Im so glad I found you guys, it may be a blessing and a mod curse. Already ordered a windshield and considering Glens exhaust. I promised my self I wouldnt go crazy with stuff cause I learned long ago its much easier to make a fast bike slower than faster.

You quickly learn that you can do more with that little bike than you imagined, so you start modding it to do even more, and it soon becomes that fun thing you didn't intend it to be when you bought it. :-)

It's a mod curse but this forum can make a mechanic out of you. Just don't do anything to void the warranty if you're not that mechanically inclined.

So what do you want to do first... maybe get rid of the goofy long tail on the rear? Cutting that down is a good starter mod and makes the PCX look a lot better. You've no need for the extended license mounting area like they do overseas.

There are better tires to be had but you live in paradise so those IRC's are fine.

fender eliminator thread, still looking good no complaints or new information, no reason to keep the tuxedo tail.
