I wanted to bring a little color up front on my bike so, decided to pull the rubber foot pads and paint the exposed border and edge of foot pad. Came out good and added a subtle touch of color to the unique design of these bikes. Others may want to consider. Or not.

Nice rug . ;)
We need a whole bike pic to put that detail into perspective .

Like I said...subtle. Especially with a cell phone camera.

Much better when seen as part of the whole .
That's a nice looking bike , for sure .

Thanks. More importantly it starts and runs even better. After adding the free flow A/Filter and exhaust, combined with the richer jet(#90) and a new 140 emulsion tube it was like night/day. These motors are really choked off as manufactured. It Purrs like a kitten at idle and runs out really nice all the way up to full throttle I kept and modified the governor to a 4k top rpm (45mph) with a comfortable cruising speed about 30-40mph because of its braking limitations. The Comet clutch transitions are really smooth also, after adjusting the driven clutch. (choice of 3 settings) It makes a nice addition to my other mopeds for summer...if it ever gets here! (Rode my ZR7 one day last week, now we got another 8" of bleep'n snow. ARG!)

I think they sold tire chains for the Simplexs that ended up up North . ;)
This has been a Winter for the books , no doubt . Even here on the gulf coast we've had skim ice in the puddles a couple times and I must have spent $125 on heat this Winter .

Pete, up here that is about 1 weeks worth of oil. Man, it has been a brutal heating season.

Here in Minnesota, propane was up over $4.50/gal. and some people I know had to fill their 1000/gal. tanks 3 times since fall just for their home. Let alone cattle/livestock barns. Not to mention the cost of corn prices for cattle/livestock feed. I should have bought meat and milk as an investment instead of as groceries. Dropped recently now to $2.90/gal tho. LOL

Wow , that's a lot of heat . I recall heat bills in that range , but they were few .
We like the no snow and low heat bills we have with our current lifestyle . I do miss having a shop to putter around in , though .

Oil is currently around $3.80 a gallon. I burn about 1200 gallons a year.

You could buy a decent Simplex for that kind of money , Rick .
Where are your priorities , anyway . ;)
