OK Guuy's, There is a knock off point where WE know some things, and the engineers know something else! In the wild west days ANYTHING could work. If I were to try to improve a "whatever" brand it would have to be a CHEAP one~! (the squigley happened by accident?!) DON"T BUY CIGS> for 3 weeks, and buy a GOOD KIT! The quality of the steel involved is the deciding factor. To this day I have NOT seen ANYONE buy the kit I recommended. I LOVE to figure how to fix things, but I don't like to see trouble w/ easy cures. If you /anyone has a better circle/skuare....!!! (help me calothrix)

I made the decision to quit, and quit. I won't bullsh** and say it was easy, it wasn't, but if you want to do it you just have to put your mind to it and do it.

Hippie grass! It also makes spending $1'000.00+ on scooter parts seem rational! I have approx $1'500.00 in parts. That was spent 2+ years ago. All I spend now is maintaince. ($60.00 a year)

..that same logic applies to even the incidental, preventive maintenance parts....don't buy unproven unless you want half-assed performance...and the opportunity to spend some more monies in the near future...
