset and the hi-cut rear panels....Good job! Thanks for sharing it. If I hear of a super tact seat somewhere, I will contact you. Bones

Thanks for the love B. The meter is wired different than the nb50 so I need to get creative. Will keep you posted.

Thanks G, I love the Aero scoot, This is my second one. Only way I would get an elite would be if it was converted to JDM dj1r otherwise nb50/Af09 all the way!

Love the panel swap!!! Your bike looks great.

Any fac plastics you have leftover I'd love to buy off you. Yours is the same color and looks a Lil bit cleaner!

[Armstrong1]

Here's an update with new black interior plastics fully restored. Found a black saddle and I'll have it in a couple weeks. The plastics where extremely weathered but a heatgun with a wipe of tire shine has them look brand new.

DJ1r Honda expansion chamber( came painted blue from Japan)

Great choice the Aero...
Tact is a sharp looking scoot.

Sweet, love all the jdm parts. Where you find em? I want disc front end for my CH250!

[JoshKamp330]

That looks awesome. I love the look of the signals up in the headlight shroud. Were you able to use the usdm headlight

Aero all day everyday

[Armstrong1]

Bikes running super well and looking even better! It cruises 43-44mph. Feels really stable with the f/r metro wheels. I'll get some fresh pics up soon. Thanks for the comps gang.

Finally revived from the dead. Lowered and stretched the rear 3 inches. I'm going down a size on the front tire to a 80/90 10 though. Not that it rubs in the front, but looking for a staggered look while keeping the metro rims. Needs a good clean and I'm contemplating color matching the wheels white but really want some dio rims or at least a rear for now.

Greetings:

Handsome Exotic (to us in the U.S. and A. anyway) scooter. Is the beer can stand permanent? Maybe use the Polini one on the chamber?

I would urge caution in downsizing to an 80/90 up front. For one thing, the wider Met rim is going to stretch the profile of that smaller donut in a weird way. For another. the speed rating on the smaller (Spree-size) tires can be lower. Lastly, the 2" suspension travel needs all the cush it can get from the tire.
