Shinkos huh?  8)

I bought the same rear tire. Only mine is a 120/80-16. Much wider and a little taller. I've been looking at that front one you have too. 90/80. Slightly bigger also.

Not many tires fit the peop. Let us know how they work for you. Wet/dry traction and of course wear.

"Im new here btw"

Yeah, I can see it's your 2nd thread. Again welcome. This forum is great.

"i got home, sprayed some starter fluid, and it started right up"

Sweet man 8). That's awesome! You bought a great scooter. And it already has a bbk and exhaust. Nice. How many miles, or kilometers, does it have? What kind of exhaust is it? Sorry, you've got me excited now  ;D :D

I will snap a pic when i get home...its pretty dirty so i was looking to wash it tonight. it has 10k miles, 70cc kit, 19mm carb, and a chrome and blue exhaust that looks like this...

it is ridiculously peppy for a scooter, i had a zuma 70cc that is no way near as fast as this thing...

We love dirty pics! :D

You sure it's 10k miles? You know the odometer reads km.

You probably either have a Tecnigas or Leo Vince exhaust. Which is good.

Nice scoot man :)

I almost got a silver one. I had to turn my head back and forth about 10 times before I picked the red one.

What did you do with the passenger seat?

I ordered a set of those from Motorcycle super store one time and they only sent me one...  The other was backordered.  I still have the 100/80-16, but never got the other one.  They refunded my money, but dang, I wanted a matching set. :)  It wasn't long after that I found the Heidenau.  By no means are they cheap, but they're a heck of a tire.

Nice scoot!

Josh,

Did you install the Shinko? Is it for the front? If it is, I might like to buy it off you if you wanna get rid of it. After all I live about 20 mins from Mebane.

Didn't know you were so close!  We should go ride.

The tire I have is a 568, and is the rear size.  :(
