Im impressed youre getting things done in sub-zero temperatures. Maybe you have a heated garage? Ive been procrastinating doing any scoot work for the simple fact my garage is like a freezer box. I bet if I got a little space heater it would make it bearable...hmmm

BTW, I have a spare stem/fork assembly from an SE50 if you could use it. Not sure of fitment on the Aero since Ive never had one.

Yeah the cold weather is here, got some snow today. I only have a electric space heater for my small garage, takes a couple hours to warm up. But then sometimes I work so hard I create my own body heat :lol:

I think I'm sticking with the stock aero forks with a metro front wheel and elite brake, heard it was a good upgrade.

Definitely when the weather is better, I'm a fair weather rider. :smile:

Dear Mr. Meloshameless: having a BBQ grill burning inside a closed area creates carbon monoxide. You can, and will die die die if you do this long enough to deplete the oxygen from the space. I suggest you wise up and spare your family the grief of burying you because of your own doing.

Replacing the bushings on the motor mount, the rubber got burnt out while welding but I still have to remove the outer race of the bushing. A couple careful cuts to get them out, still need to use a press to install the new bushings.

Got the bushings pressed into the mount and painted it. Here's the mount bolted up to the frame.

Been watching this progress. Amazing feat!!

I have both an Aero 50 and an Aero 125. I'm all nerdy about keeping them in showroom condition. (My last Aero I raped with a vengeance)

Thanks man, these old Aeros are getting harder to find. If this Aero 50 was in better condition I'd almost feel bad about swapping the nh125 onto it.

I did a bit of re-assembly on the aero, cleaning parts as I put them on. Looked into the wiring, it's all ready giving me a headache just staring at it.
