MOPED ARMY

Take the $800 and open a college account for the girl. While you are cruising a little slower you'll have the satisfaction of having done the right thing. Just my two cents

I'm not a puch expert but:

Something like that...

you can do so much performance with not spending alot of money. but then you could spend 1000's and get alot of performance too. if you want to go around 50 get a 70cc kit. 19del. and simo or homet. that shit would fly if you tuned it right. put some money into cosmetics as well. get some mags and powder coat them. and do a crazy ass paint job. very much fun can be had with 800 dollars and a ped.

how is the engine? usually when kitting and such you want to put new bearings and seals. its not so easy on the 2 speed. i would take the cylinder off and take a look. if its nice and clean and your bearings are good then go for it. get a nice slap on kit. the metra 65 is the best bet for first time kitters but hard to come by these days. go with something piston port. you don't really want to mess with reeds right away. athena 60, malossi 60, k-star 70, etc... also there is this little nub at the bottom of 2 speeds in the case that needs to ground down to fit the bigger piston. kind of a pain with out taking the engine apart. stick a cloth or something in there and seal the edges with silly put and grind it carefully. you don't want any metal bits in there. i would also go with a basic carb too. 16 dellorto is cool, but you will need to get the riser for 2 speeds or special 2 speed intake!! 1997 or mopedwarehouse has them I think! since you got some cash maybe go for a nice pipe, 6p homoet or something!! or boss for cheapies!! just an opinion from another moped addict!! cheers!!

i'll ride really slow with you whenever you want for 500. you'll seem faster by comparison. its a win win.

I called a place here in town that does powder coating and they want $395 for the frame and $100 each for the wheels. I never had anything powder coated before but that seemed pretty high to me. Let me know where you are having yours all done for $100 and I will ship mine out. Chip

Check locally, go to a dirt track race or something similarly sort of "white trash" kind, and ask around there, some of those guys will be able to recommend a guy who can do it for cheap. You could also mail it all to Motion Left Mopeds, for about maybe $150 round trip shipping through UPS, plus what ever kind of super good deal Devin will give you.

This is a ton of help guys.

as for the powder coating I got that covered. I am an Outsourcing Agent for my company and spend a couple hundred thousand a year at a few of my metal shops. I have talked to them all and they said they would do it for free just as long as I buy the powder and clear for it which is like 100 bucks at the most.

I got 800 max to spend and I looked up some stuff that you guys recommended and it looks like I will be into for at least 600 with the EBR's, Powder, Kit, and misc performance parts.

Like I said before, I got this bike for 50 bucks and plan on doing a ground up restoration/custon chop job. I may fuck it up, I may need to buy new tools, and I may need to take more time, however I will post the final result next June.
