Dang it homie! I missed out! I spent the afternoon at the Nursing Home and didn't see the links. Okay, I wrote the part number down. A hunting I will go, and if itsa No Go, then I shall ask Mr. Honda-man himself ;)

8) Sticker bombing Fugu? Got your own theme or are you buying a kit?

I'm going for my own theme :-)
Not sure yet, on the lookout for some cool things.
Will proberbly start with a small area, such as the rear mount for Box, there is a small square you can take off :-)
Alrighty, keep us posted. You're starting in the practice zone: on a small piece of tupperware. Smart move! :P

Yeah, not a "more badges" guy, if i can fabricate an OEM base, I may strip the ESP on the variator /engine and replace with this. On the road now, so itll be a while before i get to this.

I like what you've done with the 'L' perhaps the best solution I've seen here yet. Beautiful back drop and a GREAT choice of color!
Thanks, can't stand the L being shoved on the black front screen. Finally got a basic Dslr camera, so should be able to take some far better images in coming months when it stops raining. :lol:

My wife's bike is fixed but I can't ride both of them, AND I don't feel right about taking the bike out without her. She is depressed enough about not being able to ride because her shoulder is still healing. I am spending my time adding little things to my bike. I added strobe lights (very small) and now I am waiting for a better switch so that I can turn them on or off as necessary. Still, it would be so much better if she could ride. It is like taking a vacation to a place you went to with loved ones who aren't there any more. Luckily she is still alive, just not riding.

Here is my PCX called "PepĂȘ" 8)
"PepĂȘ" is how my 1 year old nephew calls bikes, motorbikes, helmets and everything else related to two wheels vehicles :lol:

'PePe' is stunning, I LIKE IT!
Wings are in the right direction and the wheel stickers o_O and raised white Diablo's... I want some!

Is it possible you could link us up to those 14" wheel decals. Been looking longtime for those.

Thanks!

I painted the Pirelli Diablo Scooter logo on the tires with a pen that somebody recommended me. It's a Uni Paint Marker PX-21. You need a little caution, but it easy to do.

I bought the reflective wheel decals in a local website called Mercado Livre (I would call it a Brazilian Ebay :lol:)
But I don't think they ship it internationally :(

And all that RED... it's not painted. I did it myself with adhesive vinyl ;)

OMG you are awesome! I tried carbon fiber wrap once and when I was done there were several big wads of wrap and none on my windscreen. Chief says he can appreciate the skill it takes to do that.

Before I start it, I was already thinking that I would not be able to finish it. (I'm not a very patient guy...)

I'll not lie. It was not fun to do :x It's really difficult but with a little help of my wife, I did it :)

It's far from a perfect job. If you see closely you'll find imperfections. But it's ok for a first time.

Believe me. You'll need help. It's a four hand work.

Here's my favorite pic of, er, oh my God, I haven't named my PCX yet :D Anyway, here she is on her way to a Halloween party :D
What kind of headlights are those? Love the whiter color.
