Part out the Met. Worth more in parts! The front frame alone (if VIN'd and titled) is worth double what you paid for the entire scoot

The met is a friends that I'm helping him build. If it was mine I'd part it. It's not titled and the vin has been ground off :/
After finishing the spree I knew I needed a 2t heart for this. This should be perfect for this bike! The gy6 is so d*** heavy and I didnt like the added weight on the left side from the motor being offset for the fatty. gy6 is over rated and cheap

Like anything, the GY6 with tons of work and tuning can be a reliable monster. I've rode some beasts! get a very well built 232, and you'll poo yourself it's soooo fast! A whole other monster.
I've fallen in love with the 2t

Greetings:
You sure that tire's seated at the bead, Hatch? Looks to me like you could put a finger between rubber and rim.

Crunch time, gotta have this thing ready by friday for a local bike show over the weekend.
i swapped my compressor in front of the mount which allowed me to run a rear facing carb. that 28mm polini looks so gnarly in front of that tire. cant wait to get the big evo filter!
still gotta clean up the loose wires but im filling up this space quickly! currently working on the fuel pump and coil mount right now. i should have that finished up and the lines ran tonight.

Coil and fuel pump brackets made, fuel lines ran. still gotta test to make sure it flows correctly.
after i got the coil hooked up i tested for spark and i got it!!

thank goodness i wired this correctly
got the waterpump mounted and the rest of the water lines mocked up. Going to pull the freshly made brackets and shoot them black, wrap the harness in nice loom and final assembly
gonna make this bike show this weekend!!
