remove buddy seat?
« on: December 18, 2014, 04:09:13 PM »
I have 2005 People 50 with buddy seat option.  I think scooter looks cooler without the buddy seat, so I want to remove it.  I have looked but don't see the fitting that remounts the carrier rack without the buddy seat.  Anyone know where I can get that part, or some other good way to mount it.  It looks like all I really need is 3 spacers, but would just as well get the OEM part if I can find it.  Cheers

There is an OEM bracket that goes under the stock rack configuration. I'm getting back to work Tuesday pm me and I'll send one out as long as you cover shipping.

Yeah I wish Kymco sold crate motors, I've only been able to get one engine from them and that was out of a demo bike for warranty work. You could build a screamer out of those 3v engines. I'm sure they have bbk in Taiwan for it.

I found the long bolts <allensfasteners.com> for approx $10.  Had to cut them to length and mounted it up, looks great.  Thanks Bettin

Don't have crate engine, but about 300 miles form here on CL there is project People 50 for $100.  If it wasn't so far I would go get it.  Cheers

That's just the way I like them.
My ZX was in the same shape when I bought it 6 years ago.

For $100 it would be great for spares?  I have been reading Art's old posts, I think he may see the beauty.  Cheers
