While my Like "Shawn" is showcased at an international motor show by Kymco Philippines, they loaned me a service Like to use.. It's Stig's ride, without the rest of its accessories hehe.

Ouch! A small crack, rust plus heat and vibration can do that. Good thing that you can claim still claim warranty for it.

Thanks all.. It's my 3rd actually but first for the 200i.. And completed a whole Philippine loop, around 4000kms in total for 2 weeks.. Solo! That was 2 years ago though, on a scooter too. Hopefully I can find time and try it again with my Like "Shawn".

Next week though, my 200i will be showcased in an international motorshow. Will take some pictures and share them here too.  My 200i will be displayed for 3 motorshow events i believe in 3 months time this year.

Nice story Stig, it's weird that the dealer placed the LX models far back. They probably get better commissions on other bikes :P

@Vivo: nope never had any issues with the plate holder on humps. It probably looks it's installed very low from the pictures but the holder is almost at the level of the rear mudguard so there is no issue.

Thanks for the compliments to Shawn guys Ü

I have no idea Stig as to why different countries have different accessories available, probably a marketing thing.

As for the seat, yes I had it designed to add an inch of foam. The original seat hurts my butt, I can feel the plastic at the center portion.

Anyway, my Like mod project is complete, installed projector lens and finally the crash guards. I am very satisfied as to what I had accomplished, this design is what was in my mind the moment I laid my eyes on the Like.

Hope you guys like it ;D

I am most impressed with the time and effort you went through to have your pretty LIKE built to this standard.
Did you start with a cream white LIKE?
So much chrome!
Does the chrome plating weaken the alloy wheels?
I think I have seen the rear rack done in black as well as the chrome. As much as I like the profile of the scooter without the top box - I have now become too accustomed to its carrying ability - I do not think I could do without it in my daily scootering life!

Thank you for sharing this with us!
Regards, Stig

Thanks Stig, happy to hear good words coming from you :)

Yes, I started with the stock cream 200i color in which personally I didn't liked. If only the LX versions are available here then I could have been satisfied. Unfortunately, only the cream color is the only available 200i that they sell here in our country.

I might have overdid the chrome parts though ;D

Not sure about the chrome weakening the alloy wheels Stig, but from experience I did the same thing with my Yamaha Fino 2 years ago and rode the whole Philippines island (14 days) solo, and never had any issues with the chromed alloy wheels considering 70% of the roads I took looked like Moon craters ;D

As for the Top Box, I also had it done. For now the underseat storage is enough for my daily trips and if ever the need arises then I can always install the Top Box again for additional storage or just a big bag that I can tether to the rear carrier.

I'll have the crash bars fabricated similar to the Italian Like LX probably after the holidays to complete my project. had some new small additions added, will update and post some pics tomorrow.

Here's what the Top Box looks like to compliment the new look of my Like

Sweet Jesus! I've been looking in how to get that Faco rear rack from scootparts.nl. I've emailed them and a few other places inquiring if they ship to the US and have never heard back. Also where did you get the floor board runners? I've been looking into doing the same thing.

That is a GORGEOUS LIKE! Good, no GREAT JOB.

I didn't inquire, I immediately ordered online when I saw the rear carrier from their website and saw there is an option to ship to the US. I called them though to follow up and confirm my order just to be sure, had problems initially with their email system. They shipped it a few days after, including a tracking number.

Only problem is that the one that they have on stock was black, so I had to cash out for it to have it chromed after I received it.

As for the floor board runners, they are original runners for the Vespa PX 150. They're too long so I had to cut them to fit the Likes floorboard, it had guides already anyway which is perfect. The extra bits will serve as an extra. Got the runners locally from a Vespa 3rd party service and parts shop here.

Glad that you liked it sir :)

Thanks sir, will still have to look for a steels shop that can fabricate the crash bars.

As for the windshield, it could be an original kymco windshield since it has a small warning sticker with a kymco logo on it.. but I believe it's not made for the Like. The curve for the headlight is rounder.

It is sold by a local kymco dealer here in Manila.

Finally my Like 200i is back from the shop after 2 months of waiting. Sorry for the pictures, will have better ones once my project is complete, i still need to install HID and crash bars similar to the italian Likes, and probably little stickers  ;)

I got the faco rear carrier from scootnl from the Netherlands, had it shipped to the US thru forwarding and here in the Philippines. Got the information here in the forums as to where to get one 8)
