Scooterotica

right, i cant wait any longer for my for my current series 1's paint job to be finished before i start the next series 1. so i have made a start on the panel work and have knocked it back to shape and now its just about ready for paint , i will be having ago at the paint myself this time so i can only blame myself if its s**t or takes longer than the first series 1.

i fancy a hot rod theme i.e white with flames on the side panels and was also wanting to get the scooter to sit lower thinking two to three inches . has anyone done this and where do i need to start cutting . cheers simon

Not planning on riding it round any corners then

I was admiring a series 1 low rider in Brighton last year, I'll try and find the pics for you. Oh, and the owner/builder...Harry Barlow.

Loads to consider when doing it I remember him saying. Plus very little kickstart travel. So so cool though.

yes this looks great, sits just right. was thinking about movinig the rear shock mount up a bit or cutting a bit of fthe rear damper spring or both and then shortening the front fork legs and notchtching the kickstart panel for kick start clearance ??

I just had visions of the legshields grounding but looking at the scoot in the picture, it doesn't look too bad

Air suspension. Any ride height you like from slammed to off-roader
