Almost anything is possible. Not everything is practical. There are a few ways to attach things to handlebars, but is there any chance you have a top box and can put a cup holder of sorts in there rather than add extra things around your scooter. Otherwise without screwing something into plastic, ha...

Summicron I am wondering if you are after foam grips for looks or to ease the wrist. If it is the latter may I recommend using a simple to fit cheap little item called a wrist saver sold at probably any and every bike shop. Positioned (properly) on the very outer end of the accelerator grip it is so...

I fitted a GIVI E300 MONOLOCK® 30L TOPBOX CASE + PLATE (Micro 2 lock set) $129.00 on my 2015. I did not drill and refit the cover as drilling & refitting it serves no purpose as it did with the earlier models. Plus if I ever remove the top box the cover is perfect to just refit. Lots of space fo...

Nice look. It would be interesting to see same with some extra striping on the spokes too about 3mm wide but I imagine that would be really fiddly, but maybe with a couple of different colours I think would look really cool at night in headlights. I also like your driving lights but would have much ...

gn2: quote: Or you could just unbolt the front caliper and ziptie it up out the way. There are At least 3 good reasons why no person should do this. 1/ It mechanically & dangerously interferes with your scooter. 2/ It is Dangerous if you attempt to ride with absolutely no front brake. 3/ It is a...

I have a genuine request to ask of any PCX owner who is also a Actual Mechanic, or is actually very mechanically capable and who also has a correct tool for what I am asking. I would be interested in genuine feedback from one or more aforesaid competent people to fit a actual proper brake hose clamp...

As per my statement on post length to JohnL: Quote: you are welcome to condense it so it is still clear and correct. If training manuals could be kept to just one page or a few lines I imagine they would be. I do not disagree with your statement on short attention spans to long posts but to the more...

And sadly, not a comment on my handlebars, backrest, panniers. Ahh well. A topic for another day maybe.

honkerman: (quote: For someone who accuses other people of being keyboard warriors, you type an awful lot. I got bored after the first paragraph and am moving on to other things.) And that, sir, is the reason that when you type your opinion you are as a dry canteen to a thirsty man. You have to put ...

First off for the benefit of everyone, the test it out on wet grass was more or less a tongue in cheek thing to one or two who seem to indicate I am full of it. It is not that I expect someone to do it. (but I would like to see the video if they do try it.) 2nd thing is that before I had separated m...

Alibally you are correct sir. I am very sorry that a thread started by myself with good intentions to offer warning to the unwary has become a challenge of my integrity and professional knowledge by one or two or three with nothing but a mouth to back themselves up.(or fingers on a keyboard in this ...

One last suggestion for the brave and sure of them self who might like to prove me wrong in my advice in the opening post of this thread. There is a simple way you can prove me wrong. Have a friend take a video of you on your scooter on something like a grassy or wet grassy surface. Travel with enou...

n2: (quote;You have reduced the amount of force which can be applied to the front brake by removing the CBS master cylinder.) Quote from myself at the top of page 2 of this thread: (I have done as Oyabun indicated and fitted a short braided hose and banjos linking all pistons.) My right brake lever ...

gn2: (quote: I know what I know. Two master cylinders are better than one.) I am sorry, but you may have to explain that one to me. Oh and on the insurance side of things; it is no problem advising them as, the requirement here is that the brakes meet the legal requirements. CBS is not a legal requi...

honkerman: (quote:I mean no disrespect nor wish an argument, but I'm wondering if there isn't something that got screwed up in the process of changing up the braking system. When the rear brake tension is properly adjusted on my PCX, it will lock the rear wheel so that the axle nut can be removed. T...

This 2nd MC does indeed operate the larger (26 mm?) piston of the caliper. Sadly I must correct an incorrect statement I had earlier made. Somebody else pointed it out to me and they were indeed correct. The CBS master cylinder actuates the middle piston of the 3 which is also one of the two smalle...

gn2: I have offered no suggestion ever that I might be the only mechanic commenting on this thread. I have in my last post if not elsewhere stated clearly that the rear brake is correctly adjusted, and yes even at the actuator end. Also if this were not so then you would have to be suggesting that t...

Thank you everyone (almost) for the interest and replies. One or two of you force me to repeat for the 3rd time that the reason for this post was not to complain, nor am I seeking help. I have stated in both my post & subsequent reply that I wished to inform other users and hopefully save them f...

G'day Homie & Oyabun. Thanks for the reply's. I live in Australia. I am not desperate yet to change the rear brake setup, just disappointed it is so weak. My real reason for the post is to hopefully save someone from an accident in a corner particularly if for some reason it is poor traction. I ...

Welcome Scarlet, and if I might offer my opinion, if drivers behind you require a warning for when you simply decelerate not using your brake nothing short of an air raid siren will help them. I understand your desire to think about your safety, but many years ago I was in a car in a line of station...
