I don't know... it might scrape the ground when you do a wheelie!  ;D

Seriously tho it looks like it was made for your bike. A very cool and different (in a good way) look.

question Vivo, the one with the stubby muffler only has one shock, doesn't seems really safe for riding.

Stubby used a different swingarm and bigger shocks (SYM Shark 150 Mono Shock) and later included a rear disc brake conversion...

Safe? So far, no problem.






This is the SYM Shark 150 with the original mono shock.




This s8 has a different mono shock mod... Not a DIY tho...

THIS IS MY SUPER 8.  I'M EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEDS FOR THE PARK LIGHT.

THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS A FLAT LED T10 BULB AND THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS A MULTI-LED (32) T10.
AND THAT'S ME TAKING THE PICTURE.






NIGHT SHOT...



AND THAT'S MY RHUM DISPENSER...

Another DIY. Removed the "secondary flap" on the rear splash guard.  Just a few screws. You may not notice it but this wide flap flaps n flaps during high speed. Now, no more flappin'





Here's one with the flap still attached...

Wow. Where to begin... The rear brace/splash rail. That is very much like the fork brace idea I have for the ZX. On the front vs the rear. That's a Like it from me. The Flat led gives a nicer color in the Picts. The shorty pipe... I just bought one for the Vruk  http://www.ebay.com/itm/scooter-exhaust-shorty-performance-50cc-125cc-150cc-250cc-kart-buggy-muffler-gy6-/130601793421?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D9216243266171029901&_qi=RTM742988  Mine is in black... Gold was out of stock.
My favorite is the booze pourer... I have to start drinking again... Labor day week in Carrabelle is getting closer every day, and I need practice drinking. Rum just may work. I'm on track with the skid pegs too. I've figured a place to mount a bracket on the pipe side. Actually to the pipe mount on the engine case. I'm digging your enthusiasm!

Seats are easy. I modded the foam, and re stapled it with Monel staples.
