I was going crazy trying to get brake pads for my Japan Gyro Up .
After many calls and running around went to the China scooter shop that sold me a Gyro a few months back for parts .
With-in 2 min. he was holding 2 new China pads that matched my Japan Gyro .
We started talking and he said I should check out a site MRP ,
I think I found something interesting for Gyro rim swaps ... Check this out .

Looks like you could put a 4 bolt rim on a gyro .

Look I was working all night it was very late . I wasn't thinking ... OK very good point .
Are brakes really that important ? How often do you really use them ?
I need a Darwin award .

That celebrity X is even worse. The tranny slips so it will pull a wheelie at random and free wheel when you want to stop. At least that one has the good wheels on it.

Like I said I had no sleep and sometimes my mind plays tricks on me ... I said NO to drugs but they just won't listen ...
I found a nice bike today its called a VIP and it comes all the way from China , and they only want $900.00 for it / It does need some work .
Do you want to sell that tire in the photo ? The VIP only has rims no rubber .

Have you looked at it in person? From the pics, I would call that a Honda Ruckus. The China version has a one piece frame.
