uuuuuuuuuh yes :oops: I have been trying to think of ways of changing the look as I'm getting bored as it's been in this guise for 4 years now, so thought a bubble screen, flip flop back rest and a mamouth wide mudflap for that 70's/80's look would give me a whole new look.

Can't afford a respray so it's either do something small like this or sell it and do another project :?

No dont do it, not with that spray job...If it was plain white with a target on yes go for it...but it is what it is, a street racer show some more pics not seen it before....Maybe change the seat/ grips/sprint rack/spare wheel carrier/short rear runners/full rear runners ? theres all sorts of subtle changes that transform a scooter but sorry Ian thats not it.....more pics please.. ;)

Yeh the pics helped but I've gone and bought some mirror brackets as the origianl bracket fouled the hydraulic mater cylinder now my problem is the mirror brackets make the screen stick out by a good couple of cm's so think I'm going to try and fabricate some shorter ones and try again......failing that it's back on ebay :flaming:

Her's some more pics for Lam 46 ;)
