My scooter is farther along than these photos.  Wiring is finished. LED converted headlight! I will assemble the throttle and grips to the handlebars tonight.  And working on 'kickerless' kickstand mechanism.

So back on the scooter.  Going rogue for 'Outlaw' Portland!  Just kidding.  I took the sheet metal off to finally pinstripe it.  Plus I have the rack test fitted and painted.  I will put in on after the fenders are back on.

The deed is done.  Now allow ample drying time then can begin reassembling.

About 30 minutes. Just a little practice on how much pressure to put on the wheel to ensure it keeps turning. Practiced on separate piece of sheet metal.  Used same paint as I used for the wheels but without the accelerator.

That's about how long I practiced , too
I don't think the paint I used had much if any accelerator .
I recall being able to cleanly wipe my mistakes away without leaving traces .

The Beugler sure helps the job look professional . ;)

Pete . :)

Nice job Tom!  I like the Buegler, makes the job relatively easy.
