[@abefrohman1759]

You do awesome work.

[@ThatScooterThing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Mtrex_]

Amazing build! Really nice approach, some kind of restomod. I am trying to do the same with a 1964 125L, keeping the original aesthetics but with much modern mechanics. Regarding the PK fork, did you have to do some modifications? I have seen that the steering lock has to be modified, and also that the used shock has to be bit shorter. I don't know if you have any info regarding this... Thank you in advance!

[@jonathanparker2411]

Brilliant scoot that proper street sleeper

[@patrickrva7488]

Fantastic.

What led headlight/ pilot are you using?.

You just gotta love the casual smoke doing 60 mph. That´s big vibe :D btw, how much torque does it have?

Awesome!

How do you know which metering rod Smartcarb gave you? and which one do you have in this Smartcarb. Thanks Peter

[@peterwriede7772]

I think I'll need the 28mm for my 252 VMC, why so large with the 36?

[@jonathanparker2411]

Consider the quattrini 244 if you want to reclaim fastest scooter in Atlanta. 🤣 crazy torque and when you let it rev out it just takes off. 35.3hp currently in my engine stroked to 64mm and a few trick parts but no cylinder porting.’

[@ThatScooterThing]

Oh, I have something in the pipeline for my own little stupidity, 250cc LC.

[@EddieEloff]

I prefer old hooter. I also have sprint veloce. 11000km 1 owner I bought. Silver. When I got it up and going spark was so good, I almost Burned scooter down. Can sprint handle 100 120kmh? Non of my scoots are std. I have p172. Not 26hp but enough power to do 80kmh up any hill. Top speed 120ish. As I only put 22t clutch. I also have px221. Sprint I bought like 8 months ago want to do resto. Durban south africa has lots of rust so best to do resto. Engine still stock and 60kmh is kinda speed. I have ridden it only a few times to keep it alive. Not let fuel die. My pockets bit empty at the moment and yeah, can't really enjoy 7hp scooter. Best to bring scoot to date. That 6v system for the birds. Both my other scoots got 23w 12v led Philips globes that 55w output. I had to mod to h4 fitting. Definitely have to up your game.

Where I can find this seat

[@alonerider4187]

Explan abaut the brak light wear can find it ?

[@ThatScooterThing]

The brake light was exclusive to North America, New they are extremely rare. Found this, used, with broken glass. With two extra lenses younare easy 450-500$

[@edwinlomanhuerta6461]

Lovely scooter! I have a px200 now with quattrinni 244, with malossi x360 reed and phbh30, Im willing to upgrade to a smartcarb 38, my question is what is the manifold you are using, as you describe is a MRP but can you help me clarifying if is it 36mm o 38mm since SC from 36 to 40 have the same inlet according to the webpage! Thanks!

[@ThatScooterThing]

This was the 38mm intake, the venturi shape of the SC works well with a larger intake it seems. But I also used the 38 because it was at hand. The 36-38 mrp should be the same.

[@edwinlomanhuerta6461]

@@ThatScooterThing thanks for your comment I´m going with the 38mm since 36 & 38mm smarrtcarb have the same inlet diamater of 46mm !

[@carloscruz2515]

hi thanks for sharing your ideas and great scooter! May i ask for a recommendation for a decent shock absorber for my 2001 PX150? thank you in advance and more power!

[@ThatScooterThing]

It really depends on what your experience with setting up shocks is. My experience for example with the SIP 2.0 Race shocks was that if they were set up very wrong, they tried to knock me off out of turns (at... a fast pace). Otherwise, the SIP/BGM standard adjustable shocks are awesome! Bitubo you cant do much wrong either. A simple -progressive spring shock is not really that big of an upgrade as the stock PX late model shocks are already solid in that area. Spend some more. Be happy.

[@ThePSMA]

Great work! That’s a beauty. Is that a SIP Performance exhaust? Looks fantastic

[@ThatScooterThing]

No, it is a Pipedesign exhaust.

[@bobhoughton290]

I have been looking for that type of lift forever ( 2:09)! What is it and where can I get it?

[@ThatScooterThing]

Oof they are tricky to find. I got lucky. As far as I know there are 4 of them in the US. you can get similar lifts in Europe, but getting them over here is very expensive due to shipping costs.

[@mbahdoebleh3453]

i like it

[@ReVurbished]

Did you shorten the PK fork ? Very nice project. Greetings from Vienna Austria 🛵

[@ThatScooterThing]

No, it was the SIP one, already modified. Servus und Pfiati!

[@jonathanparker2411]

Which pipe design exhaust is it please?

[@ThatScooterThing]

Daytona

[@dang2443]

Pretty cool...except for the goofy blue light.

[@jesselauth4036]

it's an Atlanta thing

[@Yekstoyeksvespa]

Indonesia

[@westrose7525]

The switch still AC

[@ThatScooterThing]

No it is not. It is internally modified, it was meticulously taken apart, modified and reassembled.
