Here are my reproduction side covers I made.  I had to measure the original I found and draw up a blue print then transferred it to the CNC plasma machine and burned them out.  I made two sets as I plan to have one set louvered for a custom look just for fun and keep one set original looking.

CNC Plasma, now that sounds like cheating! Seriously, they look great.  How are you going to retire and give up those cool tools? Lol

Travis told me I will have to work part time there to keep using the stuff but am considering a hobby size CNC table(PlasmaCam) for at home one day.

So I had wheel color matched from the inside of rims,  I buffed the inside to get as close as match as possible to original cream color.  Paint inside was like new.  So it won't be long and I will have wheels painted.  I have the hardware for them but still need to clean up hubs.  Frame is blasted and ready to move forward with new engine mount.  Covers are being louvered and parts are at the chrome shop.  Hoping they make it in time for Portland.  I had handle bars and stem chromed but not terrible price like other place.  $ 85 for bars and $35 for stem.

Hubs are pretty heavy duty looking.  Bolt holes instead of spokes and about 3/8" thick.  Brake drum looks the same except no spoke holes and bolts on.  Bearings and shafts look the same.  Will post more when I get them apart and cleaned up.

Point taken PD!  Figured I may as well add foam where I can.

Hub comparison.  Quick check with calipers.  Bearing tubes and bearings look all the same.  Axle is longer on scooter.  About 6 1/2" on Servi and 8 1/2" on scooter.

I thought I would show how the wheel pulley is attached to the rear wheel.  It is butt welded then welded right to the wheel.
