| Well I finally finished the the tupperware. I added decals, repainted the front fender " my puppy used it as a teething toy" painted the leg wind deflectors and finally finished the side case paint job. The main reason I added the decals was because I got tired of peolple asking me what kind of scoot it was and fast would it go. Funny most people say: what will it do 40 mph. Now hope fully with the 600 decals I wont be asked that anymore. Let me know what you think. Now all I want to add is a hit clutch and maybe cruise control. Pics are in my album, cant figure out how to attach them here. posting courtesy of jdeereanton |

| Looks super! Where did you come up with the side bags, and how are they mounted. I would suppose they would cut the gas mileage down... Old Dave |

| Looks very good. Been thinking of doing similar for a while now for nearly the same reasons. There is a good choice on Flea Bay, and Google shows a good selection. Which has been my problem, too much choice - creates cerebral overload!!!!!! |

| Thats a really nice looking bike. Maybe DennisB can put it in the forum page when it is time to change bikes. I'm very curious about the sidecases too. I was searching around last night for sidecases and it seems I had to buy one side from one company and the other side from another company.
Does anyone here have 1 site that sells everything for both sides of the SWing? I bet that thing really is comfortable with the nice seat and all the storage. Looks great. |

| Thanks for all the nice comments. The seat is a heated Russel Day Long and yes its extremally comfortable to ride on. I just tried to make this scoot mine, I like to be different, and Im pleased with it. But up close it does have flaws the pics just make it look better. |

| Nice job Randybuck, You have solved a mystery for many of us with the side case mount! When you get a chance please give us all the details. The additional footpegs was also an idea I wanted to try, thanks for solving that one too! Teaser: Sidecase mount was adapted from the givi pl-532 mounts (his picture below) |

| Thanks... The side bags are pretty cool. Dennis, what can you come up with? They would have a lower center of gravity than a top box. I just wonder if they would be worth the wind drag for fuel mileage... Old Dave |

| Hello Randybuck
Great job adapting the Givi hard cases. Thanks for the photos & details.
It appears that there are two rocker switches mounted in the left side panel (the one that covers the ECU & Relays, etc). What are they used for...and won't a passenger's leg inadvertently trip a switch?

| The scooter looks great and decals really set it off. I get the same questions with my wing. Most call it a moped! LOL I used to get a bit upset, but now I just agree with them & smile. We know what they will do. Dave |
